What is Pitch ICE 2023?

Clarion Gaming has been providing start-ups with a gateway to industry investors and strategic partners since 2009, with international start-up events and competitions taking place at all our events.

Many of our start-ups have secured important investments and acquisition partners following their pitch presentations and participation at what is the largest global gathering of gaming operators in Europe, attended by close to 40,000 visitors over the three days of the event. Hear some of them talk about their successes following Clarion’s start-up initiatives below along with some more videos from 2022 below.

At ICE London 2023, the Pitch ICE hub will offer 12 gaming entrepreneurs the opportunity to showcase their companies, solutions and innovative approaches to visitors and keen industry investors.

The Fundamentals

This is an opportunity like no other at ICE and we want to make sure that those who are given it, have the best chance of success. As such, all selected Pitch participants will meet the following criteria:

More than just a concept. These are companies that are beyond the ‘concept phase’. There must be a demonstrable product and teams should bring a technical as well as a commercial team member to show the company is built on solid technology.
New businesses. Pitch ICE is for new companies and entrepreneurs to gain attention and investment; it is not for established companies to launch new products or even divisions.
Totally committed. The fewer existing commitments you have, and the more you can do to prove you are determined to execute, the better.
Scalable solution. We are looking for entrepreneurs with a unique perspective that are looking to take a scalable business solution to the next level.
English-speaking. While we are looking for solutions and businesses that span the globe, Pitch ICE is an English-speaking event, hence proficiency in the English language is required.
Pitch videos are prepared by all applicants and can be seen below.
