With Finland’s iGaming re-regulation now firmly on the horizon, Gaming in Europe (Gaming in Holland, Gaming in Spain, Gaming in Germany) will be launching its latest initiative, Gaming in Finland, at ICE Barcelona 2026.
Gaming in Finland will kick off with an evening conference in Barcelona on January 19, 2026, from 18:00 until 22:00.
The event, which is being organized in close collaboration with local stakeholders, will feature networking, tapas and drinks, as well as several highly relevant sessions outlining the opportunities and challenges offered by Finland’s soon-to-be regulated iGaming market.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Pekka Ilmivalta, Head of Finnish Office, Nordic Legal
- Morten Ronde, Founding Partner, Nordic Legal
- Jari Vähänen, Founding Partner, The Finnish Gambling Consultants
- Mika Kuismanen, CEO, The Finnish Trade Association for Online Gambling
- Josh Hodgson, COO, H2 Gambling Capital
- Niklas Bondestam, CEO, Ubetec
- Jessica Maier, Co-Founder, EGARA
- Paul Foster, CEO, Crucial Compliance
Morten Ronde, Founding Partner at Nordic Legal commented: “Finland’s move to open its gambling market in 2027 creates a rare opportunity for operators and suppliers to enter a newly regulated European market from day one. Our Barcelona event during ICE will combine expert insight on the Finnish framework with high-quality networking for those looking to establish an early presence.”
Gaming in Europe founder Willem van Oort added: “After a long wait, Finland will finally re-regulate its iGaming market in 2026. Looking at other Nordic markets, it is a safe bet that local demand for regulated gambling will be significant. Naturally, operator interest in this market is large. Together with local stakeholders, we hope to provide interested parties with the knowledge and connections to help make their eventual market entry a success.”
