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."
