The event will spotlight cutting-edge technologies such as Semi-Automated Offside Technology (SAOT) — an innovative system that promises to revolutionize global refereeing and promote greater fairness on the pitch.
With a focus on tackling match-fixing and strengthening regulatory frameworks, the summit will bring together representatives from international football leagues, government bodies, technology providers, betting operators, and sports data authorities.
Participants will collaborate on adopting innovative tools and leveraging official sports data to promote integrity, combat corruption, and drive the future of Brazil’s newly regulated sports betting market.
As Giovanni Neto, Secretary of Integrity for Sports and Betting at the Ministry of Sports, highlights: “Responsible regulation is essential to uniting sports innovation and integrity in the betting market.”
SAOT will be showcased alongside technical discussions on monitoring with artificial intelligence and data analytics. Attendees will explore how collaboration, innovation, and intelligence can together shape a safer and more transparent sports ecosystem.
The arrival of these international leaders reinforces Brazil’s commitment to positioning itself at the global forefront of sports technology and integrity.
“The Brazil Sports Tech Summit is an important opportunity to discuss the impacts of sports betting regulation in the country — a topic that requires responsibility and dialogue between companies, government, and society. For Esportes da Sorte, participating in this forum goes beyond sponsorship: it means reaffirming our commitment to integrity, transparency, and the sustainable development of the sector,” says Ana Carolina Luna Maçães, Compliance Manager at Esportes Gaming Brasil.
“As a company, we believe that regulation strengthens the market, enhances consumer protection, and opens space for innovation, benefiting not only the industry but the entire Brazilian sports ecosystem,” she adds.
“Taking part in the panel ‘Innovation in Sports Betting’ is a valuable opportunity to show how technology can transform and ensure the security of the online betting sector. At Serasa Experian, we have been investing in solutions such as Valida Bets, which combine innovation, regulatory compliance, bettor experience, and fraud protection — contributing to a safer and more responsible ecosystem,” says Pedro Moreno, Head of Product at Serasa Experian.
