LeoVegas has partnered with Women in Tech to promote gender equality and strengthen its commitment to empowering women in the technology industry.
Becoming a co-creating partner of the Swedish non-profit organisation, the operator will participate in the #WITswe2025 conference and oversee similar co-hosted events.
Mattias Wedar, Chief Product and Technology Officer at LeoVegas Group, commented: “I’m delighted that LeoVegas Group is joining Women in Tech as a Co-Creating Partner.
“We’ve had the organization on our radar for a few years now, and we can’t wait to start collaborating to empower women and attract more of them to our fantastic and growing industry.”
The Women in Tech organisation is an NGO established in 2014 which has been a driving force for gender equality in Sweden’s IT sector.
By joining this network of nearly 40 partners and 25,000 members, LeoVegas Group aims to reinforce its dedication to employing and promoting more women to the tech industry, fostering innovation across the business landscape.
Åsa Johansen, Director at Women in Tech Sweden, added: “We are thrilled to welcome LeoVegas Group as a partner this year. Their commitment to driving gender equality and innovation in tech aligns perfectly with our mission at Women in Tech.
“It is so important that we do this together. We’re excited to collaborate on creating impactful events and opportunities that inspire and empower women to thrive in the industry”.
LeoVegas CEO Gustaf Hagman recently spoke with SBC News about life at the operator after its acquisition by MGM Resorts two-and-a-half years ago.
Since the takeover, the Swedish operator has doubled the size of its workforce and taken on what its co-founder regards as exciting projects, meaning he continues to be enthusiastic about the relationship with the MGM team.
“The trust that they put in our hands to launch BetMGM globally. I mean, that’s massive. And that’s reflected in the number of new employees,” he stated.
While the operator continues to expand its presence across the globe, it has also turned its attention to online casino content production by launching its own in-house studio, LeoVegas Studios.
James Ford, Director of Gaming at LeoVegas Group, commented on the studi launch: “LeoVegas Studios is a fantastic addition to the Group. With enhanced creative freedom and technical control, we are now positioned to forge our own path and develop exclusive, innovative games that align with our vision and meet our players’ evolving needs.”
