Samba Digital is an innovative technological company, born with the ambition to be the preferred global solution for the internationalization of sport and eGaming brands. We have been growing rapidly and we see the listing on Euronext Lisbon, which gives us access to the European market, as an opportunity to accelerate the achievement of this objective.
