To achieve better reach and user engagement, Swintt and NetBet joined forces in an attempt to conquer the Maltese market. The main goal of this collaboration is for Swintt to reach more Maltese bettors and establish recognition for their high-quality games.

On the other hand, NetBet will benefit by being able to offer a wider range of games to their players. With this, the collaboration will have Swintt games added to the NetBet platform. This will allow players in Malta to enjoy a huge range of slots and casino games.

Swintt is a leading game developer that offers premium, unique, and modern casino titles. On the other hand, NetBet is a popular online casino where Maltese players can enjoy endless gaming and tons of winning opportunities.

Some of the popular titles from Swintt’s arsenal players can enjoy are Aloha Spirit XtraLock, The Crown, Master of Books Unlimited, and Seven Books Unlimited. Players can also expect more games such as the Mines casino game, slots, and table games on the NetBet platform.

 
Why the Maltese market

The Maltese gaming sector is an attractive destination. This is due to the favourable regulatory and tax climate in the country. Malta has also developed into a centre for online betting activities. As a result, several of the top companies opted to establish a presence there.

According to Swintt CEO David Flynn, the collaboration with NetBet is a significant milestone for the company. ‘We are thrilled to partner with NetBet, who have a strong reputation in the Maltese gaming market. This partnership is an important step for Swintt as we continue to expand our reach in the market’.

The agreement between NetBet and Swintt is part of both parties’ larger effort to broaden their product line and provide gamers with more gaming possibilities. With an emphasis on online casino betting, the company has been extending its position in the Maltese sector lately.

A spokesperson from NetBet mentions that their collaboration with Swintt will further strengthen their position in the Maltese market. They believe that the addition of Swintt’s to their platform will benefit the players as well. NetBet looks forward to a long and successful partnership.

 
Long term success

The collaboration between Swintt and NetBet is the most recent instance of gaming operators and providers working together. This is with the aim to broaden their reach in the ever-changing gaming sector. Collabs are expected to become increasingly important as more nations embrace gaming-friendly legislative frameworks to give gamers the greatest possible gaming experience.

The partnership between Swintt and NetBet benefits both parties as well as the Maltese gambling industry. With this collaboration, they are in a better position to capitalise on the rising demand for online gaming services in Malta by combining their resources and experience. They can also offer gamers a wider variety of games such as the Mines casino game and betting opportunities. With this, more bettors are enthusiastic in placing their bets and hope to take home huge wins.

A stellar roster of global leaders in science diplomacy—including executives from NASA and INTERPOL— are set to convene this September under the leadership of a Filipino scientist. Internationally acclaimed Filipino Science Diplomat Glenn Banaguas was designated as Chairman of the 6th Asian Science Diplomats Assembly (SDA) to be held from September 18 to 22 at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel in Manila. He will be helming an esteemed board that includes members from the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), and various esteemed international government agencies and institutions.

With over 100 science diplomats in the Asian region alone, the annual SDA plays a pivotal role in furthering the integration of science and diplomacy across the region’s diverse countries and cultures as well as its strategic capacities, policy goals, and the development of elucidations for societal challenges – food security, sustainable energy, water sufficiency, human security, health security, biodiversity, marine, cybersecurity, infrastructure, transportation, waste, climate change, disaster risks, conflicts, violent extremisms, and terrorism.

The specific objectives of the SDA include raising awareness of science diplomacy among the science and diplomatic communities, identifying gaps and challenges in the science diplomacy sphere, and providing strategic solutions for global influence at the intersection of science, technology, innovation, peace, security, and diplomacy, and capacitating science diplomats in the use of tools and participatory mechanisms to shape policy.

“It is significant to effectively communicate our scientific work to all types of stakeholders. We do not want our science to be siloed,” Banaguas said.

“No matter how technical our work is, we want to make sure that our science will truly create positive impacts and changes in society. It is our commitment to use science for service,” Banaguas added.

Sci. Dpl. Banaguas is no stranger to the international scene. A Distinguished Fellow of the UK-based Royal Society for the Arts, he is one of Asia’s leading experts in environment, climate change, and disaster risk. He is the Chairman of the ASEAN Science Diplomats and the US-ASEAN Fellows for Science and Technology, and the Climate Diplomat of the EU-Asia Expert Panel for Climate Diplomacy and Environmental Security. He was also Lee Kuan Yew Senior Fellow in Public Service and an Executive Fellow of the Geneva Centre for Security Policy in Switzerland.

The Grand AdClash: Culminating Excellence, Fostering Industry-Ready Candidates

Wazzup Pilipinas!?



Over three decades, the Grand AdClash has reinvented itself and consistently evolved to serve a greater purpose. From being a humble classroom activity initiated in 1991 to one of the biggest legacies of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines - Department of Advertising and Public Relations (PUP-DAPR) today, the annual commencement of such a prestigious case competition marks the beginning of the students’ career journey to becoming competent candidates and valuable assets in the industry. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic in the previous years, the Grand AdClash has persevered, seamlessly getting bigger and bolder with each passing year.

The essence of Grand AdClash extends beyond determining who among the competing teams is the brightest. The Grand AdClash drives the students to unleash their full creative and strategic potentials, bolstering the department’s vision to produce outstanding graduates like Jonathan Manalo, a multi award-winning songwriter, composer, arranger, and record producer; Sofia Tawasil, a multi-award-winning copywriter; and Marcelo Santos, a well-known author and brand ambassador—to name a few of PUP-DAPR’s products.

Moreover, the esteemed event serves as the turning point for the aspiring professionals to prove they are industry-ready, by putting their brilliance and capabilities to the test. The implementation of Grand AdClash also allows the graduating students to gain exposure; and make valuable impressions and connections to help them kick start their careers.

On July 19, 2023, SM City Manila will be the vibrant host of the 31st edition of the Grand AdClash, as it welcomes the much-anticipated clash of brilliance on-site. This marks yet another year of celebrating the excellence of senior year students from PUP's Bachelor in Advertising and Public Relations (BAPR), while highlighting the transformative power of technology in revolutionizing modern lifestyles, the central theme of this edition.

The success of the Grand AdClash rests upon the unwavering commitment of participants, the enthusiastic efforts of organizers, and the steadfast support of sponsors and partners. The event continues to pave the way for a new generation of PUP-DAPR pride, as the 31st Grand AdClash stands ready to ignite the passion and expertise of future ADPR practitioners.
