Breaking barriers at AIBC Pitch: LiveDuel's vision for the future
The AIBC Eurasia Summit witnessed a defining moment for LiveDuel, as Will Martin, Founder & CEO, took the stage and secured the AIBC Pitch Award, reinforcing the company’s strategic vision and its potential for reshaping the entertainment technology sector. Held at Festival Arena, Dubai, on February 24th, the competition saw a panel of distinguished judges Charles Herisson, International Investor at Charles Herisson Ltd; Mona Motwani, Founder & CEO at Ixia Capital; Oliver De Bono, CEO at Quantum; Vinícius Moraes de Carvalho, Investment Partner at Ikigai Ventures; Klen-Kristofer Kaljulaid, Principal at Yolo Investments; and Harmen Brenninkmeijer, Managing Partner at NYCE International assessing the next wave of disruptive businesses.
Martin’s presentation captivated the panel, outlining LiveDuel’s approach to audience engagement and activation. Reflecting on the win, he stated: “It’s great to have an opportunity to pitch, but to come home with the main prize is a major milestone. Receiving recognition from industry experts, including the panel of judges, adds weight to our mission and gives us momentum.”
LiveDuel’s roadmap is now laser-focused on scaling its initiatives, with the 2026 World Cup emerging as a central milestone. “This recognition arrives at a pivotal time 18 months out from the World Cup. It serves as a timely boost as we refine our strategies for global expansion,” Martin explained.
The conversation also explored the depth of the core philosophy driving LiveDuel’s trajectory. Martin’s closing words resonated deeply: “I ended my pitch with ‘Choose to win, choose LiveDuel,’ and I stand by that sentiment. Every challenge presents a choice; you either step forward, or you step back. We choose to keep moving forward.”
