Continent 8 Technologies will be sending a delegation to the Monaco iGaming Exchanges, which is being held October 11-13.

The show, which is new to the egaming calendar, is an international show but with a special focus on the French market. In April this year, Continent 8 announced a partnership with Telehouse in France to provide hosting services to the online gaming community wishing to operate in France. Since this announcement a number of existing and new customers have installed gaming infrastructure in this data centre in order to be compliant with the strict French regulations.

Nick Nally, chief development officer of Continent 8, commented: "Business has been very busy with operators wanting to have access to the lucrative French market, many of these will be at the show in Monaco. We are also expecting to meet with many of the incumbent French gaming companies from both the online and land-based sectors."

Richard Ebbutt, head of marketing at Continent 8, said: "This is a new exhibition in what is a very important and growing market for Continent 8. We are seeing a trend where many customers need to be hosted in multiple data centres with a distributed geographical footprint in order to target their key markets and comply with local licensing requirements. Where possible they prefer to do so under a single commercial model."
