TV-streaming provider Zattoo has announced the acquisition of Green Streams. With this strategic move, Zattoo expands its B2B product portfolio and lays the groundwork for entry into new international markets.

Founded in 2021, Green Streams has established its modular, cloud-native Media Integration Platform (MIP) among telecommunications and pay-TV operators in select markets. The platform offers an efficient solution for TV- and streaming services, optimised to combine existing in-network components with ‘best-of-breed’ third-party modules. This means that for every core technology layer, the most powerful specialised option can be selected and seamlessly integrated into the overall system.

With this acquisition, Zattoo says it “creates the foundation to build an operator-centric TV platform for Europe—modular, cloud-native and designed for global deployment. Full integration of Green Streams technology will allow Zattoo to mix in-house and third-party components to deliver tailor-made TV and streaming offerings, setting new standards of modularity and efficiency compared with existing platforms. The deal also opens access to additional market segments and customer groups”.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

Green Streams founders Gernot Jaeger and Ivo Stock – both former Zattoo executives – will continue to lead the ongoing integration from within the Zattoo team.

Roger Elsener, CEO of Zattoo, commented: “The acquisition of Green Streams is a milestone for Zattoo. It adds highly flexible, modular solutions perfectly tailored to network operators and international partners. This move not only cements our leadership in Europe but also unlocks global growth opportunities in a rapidly expanding market. It accelerates our technological progress and delivers solutions that set new benchmarks for efficiency and scalability.”

Jaeger added: “This is a significant moment for Green Streams. Together with our committed investors, we set out to equip operators with agile, modular and powerful tools for success in TV and entertainment. We’re delighted that our technology will enhance Zattoo’s strong portfolio. Together we can shape the next generation of TV and streaming platforms and set new standards across the industry.”
