Welcome to the 2025 edition of the Streaming Media Europe 51, making its much-awaited return after a pause in 2024. This marks the 11th iteration of this list and the second time we’ve streamlined the selection to just 51 standout companies—moving away from the more expansive Europe 101 format of the past to focus on the most innovative, impactful, and forward-thinking technology providers in the streaming ecosystem.
As in previous editions, we’ve concentrated on companies headquartered in the UK or continental Europe, though their influence often spans far beyond regional borders—now more than ever, given the rapidly expanding global reach of European tech. This list complements our Streaming Media 100 published last October on StreamingMedia.com, where we spotlighted North America’s top streaming tech innovators.
You’ll recognise some familiar names, but you’ll also notice significant shifts from earlier editions. The dynamic nature of the industry means that companies rise, fall, merge, or evolve—while fresh disruptors (particularly with the rise of gen AI since 2023) emerge to challenge the status quo. The list reflects that ongoing transformation.
As in past years, we’ve focused exclusively on technology providers, not content producers or streaming services. Our goal is to spotlight the companies building the tools and infrastructure that power online video and help content creators connect with their audiences.
So how do we determine who makes the cut?
We begin with a comprehensive roster of companies in the streaming space, then ask our editorial collective to score each on a scale from 0 (not list-worthy) to 5 (essential to include). The 51 companies with the highest cumulative scores make up this year’s list.
With that, we proudly present the Streaming Media Europe 51: the UK- and Continental Europe-based companies leading, shaping, and redefining online video in 2025.
