Qvest, Ateme and Scaleway have joined forces to provide broadcasters, media organisations and sports rights holders with production-ready sovereign OTT platforms built entirely on European technology. The joint solution combines Scaleway’s sovereign cloud infrastructure, Ateme’s video solutions, and Qvest’s expertise in consultancy, systems integration and managed services. Together, the partners provide sovereign cloud infrastructure, best-in-class media technology and end-to-end integration within a mature solution for media organisations seeking greater control over their OTT platforms, data and long-term technology strategies. As broadcasters across Europe face increasing regulatory requirements and strategic pressure to reduce their dependence on non-European cloud providers, the partnership between Qvest, Ateme and Scaleway provides a ready-to-implement solution that is available now. The joint offering combines every component required to build and operate a sovereign OTT platform, from ingest, encoding and packaging to content delivery, digital rights management, analytics and front-end integration. Broadcasters can use the solution to launch new streaming services, migrate existing environments or engage Qvest as a managed services partner. Each partner contributes a distinct area of expertise:Scaleway provides sovereign European cloud infrastructure. Ateme provides live encoding, packaging, origin, content delivery network and server-side ad insertion technologies. Qvest designs the architecture, integrates third-party ecosystem components such as digital rights management, players and analytics, and can operate the platform as a managed service. The collaboration aligns with the European Union’s Cloud Sovereignty Framework and its SEAL sovereignty model, which are becoming the reference framework for assessing sovereignty in public procurement. Rather than making absolute sovereignty claims, Qvest designs each platform to meet the specific requirements of the relevant tender, helping customers achieve the highest practical level of technical sovereignty. The collaboration brings together complementary expertise across cloud infrastructure, media technology and systems integration. “The growing awareness and demand around digital sovereignty have moved beyond strategy,” said Tobias Künkel, Managing Director at Qvest Engage, a subsidiary of Qvest Group. “Broadcasters now need solutions that can be implemented. Together with Ateme and Scaleway, we are bringing production-ready sovereign OTT platforms to broadcasters that combine operational maturity with European sovereignty. ”“Digital sovereignty is becoming a strategic priority for broadcasters across Europe,” said Rémi Beaudouin, Chief Strategy Officer at Ateme. “The combination of Ateme’s proven video technology, Scaleway’s European cloud infrastructure and Qvest’s integration expertise gives media organisations a practical path to modernise their OTT platforms while maintaining greater control over their infrastructure, operations and data. ”“Europe has all the capabilities required to support the next generation of streaming services. The real challenge is bringing them together in a way that broadcasters can adopt with confidence,” said Damien Lucas, CEO of Scaleway. “This OTT platform turns strategic autonomy into a practical choice by combining proven European cloud and streaming technologies within a complete operational environment. It gives media organisations greater control over their infrastructure and long-term technology decisions. ”Together, Qvest, Ateme and Scaleway provide broadcasters with a practical path to launch new streaming services, migrate existing OTT platforms away from non-European hyperscalers or use the complete solution as a managed service operated by Qvest. Visitors to IBC Show 2026, taking place from 11–14 September in Amsterdam, will be able to experience the joint solution through live demonstrations showcasing the complete OTT workflow running on sovereign European infrastructure.
