Simply.TV has joined Deutsche TV-Plattform (DTVP), one of the leading industry associations bringing together organisations across the television and streaming ecosystem in the DACH region.
"We are pleased to welcome Simply.TV as a new member of Deutsche TV-Plattform. Their expertise will be a valuable addition to our industry network," said Nicole Ludwig, Managing Director of Deutsche TV-Plattform.
"The DACH market is undergoing a significant transformation," said Daniel Rühmann, CXO and Co-Founder of Simply.TV. "Streaming, artificial intelligence, and changing viewing habits are reshaping the entire content discovery value chain. Deutsche TV-Plattform brings together exactly the stakeholders who can jointly shape this transformation. We look forward to contributing our experience and expertise to this work."
As streaming continues to gain importance, the role of high-quality metadata is becoming increasingly critical. Accurate EPG data, contextual keywords, and precise programme markers help audiences discover and engage with content across an expanding range of services and platforms. At the same time, advances in artificial intelligence are creating new opportunities throughout the television and streaming industry.
By joining Deutsche TV-Plattform, Simply.TV becomes part of a collaborative network of broadcasters, technology providers, platform operators, device manufacturers, research institutions, and public authorities working together to advance digital television and streaming through open standards and industry cooperation.
Following Deutsche TV-Plattform's General Assembly on 24 June 2026, where Simply.TV will be formally introduced as a new member, the association will host MEDIA INNOVATION PLATFORM #7 (MIP) in Berlin on 25 June 2026. This year's event focuses on the theme "AI as a Game Changer: Efficiency & Value Creation in TV & Streaming."
