The European streaming technology company Bedrock has opened a new new office in the Portuguese capital Lisbon.
Bedrock was established in early 2020 as a joint venture between M6 Group and RTL Group under the Bertelsmann umbrella. Operating leading streaming services such as 6play, Videoland, RTL+, and RTLplay, the venture extends its influence across France, the Netherlands, Hungary, and Belgium. With its advanced platforms, it engages over 45 million users, ensuring content reaches screens of all kinds seamlessly.
Bedrock’s platform stands as a testament to the company’s expertise,
Commenting on the new office, Jonas Engwall, CEO of Bedrock, said: “Expanding to Lisbon is a pivotal moment for Bedrock, affirming our dedication to innovation and growth in streaming technology.
“With a 15-year legacy and a 400-strong skilled team, our aim is clear: to be Europe’s top platform for leading national media groups. Lisbon’s dynamic tech environment and rich digital resources make it an ideal base for our growth, expanding our global pool of talents. We’re excited to integrate into Lisbon’s thriving tech scene, amplifying our commitment to excellence in streaming technology.”
Bedrock says that the decision to expand into Portugal, particularly Lisbon, was driven by the country’s rich digital industry resources, attractive to both tech and product development professionals. Lisbon’s vibrant culture and tech-friendly environment make it an ideal location for Bedrock’s growth.
In the next two years, Bedrock plans to onboard 50 to 100 professionals in Lisbon, concentrating on critical roles such as software developer Android, software developer iOS, and video back-end developer. These positions are integral to maintaining Bedrock’s technological edge and competitive position in the streaming industry.
Lionel Mottay, deputy CTO and interim head of Portugal at Bedrock, added: “The Lisbon expansion marks a fantastic step for Bedrock. Lisbon’s tech scene offers a superb opportunity to add skilled, energized individuals to our team. Our new office will be a hub for collaborative and creative ideas, strengthening our global streaming services. We look forward to welcoming new talents to join our innovative journey”.
Bedrock has also announced its participation in the WebSummit in Lisbon, from November 13 to 16 with representatives available to interact with interested candidates.
