Together, these additions continue to reinforce the increasingly connected, collaborative and forward-looking ecosystem that BASE and DEGI are building, bringing together partners across the full value chain to support sustainable growth in Home Entertainment.
BASE and DEGI Chief Executive, Liz Bales said:
“Welcoming this latest group of members reflects the increasingly interconnected nature of the Home Entertainment sector. From global media services and cloud-based supply chains to premium physical packaging and strategic communications, each organisation brings a distinct perspective that strengthens the overall ecosystem.
What’s particularly exciting is the momentum behind digital and physical formats respectively, and how they are increasingly valued as complementary drivers of audience engagement and revenue to the overall benefit of the full screen value chain. As the landscape evolves, the cross-industry collaboration championed through trade associations such as BASE and DEGI will help drive innovation, maximise value for content, and ensure long-term growth for the sector.”
The announcement comes amidst a busy 2026 programme, including the European DEGI Roadshow across Stockholm, Berlin, London, Paris, Rome and Munich; member insight forums; category reports; a sustainability workshop and the 2026 BASE Awards, taking place at The Londoner in November, with an expanded partner programme and new categories including Best in Class: SteelBook® Release.
