“This ambition is being deployed thanks to a global strategy relying on the strength of its employees, the diversity of its content, its digital development with the success of the CANAL+ app, and its international footprint with 40 million subscribers in 70 countries between Europe, Africa and Asia. In Europe, CANAL+ operates in 15 territories and heavily invests in the acquisition, production, distribution and restoration of content. Its in-house studio, STUDIOCANAL, a leading film and television studio, operates directly in 9 major European markets (France, the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Poland), with worldwide production and distribution capabilities as well as the largest catalogue of European titles.”
