Netgem buys BARY AI unit


March 19, 2025: Netgem announces a strategic expansion in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) through its business dedicated to services for film and audiovisual publishers. This initiative marks a further step in Netgem's commitment to providing innovative solutions for the media industry.

Investment in R&D and strategic partnership with Bary To realize this ambition, Netgem is investing in AI specialist Bary. This partnership will give Netgem access to a research and development unit dedicated to AI and having developed market-validated solutions. Netgem is thus strengthening its ability to innovate and bring out new products at an accelerated pace, without changing its associated cost structure.

JUNE 23, 2026 BARY, an Israeli AI company founded in Tel Aviv, was sold to the French media and technology group Netgem, as part of another Israeli exit in the artificial intelligence sector. Netgem, which is traded on the Euronext exchange, said it is acquiring the French-Israeli startup BARY, which developed TheSubtil.ai, an AI-based system for translating, subtitling, and dubbing films and series. Under the deal, Netgem will acquire the company’s technology assets and its research and development unit in Israel.

TheSubtil.ai to form part of Enclair
Following the acquisition, Eclair, part of the Netgem Group and one of the oldest companies in the film services sector, founded in 1907, will fully integrate TheSubtil.ai and make it a central component of its localization activities in France and other international markets.

PLEIO games partnership with Amazon Prime Day sale

Published: 23/06/2026

Netgem Pleio — the first set-top box to bring Freely to any television — has dropped to a record low of £80 in the Prime Day sale .

The first-ever Freely TV box just plummeted to a record low price on Amazon

1. Add Netgem Pleio to your Amazon basket for just £80
2. Or sign-up for a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime

The diddy box lets you stream live free-to-air channels and on-demand boxsets from dozens of broadcasters. French manufacturer Netgem is always adding new channels to the box, as well as games and other apps to enjoy on your flatscreen...
It's a very similar lineup to Freeview or Freesat, but you can ditch your TV aerial in favour of a Wi-Fi connection to watch anywhere in your home. Swapping the aerial for streaming also unlocks some Sky Glass-like tricks that aren't possible with Freeview.

Netgem PLEIO @ Easter Streaming Deals - new extra saving (£89.10)!

"There’s also a potential extra saving: Netgem says that customers who have previously searched for the Pleio on Amazon will trigger an exclusive voucher for an additional 10% off, bringing the price down to £89.10."

"I managed to see this on Amazon and redeem the code, though it’s hard to say exactly when it appears or doesn’t. The Pleio also includes a year’s free access to Pleio Extra, which adds cloud gaming with 250+ games and a bundled wireless gamepad, plus extra streaming channels. After the first year, Pleio Extra costs £9.99/month – though Freely itself remains completely free. How does it compare to its rivals in the Freely market? The Manhattan Aero undercuts it at £69.99, but lacks the Google Play Store, so you won’t find NOW or Apple TV on it. The Humax Aura EZ goes the other way at £249, adding the ability to record from an aerial alongside Freely – but for now, it has quite a few bugs and issues. The Pleio sits in the middle – more capable than the Aero, considerably cheaper than the Aura EZ. You can read my full Pleio review here. If you’re interested in Freely – particularly if you have poor Freeview reception and don’t want to pay for a Sky or Virgin Media subscription – the Pleio at £99 (or £89.10 with the voucher, if it shows up for you) is worth a look.

"Pleio Freely Puck
On top of Freely, it runs Android TV, so you get access to the full Google Play Store, including Netflix, Disney+, NOW, Discovery+, and – worth mentioning given it only launched in the UK last week – HBO Max, which is already available on the Pleio. The Easter deal brings it back to £99 – its original launch price – down from its regular £109.89. That said, we’ve seen it drop to £99 several times in the past couple of months, particularly since the Manhattan Aero arrived as a rival at £69.99. There’s also a potential extra saving: Netgem says that customers who have previously searched for the Pleio on Amazon will trigger an exclusive voucher for an additional 10% off, bringing the price down to £89.10."

NEW: PLEIO TV across Bouygues Telecom’s millions TV customers

(2026-03-11) "Netgem deploys PLEIO TV across Bouygues Telecom’s millions TV customers, offering a completely managed solution for FAST channels
Netgem announces an enhanced Content service collaboration with Bouygues Telecom."

Today, thanks to this strengthened partnership (which adds live streaming, VOD, and FAST streaming to cloud gaming), we have confirmation of the service's success, already available at the following address:
https://www.bouyguestelecom.fr/option-mobile/pleio
(Bouygues Telecom partnered with Gamestream to launch Pleio, a subscription-based cloud gaming service, on December 1, 2020, designed to promote 5G adoption. It offers over 200 unlimited, console-quality games for €9.99/month on Android, iOS, PC, and Bbox, aimed at families and casual gamers without requiring extra hardware.)
"With this new agreement, Netgem extends the distribution of Pleio TV and its FAST channel offering in France to millions of Bouygues Telecom TV customers. Bouygues Telecom subscribers thus benefit from a significantly enhanced entertainment experience. An initial curated selection of 20 new channels is available from launch and will continue to grow, with varied themes targeting the whole family: “GenZ” (ADN, Eclutch), music lovers (Qwest), epicureans (TV5 Monde+ Chefs) or Novelas aficionados (Passion Novelas, Passion Bollywood, Fréquence Novelas).
Bouygues Telecom has selected Netgem for the quality of the content but also for the ‘Turnkey’ aspect of the solution: indeed, Netgem has developed a complete technical ecosystem (SSAI, CDN, Ad-servers, multi-Ad Sales house), guaranteeing quality of streaming distribution, as well as the most effective advertising monetisation, building on the model successfully deployed in the United Kingdom since 2020, and now available in all territories."

Source: https://www.netgem.com/sites/default/files/netgem/fichiers/news/CP%20Lancement%20Bouygues%20FAST_UK_0.pdf

"Clients TV / Fixe Bouygues Telecom: ≈ 5,4 millions de clients fixes fin 2025. La grande majorité de ces abonnés utilisent la fibre (≈ 4,7 millions FTTH)."
(En pratique, cela signifie que le nombre de clients pouvant utiliser la TV Bouygues (via Bbox ou l’app B.tv) est autour de 5,4 millions, même si tous ne prennent pas forcément l’option TV.
Pour situer l’échelle =>
Clients mobile : ≈ 27 millions.
Clients fixe (Internet + souvent TV) : ≈ 5,4 millions.
Donc on estime que Bouygues Telecom a environ 5 millions de clients TV potentiels en France.)
