Titan OS raises $46 million to expand smart TV OS
Titan OS, a Barcelona-based technology, entertainment, and advertising company, has raised €40 million ($46 million) in a financing round to further develop its smart TV operating system. The round included existing investors Highland Europe and Mangrove Capital Partners, as well as a credit facility from funds managed by BlackRock. This follows a €50 million Series A in December 2025, bringing total funding to €97 million ($110 million). Founded in 2023 by Jacinto Roca and co-founders, Titan OS offers an independent Linux-based smart TV OS that competes with platforms like Android TV and Roku, providing customizable software and a revenue-sharing advertising model. It now serves 30 million users, up from 18 million last year, and has added partners including Sharp, AOC, Vestel, Skyworth, and Philips, which adopted Titan OS for its 2026 TV models. Revenues have scaled 15 times since launch. The company will use the funds to expand OEM partnerships, enhance content discovery through AI, and open a new London office focused on advertising.
Titan OS is gaining traction as a meaningful third-party smart TV OS, challenging walled gardens like Google TV and expanding its FAST/CTV advertising footprint. The funding signals investor confidence and could impact the CTV and programmatic advertising landscape.

Titan OS, MediaTek partner to embed Titan Channels
Titan Operating System S.L. (Titan OS) announced a strategic partnership with MediaTek Inc. to embed Titan Channels across MediaTek-powered TV platforms. Announced at the Annual Advertising Summit alongside Cannes Lions on June 25, 2026, the integration will allow OEMs using MediaTek platforms to activate Titan Channels as a standalone app, place it in the favourite apps row, and provide access via a dedicated remote-control button. The move is intended to accelerate distribution of free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) content across a fragmented European TV market, expand Titan Channels’ reach to millions of devices annually, and support monetisation for manufacturers, content partners and advertisers. The article includes quotes from Jacinto Roca (Titan OS) and Cody Huang (MediaTek) and notes Titan OS showcased a programmatic Homepage Spotlight advertising solution as part of its Cannes presentation.
OS Data Powers Europe's CTV Advertising Shift
Titan OS is leveraging operating-system–level telemetry from smart TVs to reshape connected-TV (CTV) advertising across Europe, arguing that real-time OS data improves targeting, frequency control and campaign performance beyond panel-based methods. Joe Evea, SVP Advertising and Retail Media EMEA at Titan OS, says the OS sits at the household screen and can combine broadcast, apps, FAST channels and gaming signals to create user-specific profiles, enable interactive shoppable ad formats and support retail-media use cases with partners like Currys. The company is expanding content offerings (including news channels) to deepen its data advantage. Evea notes European GDPR constraints make privacy-first architectures and trusted data partners — e.g., clean rooms — essential for scaling these capabilities.
Omdia Forecasts Google TV Market Share Drop in Europe
Omdia research forecasts that independent TV operating systems — notably VIDAA, Titan OS and TiVo — will gain share in the European connected-TV (CTV) OS market, rising to 28% by 2030 (from 21% in 2025). Over the same period Google TV’s share is projected to fall to 26% in 2030 from 32% in 2025. Omdia attributes the shift to TV manufacturers prioritising advertising and data revenue — via home‑screen ads, FAST channels and revenue‑sharing models — as hardware margins tighten. The report also notes technical advantages (leaner Linux‑based architectures) and greater manufacturer control of UX and viewer data as drivers. Titan and TiVo have formed a strategic monetisation partnership in Europe to combine ad reach and make revenue-sharing models more attractive to TV brands.
