Frankfurt am Main/Hamburg, November 3, 2025 – The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS, Oberhofen am Thunersee, Switzerland) and the photo agency group action press (Hamburg) have entered into a strategic partnership. The agreement covers worldwide photographic coverage of all FIS World Cup races and the Winter Olympics. In the 2025/2026 season alone, this amounts to 345 events at 105 venues in 23 countries.
action press brings two key strengths to the table:

1. an international network of over 5,000 photographers built up over 55 years
2. a global sales network that enables the distribution of images and videos to media, sponsors, and partners.

The FIS is the world governing body for snow sports and oversees the disciplines that account for around 55% of all medals at the Winter Olympics and 80% of all medals at the Winter Paralympics. Since its foundation 100 years ago, FIS has been working with national ski associations – currently 141 – to promote and develop skiing and snowboarding at all levels: from grassroots to elite sport.

Ulli Michel, CEO of action press AG, emphasizes: "In addition to the existing exclusive photo service agreements for Manchester City, Everton FC, and the New Zealand Rugby Union with its flagship All Blacks, we are taking on one of the largest and most comprehensive assignments in the history of our company."

action press AG (Frankfurt am Main) has one of the largest bundled digital image collections in the world. Every day, up to 50,000 photos from 5,000 photographers and 130 partner agencies from 120 countries are processed, tagged, and published according to the highest editorial standards. With more than 200 million images, action press is one of the largest image databases in the world. The share capital of action press AG amounts to €22.05 million. The shares of action press AG are traded on the general open market of the Düsseldorf Stock Exchange under WKN A3ESE3 (ISIN DE000A3ESE35).
