Sponsorships

Over the years, Sega has sponsored many events and services in order to further market its brand or products. Typically, companies such as Sega would invest money in a sponsee, allowing them to fund their activities, in exchange for a prominent display of the brand or products Sega were trying to advertise.

The following lists instances where this has occurred. Not included are cases where Sega has helped established a venture (such as GameWorks or SegaWorld London), only to withdraw their name later on.
