Redefining the Music Industry: a New Ecosystem of Connectivity

Think less traditional value chain, more music ecosystem!

What if we considered the music sector as an interconnected ecosystem?

This question sparked two years of research for the MME Music Dialogue project, commissioned by the European Commission. What began as a conceptual framework has evolved into a powerful lens for understanding the complexities of Europe’s music sector today and envisioning its potential for tomorrow.

Join us at ESNS (Oosterpoort – Kunstpunt) on January 17, from 10:30 to 11:30, to explore the findings of this groundbreaking research. Together, we’ll unpack the intricate web of actors, environments, and interactions that define the music ecosystem from artists and algorithms to policymakers and audiences.

In a time of rapid change, marked by challenges like platformisation and evolving consumer habits, the research emphasizes the urgent need for collaboration, adaptability, and innovation while highlighting Europe’s unique strengths – its co-organized networks and capacity for cross-sector collaboration – that stand apart from the investor-driven models dominating North America and Asia. 

Don’t miss this panel presented by EEMC, ESNS, Linecheck, MaMA Music & Convention, Reeperbahn, Tallinn Music Week and co-hosted by Federation of Music Conferences if you’re interested in shaping a sustainable and impactful music sector that benefits its core players and creates lasting cultural and social contributions.Find ESNS info & tickets here
