The platform

What is Music Hub West?

Music Hub West is for anyone working with music in Western Sweden. Artists, producers, creatives, event organisers and tech companies. We don't build things for you, we build them with you.

The headline event is the Music Tech Summit, one of the region's most talked-about events where music and tech collide for real. The first edition takes place on Tuesday 24 November 2026 at Pustervik and Skeppet GBG. The rest of the year you'll find masterclasses, think tanks and workshops where you don't just show up — you help shape what happens.

We believe the music industry is stronger when more voices are heard. That's why we actively work for gender equality, inclusion and diversity, and strive to create spaces where everyone feels welcome. Regardless of background, experience or where you are in your career.

"Music doesn't happen in a vacuum. The best things happen when the right people meet in the right place."
