Events & inspiration
This work package aims to establish a shared platform for development, collaboration and innovation across the entire music industry in Western Sweden.
Through Music Hub, a meeting place is created where artists, producers, music tech companies, educational actors and cultural institutions from across the region can connect, exchange knowledge and initiate collaborations.
The hub acts as a catalyst for new ideas and business models by pooling resources, networks and expertise into a shared structure. Activities include recurring industry meetups, seminars, showcase events and an annual Music Tech Summit, focusing on new technology, sustainability and the future of music creation.
By building stronger regional clusters and positioning Western Sweden as a node for music innovation, the project strengthens smaller companies' opportunities to grow through collaboration, digitalisation and internationalisation.
The Music Tech Summit is an annual open project conference bringing together artists, producers, music tech companies, academia and cultural actors from across Western Sweden. Its purpose is to create a space for knowledge exchange, innovation-driven development and networking. The programme features panel discussions, roundtable conversations and discussions of tools and initiatives.
The Summit is designed around participants' needs for business development, digitalisation and collaboration. Content creators gain insights into future revenue models and AI, producers and distributors receive new tools for sustainable business development, and music tech companies get a platform to meet users and potential partners.
The activity consists of a series of masterclasses and inspirational talks featuring actors from the music and cultural industries. Content is developed in close connection to the future questions and needs identified in the project's thinktanks.
The events are open to a broad audience of professionals within the music industry in Västra Götaland, with the aim of inspiring around new trends, working methods and international perspectives. The activity is directed at content creators, producers, students, distributors, music tech companies, educational actors and cultural institutions.
