SUCCESSFUL EUROPEAN MUSIC PROJECTS ATTRACTNORWAY AND HUNGARY Music Export Bureau Norway and Hungary join European Music Platform
By joining the European Music Platform (EMP), Norway and Hungary gain access to its effective support programmes for the music sector. Norway is the first member to join the EMP outside the EU, with Hungary being the first new Member State to join the Platform.
Membership of these two music export bureau at the outside borders of Europe shows that a general awareness is rising, that European support programmes and cooperation are essential to national music industries.
At present, the Platform comprises 14 members from more than 11 countries and strives to build up a fully-fledged European music support programme.
The European Tour Support programme, which supports European bands that tour more than four European countries and the European Talent Exchange Programme (the European talent showcase for music festivals) are now available to Norwegian and Hungarian bands and music professionals. These programmes effectively support the circulation of artists and their work in Europe. All programmes of the Platform receive financial support from the European Commission (DG EAC).
Jean-François Michel, Secretary General of EMO: “The cooperation in the European music sector is getting much stronger. Out of professionalism, but also out of necessity.
Norway and Hungary have very strong musical backgrounds. Through the support projects of the EMP, Norwegian and Hungarian bands stand an even better chance to become known over the national borders.
The experience of Music Export Norway in export activities and the ambition of the recently founded Music Export Hungary will contribute greatly to the European Music Platform”.
