Disse er med på digitalt Trade Mission Berlin
2. og 3. september setter Music Norway opp et virtuelt trade mission til Tyskland, med fokus på elektronika.
Skrevet av Kristiane Lunde,
Tyskland er ett av de viktigste eksportmarkedene for norsk musikkbransje. En rekke norske aktører har opplevd betydelig kunstnerisk og kommersiell suksess i Tyskland de siste 10-årene. Tyskland er det fjerde største markedet for innspilt musikk globalt og har et sterkt livemarked (IFPI).
Denne to-dagers workshopen vil ta for seg den nåværende statusen til det internasjonale musikk- og mediemarkedet, samt se på effekten av pandemien på det tyske markedet. Du vil få en oversikt over de nye Web3-teknologiene og de nye strategiene og mulighetene disse tilbyr musikkbransjen. Trade Mission Berlin er satt sammen i samarbeid med vår markedsveileder Michail Stangl.
Fra Norge skal 11 engasjerte bransjeaktører, artister og produsenter være med på workshopen og få med seg verdifull kunnskap. Disse 11 er Darkowa, Magni Sørløkk (Playground Music Scandinavia), Niilas, Kim Dürbeck, Soldal, Bendik Baksaas, Linda Melsom, Andrew Murray (Luft Recordings), Vidar Hanssen (Beatservice), Tore Gjedrem (Sex Judas, Ost&Kjex) og Henning Karwowski (Monument).
