About us
We are the Norwegian music industry’s export facilitator and promotional organization
Music Norway’s mission is to facilitate Norwegian music export by increasing the interest and use of Norwegian music of all genres internationally. Addressing the needs of the music industry, artists, ensembles and organizations, Music Norway offers competence building, networking arenas and counseling. The organization develops programs that are adapted to a digital and global music industry, based on data retrieval, analysis and music export statistics.
We assist Norwegian festivals in putting together delegate programs and invite key press and the music industry professionals from abroad to join showcase and conference festivals like by:Larm, Øya Festival and Ultima. Read more about some of our projects here.
Our relation to the Norwegian government

The Ministry of Culture is responsible for Music Norway's operational funding, and Music Norway manages the grant schemes on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Music Norway works directly with Norwegian diplomatic missions abroad.
