European Music Exporters Exchange

Supporting European music artists, professionals and companies in their export strategies.

EMEE is a non-profit association made up of 29 national and regional Music Export offices from 25 countries, with its registered office based in Brussels. We pull together a mix of public and private funding to support European musicians, music companies and music professionals in their export strategies.

Help provided by music export offices who are part of EMEE includes funding, capacity building and training, business to business advice, international networking, business support programs and much more. Through their work, our members encourage cross border circulation, cultural diversity and economic development for music professionals and the artists they assist, while consulting, initiating and/or implementing music export policies at National, European and Global level.
