Mission & Goals
Strengthen the European music export capacity by supporting national and regional Music Export Offices to better serve artists, professionals and companies in building sustainable international careers. Foster cultural diversity and mobility across Europe and beyond, ensuring equal access to global opportunities regardless of market size. Facilitate knowledge creation through research, market profiles, best practice sharing, capacity-building forums and a central resource hub. Implement strategic cooperation initiatives such as networking missions, international prospecting tours and long-term partnerships (“EMEE Bridges”) to open new markets and connect European talent worldwide. Advocate for fairer, greener and more inclusive ecosystems by promoting sustainable export practices, gender balance and diversity, while aligning with EU cultural and creative industries strategies. Provide evidence-based insights through research reports, measurement frameworks and advocacy tools
EU Legislative Interests
Our work is closely aligned with EU policies in the field of culture, with a specific focus on the music sector. We address European initiatives on cultural diversity, mobility and sustainability, while targeting policies related to music sector funding, the establishment of a European Music Observatory, and the development of music export strategies. In practice, this means working on issues related to funding opportunities for music professionals, the monitoring and observation of European music markets, and the design and implementation of sustainable music export policies at both European and national levels
Communication Activities
We have established and developed the European Music Resource Centre as a central hub for knowledge, tools, and insights to support music export across Europe. The platform gathers and publishes market profiles, international market studies, toolkits, and guidelines, providing valuable resources for artists, music professionals, and companies to design and implement their international strategies. As EMEE, we have actively contributed to the development of the European Music Export Strategy study published by the European Commission, and we continued this work through the EMX project, which piloted concrete actions such as trade missions, capacity-building programmes, and the first version of the Resource Centre. Through its publications, campaigns, and dissemination activities, the Resource Centre contributes to raising awareness, informing policy discussions, and strengthening the visibility of European music export development within the wider cultural and creative industries agenda.
