Showcase Festivals
We at Initiative Musik use our export programmes and projects to promote both musicians and music companies in distributing their repertoire abroad. Since 2010, this has included the flagship project GERMANY AT SXSW, the German joint presentation of the cultural and creative industries at the world's largest showcase festival, South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas. We are also involved in international networks such as European Talent Exchange and European Music Exporters Exchange (EMEE) and participate in other internationally relevant conferences and showcase festivals with activities and programmes.
Here you can find more information about our current showcase cooperations:
