Topic info: Despite being close and connected, there is still a gap in trade and talent discovery. Now is the time to change this and foster greater collaboration within the region. Music is global, and more international success stories are emerging from the Mediterranean. We need to bring professionals together to discuss the current state, future plans, and form teams focused on improving PR, talent development, and business opportunities. Europe is a melting pot, and the industry and institutions must promote Mediterranean talent and genre crossovers to stand out on the global stage.
