This year for the first time MW:M is running a pilot project in cooperation with one of the leading music business and showcase festivals in central and eastern Europe, MENT in Ljubljana, Slovenia and the Balkan wide initiative New Faces. Dogaja project (Empowering Local Music Markets X Balkan) aims to enhance music business conferences by fostering international exchange between music industry professionals (not artists) through human-centered design principles. Participants with diverse backgrounds, coming from the Balkans and Berlin through the Most Wanted: Music ecosystem, will collaborate to develop projects addressing sustainability and diversity with business development.

Want to join our project? We are on the hunt for two more Berlin-based participants connected to the creative and music scenes. Get the details here and apply now! The deadline is July 10th.
