Europe’s music strength lies in its diverse local scenes, from small cities to dynamic regions, yet these ecosystems remain unevenly connected and somehow difficult to scale. This panel explores how municipalities, regions, and European networks can work together to boost talent development, strengthen infrastructure, improve artist mobility, and build cross-border cooperation.

The speakers will explore the policies, partnerships, and models needed to empower local music ecosystems and contribute to a more resilient, innovative, and interconnected European music landscape.
