Summary

The aim is to create a space in Brussels for those other networks that do not have permanent representation. We would invite Associations, NGO’s and EU Projects to the Music House.

Objectives

• Promote the rights of music users and rightsholders in the European Union and beyond
• Advocate for favourable legislation and policies that support a fair and sustainable global music ecosystem
• Enhance collaboration and coordination among music rightsholders to address common challenges and maximize opportunities, particularly in the field of emerging technology
• Educate policymakers and industry stakeholders about the value and importance of music rights
• Create a music trade bodies coalition to have a dedicated representation in Brussels to actively engage with EU institutions and participate in policy discussions related to copyright protection, enforcement, and intellectual property rights. This presence will ensure that the concerns and needs of our European industry are effectively conveyed, and that we have a voice in shaping future legislation and regulations

Activity

The next BMH event is scheduled for February 26 in Brussels.  Details to follow.

Who we will work

EU institutions: EACEA, DG EAC, EU Council Presidency and former MEPs.
Sector organisations: IMPF, ECSA, IMPALA, EMEE, GESAC, AEPO-ARTIS, CNM, IAO, MusicTech Europe, CISAC, IFPI, LiveEurope, EMC, and national collecting societies. 

Beneficiaries

Outcomes/Next Steps

A summary will be available at the end of the year.

Activity

Brussels Music House was officially launched on 26 July 2026 with 45 participants in attendance.

There was representation from across Europe, covering creators, publishers, labels, performers, live venues, technology partners, and policymakers.

The strong turnout and enthusiastic feedback at the launch demonstrated that stakeholders are interested in a neutral, collaborative space which the BMH provides.
