Summary

IMPF will promote international trade missions and visits for its members – independent music publishers.

Objectives

• The project management work package is linked to the main objective of enhancing the capacity of European publishers to face common challenges and nurture talent, innovate, prosper and generate jobs and growth in the context of their international export activities
• Research component aims at establishing the economic value of the European music publishing sector, in particular with regards to export

Activity

IMPF aims to have publishers participate in international missions, with the objective of acquiring market knowledge and business opportunities both in new sub-publishing or publishing administration deals, but also in synch licensing – procuring new avenues for licensing European music into film, TV, advertising and gaming productions. In the event that some international IMPF missions are realized in collaboration with EMEE, we also envisage online training sessions to participating export offices.  Through this action, IMPF anticipates four webinars, one per year, aimed simultaneously at the export communities as well as the less-developed publishing markets in more peripheral territories that can participate online.

Who we will work with

Collaborations will be pursued with EMEE – European Music Exporters Exchange and MPC – Music Publishers Canada.

Outcomes/Next Steps

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