Boosting music industry exports to Japan through cross-sectoral collaboration

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A Finland - Estonia - Latvia - Sweden (Central Baltic)

Description

Description (EN):

Music industry is internationally one of the most potential sub-sectors of experience economy in Finland and Estonia. Japan is a highly promising target market for Nordic-Baltic culture and music. Much of the music industry export potential, however, remains untapped, and there has recently been a downturn in music industry sales. Finland and Estonia are small countries with limited capacity, resources and public financial support for music export. Therefore, there is a strong need for new kind of innovation and export support instruments and related cross-border clustering and joint sales efforts to maintain and increase music industry export to Japan. The project approach is based on cross-sectoral co-creation and cooperation between music sector and other business sectors such as design, gaming, film and high-tech. The FINEEX Music project facilitates the joint development of cross-sectoral services and products and opening of new export opportunities in Japan for Finnish and Estonian music industry companies and for other sectors for which export cooperation with music industry can bring added value. The project utilizes well-known annual music industry networking events (Music & Media Finland and Tallinn Music Week) as matchmaking and showcase platforms as well as new business-university co-creation combining companies, music experts and students. A music export accelerator programme including co-creation of new marketing concepts, design of demos and organisation of sales trips to Japan will be developed and piloted to facilitate cross-sectoral value chains between music industry and companies from other sectors, and to boost their sales in Japan. The project will involve 45 Finnish and Estonian music companies and artists as well as 20 other companies. The project will increase the sales of 10 Finnish and Estonian music companies in Japan.

Expected Results (EN): R1.3. Number of cluster co-operations exporting to new markets

Expected Outputs (EN):

The project will increase sales and new export contracts of 10 Finnish and Estonian music industry companies in Japan. Furthermore the project will result in new partnerships between the Finnish and Estonian music clusters, networking events and educational institutions ensuring the further joint activities and sustainability of the project results.
