«Big data, blockchain and AI, digital platforms and social media — technological progress is driving the music industry to constantly reinvent itself.

Up to four new companies will be funded through a compact, three–month programme and work with the support of experts and mentors from Hamburg’s music industry to develop their business ideas.
