On the 5th of February, HEMI partners representatives presented our four-year project in Kino Siska’s Komuna Hall.

With EU’s new cultural policy, which provides a vast amount of resources for the development and professionalization of the music industry, they addressed the question of how the Central and Southeastern (CSEE) Music Markets will react to this new influx of financial means.

A lively discussion about all that HEMI (which is dedicated to the professionalization and internationalization of the regional music industry, and supported by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union) can bring to the table and what the future holds for the music industry in the region, was hosted by Peter Baros from Sigic -Slovenian Music Office  and HEMI partner.

Other HEMI representatives present included Georges Perot, Head of Athens Music Week and HEMI project coordinator (GR), Gorjana Jordanovska (MK) from Password Production, Náray Márton, Director of Sound Czech  (CZ) and Maja Lapuszynska from the Krakowskie Biuro Festiwalowe (PL).

It was a productive few days in a wonderful city and we look forward meeting with our Slovenian partners again!
