The EU conference on music: “Challenges, needs and opportunities of the European music ecosystem” took place on 22 February 2024, in the Charlemagne building of the European Commission, in Brussels.

Iliana Ivanova, European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth opened the event.

The European Commission organised the conference in the context of the ongoing dialogue with the music sector that started in 2023, as part of the Music Moves Europe initiative (MME). After the Covid-19 crisis, the European Commission decided to strengthen the dialogue with the music sector, to help the music sector coordinate and speak with one voice when it comes to EU policy matters.
