Governments Supporting Music
12:10 to 13:00 - Cinema One
What role can government support play in supporting the independent and wider recorded music sector? This panel explores international models of government funding and tax breaks, drawing lessons from other European countries. With insights from international policy makers and export offices, we’ll examine how UK rightsholders can access overseas schemes and advocate for similar opportunities at home. The UK film industry has benefited significantly from government-backed incentives - could music follow suit? Join this discussion to learn how your business can tap into international opportunities, and how we as a community can campaign for transformative policies in the UK.
