From established Western European ecosystems to fast-emerging scenes in the Caucasus, this panel explores how different music markets evolve, connect, and create opportunities across borders. France, Armenia, and Georgia each offer distinct models—shaped by infrastructure, culture, and international positioning—yet share common challenges in export, visibility, and sustainable growth.
Bringing together key voices from across the region, the discussion looks at how artists and professionals navigate these markets, what support systems exist, and where collaboration can unlock new pathways. What can these regions learn from each other, and how can stronger connections reshape the wider European music landscape?
