Are you working in Berlin’s music industry or are you a musician based in Berlin? Want to network and travel? Then apply now for the Music Ambassador programme, announced for the second time in cooperation with Musicboard Berlin!
The Music Ambassador programme by the Berlin Music Commission has eleven and will once again be announced in a new funding round in 2025. After a successful pilot last year, the partnership with Musicboard Berlin is again expanding the programme’s target group: in addition to stakeholders from the Berlin music industry (music professionals), Berlin-based musicians from the pop music sector can also apply. Applications from teams consisting of one musician and one music professional are also welcome again this year.
The Music Ambassador Programme is aimed at Berlin-based music business professionals and musicians who want to represent Berlin abroad and build sustainable networks. The focus is on the international networking of the participants and the presentation of Berlin’s broad musical spectrum worldwide. In particular, the programme will support projects that foster the coordinated transfer of knowledge and experience between the various music locations and that promote sustainable networking. New artistic or professional collaborations should lead to the development or strengthening of networks from all over the world to and with Berlin.
TARGET GROUP
The programme is aimed at all active participants in the Berlin music scene – from artists setting up creative or business cooperation projects to professional music industry players such as labels, publishers, booking agencies and management. Applicants must have their registered office or place of residence in Berlin. The trip must take place between June 8 2025 and November 30 2025. The Berlin Music Commission and Musicboard Berlin want to make the programme as accessible as possible for the entire music value chain (professionals and musicians) and reflect the diversity of Berlin’s music industry and scene. If you have further questions regarding the accessibility of the programme, please contact Tim Joppien: musicambassador@berlin-music-commission.de
