MTEA Wraps Up 2nd Acceleration Programme at Sónar+D

Opportunities. Community. Growth.

These three words captured the energy at our MTEA closing event this year.

After months of virtual collaboration, we materialised in a room full of music-tech minds to reflect on the challenges we overcame and the progress made through the journey. We had the chance to give consistency to the goals we set at the beginning of the programme, and the efforts we made to reach them.

But it’s not just about individual advancements. The founders who joined as solo or small teams became suddenly part of a network that spans more than 12 countries. Every connection opened new doors that wouldn’t have existed otherwise.

We confirmed once again that growth is a collective endeavour. It’s not only about scaling your own company vertically. It’s especially about expanding horizontally — finding innovation at the intersection of different markets, products, and most importantly, people.

As entrepreneurs join the programme, they come to learn more about their business, but leave with a vision for the entire ecosystem. That’s our deepest mission.

Thanks to everyone who joined us. Follow along to see the outcomes and success stories from this edition.
