Be part of the first MusicTech start-up program in Belgium !

Powered by LeanSquare, a VC funds based in Liège, the Wallifornia Musictech acceleration program carefully selects 10 MusicTech start-up to accelerate over a 10 day period.

Happening from June 27 to July 6, it gives the chosen start-up a unique opportunity to be a part of the music industry gathered up for Les Ardentes.

As part of the acceleration program, teams are individually coached by experienced entrepreneurs and music industry experts in order to set up a financing dossier and potentially raise funds by presenting their project in front of a panel of investors. To get ready for this, start-up are invited to attend various workshops. At a crossroads between entrepreneurship, innovation and communication, they cover topics such as sales, negociation, investors relations, growth hacking, digital strategy, communication and storytelling.

By bringing together artists, labels, agents, festival organizers, musictech start-up, researchers, key players of the music industry and investors; the WMT aims to foster the creation and the development of MusicTech projects as well as the emergence of a MusicTech ecosystem with the goal of shaping the future of music. During Les Ardentes Festival, start-up will meet experienced entrepreneurs and experts from the music industry and will have the opportunity to potentially raise funds by presenting their project to a panel of investors.

Universal Music Group, the world leader in music-based entertainment, is participating in this year’s music acceleration program through its recently announced UMG Accelerator Engagement Network. Representatives from UMG will be on-hand during the program and UMG executives may be assigned as on-going mentors for certain of the start-ups within the program.
