CANNES, France (CelebrityAccess) — International music industry-focused conference Midem announced the launch of the Midem Talent Exporter.

Formerly known as Midem’s popular Artist Accelerator program, the Midem Talent Exporter will serve as a career incubator for what Midem sees as a global expansion for artists.

The Midem Talent Exporter will spotlight 22 international emerging talents, selected through a free and open-to-all call for entries.

The program will provide participating artists with networking opportunities with international talent buyers, including agents, promoters, festivals, media, PR, curators, music editors, and A&Rs.

The list of confirmed talent buyers includes Planetary Group’s Adam Lewis, Bella Union’s Anika Mottershaw, Live Nation VP Damien Chamard Boudet, Rob Hallet, founder of Robomagic, and Sziget’s head of booking Virág Csiszár among numerous others.

They will also gain access to 10 music supervisors with the specific objective of building concrete business partnerships.

Participating artists will also have access to Midem’s educational Artist & Label Services Forum during the convention.

The Midem Talent Exporter is open to artists/bands, managers, publishers, labels, agents and promoters from around the world who would like to submit an artist/band to benefit from the program.

• Be an individual artist or a band
