The dynamic music scene in India is growing rapidly and offers increasing opportunities for local as well as international artists. Goa, known as a unique cultural and musical melting pot, plays a key role in this. To promote creative exchange between India and the Netherlands, India International Music Week, in collaboration with Dutch Music Export and with the support of the Dutch Embassy in India, is organizing a showcase in Goa from February 4 to 6, 2025.
India International Music Week - IIMW
This conference and showcase event provides Dutch artists with the opportunity to present themselves to the rapidly growing Indian music industry. The program includes performances at a renowned music festival in Goa, where Dutch artists can collaborate with Indian artists and professionals. In addition to the performances, the event also offers networking opportunities and workshops with influential professionals from the Indian and international music scene. The goal is to establish valuable business and artistic connections.
