International Trade
Once it was only the major record companies who could take advantage of international trade opportunities. Now it’s easier than ever for small and medium-sized companies to develop international trading links; and with over $25 billion spent in the global music industry market in 2005 (source: IFPI) the opportunities are there for all to see.
The music industry holds a number of trade fairs throughout the year, giving the opportunity for bands, labels, songwriters and publishers to find new licensees, distributors and contacts across the world.
Small companies are often unaware of how to make the most out of international trade - WMF can help.
Not only can we help you get to Midem, Popkomm, and South By Southwest and more, but we can give you training in international sales and how to make the most out of these events. We work closely with both Creative Business Wales and International Business Wales to make sure that you get the maximum assistance possible in accessing international markets.
