European Music Incubator is a 5-partners innovative project based on a European capacity building program dedicated to knowledge-transfer about in-between/emerging musicians' careers and to structuring of the music sector at local and European levels. EMI develops transnational skills-training and mentoring solutions about entrepreneurship mindset, new business models and diversification of activities of musicians. This experimental project is a first step towards an attractive European-wide training and mentoring program about career’s strategy for in-between musicians .EMI has been based on diversity and complementarity and new forms of collaboration among public authorities, music sector and creative sectors, both on local and European levels. The partners (NGO, university, public authority and SME) contribute to the full-life cycle of music value-chain (festival, studios, training centre, music academy, residence and events). They belong to the Collaborative Lab, built as a P2P team, and each partner also leads a Local Hub that gathers relevant local stakeholders to feed the Collaborative Lab: universities, musicians, creative -public or private-funded- organizations and public bodies.
