The Music Export Growth Scheme offers match-funding grants to UK-based music SMEs to deliver high-quality international marketing and promotion campaigns linked to tours. It supports artists with established UK success aiming to break into international markets by funding up to 50% of eligible external costs. Applicants must provide evidence of UK sales, a detailed marketing plan, and demonstrate tangible economic benefit to the UK. The scheme excludes funding for UK activities and prioritizes projects with clear business outputs and sales targets.
Eligible applicants are UK-based music SMEs with fewer than 250 employees and turnover under €50 million. Applicants must not have received other public funds for the project and must demonstrate UK sales and economic benefit from trade development.
