Music WorX is an incubator for early-stage start-ups from the music tech scene - and more than just a classic incubator programme: we believe that strong ideas need strong stories to succeed in the market. Over the course of three intensive months, we will support you in moulding your idea into a marketable vision with a clear narrative - and in making the right connections to bring this vision to the world.
The programme is divided into three phases:
Clarity - Define Your Focus (September)
You develop a well-founded vision that combines market demand, product idea and impact into a coherent overall picture. It's not just about the what, but also the why.
Storytelling - Craft Your Narrative (October)
Sharpen your communication skills: learn how to tell your story convincingly - visually, linguistically and strategically.
Connection - Build Your Network (November)
Activate your network, make strategically relevant contacts and position your idea in the industry.
Music WorX offers you space for real development with experienced mentors, a lively network and strong sparring partners at your side.
What you can expect:
Financial support
Each team receives up to 3,200 euros for support services to further develop the business idea. For the duration of the programme, each team also receives a total of 1,500 euros per month as a living allowance.
-
Workshops, training and coaching
You will regularly meet with all teams in workshops and training sessions and receive valuable input on the following topics:
- Product (Product Field)

In addition, you can expect individual 1:1 sparring sessions with experts as well as advice and dialogue with experienced mentors from the music industry, tech and business.
