Introduction
MusicTank is one of University of Westminster’s sector-based Knowledge and Business Development Networks. Launched in 2003, MusicTank’s remit was to establish itself as a business development network for the UK music industry - an independent body set up to engage with industry, innovation and change across the music business.
As music business becomes more competitive and entry level continues to get lower through technological development, there is a need for thorough, cutting edge professional expertise. The University’s commercial and intellectual neutrality is a critical factor in the creation and sustainability of a ‘knowledge’ network that encourages adoption of best practice , circulation of innovative ideas, new collaborations and evolution of creative ventures into professional success.
Events
Over the past three years, MusicTank has built an enviable reputation for its ongoing and unique programme of think tanks, conferences, events and, more recently, the commissioning of reports. Bringing hot topics into sharp focus and helping pinpoint the opportunities created by disruptive technologies, it aims to not only address challenges the music industry faces, but aspires to circulate innovative ideas, best practice and cutting-edge strategies to increase innovation and productivity across the music industry.
