Music Export Growth Scheme

About the Scheme

The Music Export Growth Scheme is a partnership between the Department for Business and Trade, the Department for Media Culture and Sport and the UK music sector represented by the BPI.

The aim of the Scheme is to provide match-funded support for UK independent music SMEs to deliver marketing campaigns, usually linked to international tours or projects to enable them to grow their business and build the careers of their artists.

Applicants must complete the application form on this website on or before the deadline.  Word limits must be respected.  Additional attachments are limited to a biography only.

Applications will be reviewed by the BPI and Department for Business and Trade, with advice from a panel of music industry experts, chaired by John Kennedy OBE.  The panel will draw on the marketing expertise of a number of organisations including the Music Managers Forum (MMF), The Featured Artists Coalition (FAC) and the Association of Independent Music (AIM) as well as representatives of independent record labels and BPI.
