This call for applications is part of the 10th edition of MaMA Invent, the innovation space of MaMA Music & Convention, and in partnership with Crédit Mutuel.
ParticipateFor more than 20 years, Crédit Mutuel has supported musical creativity and diversity by supporting numerous festivals throughout France, as well as through its music platform, RIFFX, which brings together those who make music and those who love music. Crédit Mutuel, a loyal partner of MaMA, encourages innovation in the service of music through the MaMA Award.
The 6 French or international structures selected will present their project, product or service in English to a jury of professionals from the music, technology and media sectors. The prize will be sponsored by a qualified and well-known figure from the music industry.
You have a structure less than 8 years old and you propose an innovative project, product or service in the music sector.
Your project could be a web or mobile application, software, platform, marketplace, object, service, etc. for the live music sector, the broadcasting of recorded music, publishing, promotion, etc.
Your project can incorporate new technologies (artificial intelligence, VR, blockchain...) but also innovate by integrating sustainable development issues. This year, the Jury will be paying particular attention to the ecological and/or social commitment of entries. Innovative character will be assessed according to the originality of the entrepreneurial approach in the music sector, to the exclusion of artistic projects.
The MaMA Invent RIFFX Pitch Session will take place on Friday, October 18, 2024 at the Trianon.
Pitch session participants will be offered two MaMA 2024 accreditations and will automatically compete for the MaMA Invent RIFFX Prize, which will be awarded to the project that most appeals to the jury at the end of MaMA 2024.
The winner will receive a 3-day corner at the next MaMA Music & Convention, as well as publicity for his/her project. Crédit Mutuel will provide a €2,000 grant to the winner.
