IMS Dubai Opens Applications for Music Startup Accelerator

For an industry built on the pursuit of finding the ‘next big thing’, music’s relationship with the startup ecosystem has been lacking for far too long. Genuinely innovative startups often face massive hurdles in gaining capital and industry access - a problem that the IMS Accelerator by KOR Protocol aims to address, offering a platform to elevate the next generation of music business entrepreneurs.

With applications set to be reviewed by music industry experts, one winning entry will receive a financial grant, hands-on guidance and guaranteed strategic partnerships, in addition to the chance to present live on stage at Beatport Presents IMS Dubai, taking place on November 12th and 14th.

The winner, along with three runners-up, will also receive Delegate Badges to the summit, paving the war for the opportunity to network directly with industry decision-makers, record label owners, artist managers and more. 

Applications can be submitted through the IMS website and are open till November 1st.
