Music Tech Fest (MTF) is a growing global community of over 7000 brilliant innovators. These innovators come from a wide range of backgrounds, disciplines and skillsets.
Many are academics – doctoral, postdoctoral and professorial; others are industry experts, scientists, professional artists, producers, curators, business executives, media professionals and more.
The core purpose of MTF is to seed and support new ideas, new collaborations and new projects that go on to have a life beyond MTF – as research projects, products, businesses, artistic performances and inventions that would not otherwise have been created.
MTF democratises innovation by placing creativity at the centre. It brings together arts and science, academia and industry in a space of common understanding – to use music as a social glue and a springboard to address grand challenges through curiosity, ingenuity and collaborative making.
