WE DON’T PREDICT THE FUTURE. WE INVENT IT.
A gathering of a global community of innovators.
#MTF SETS ANCHOR IN STHLM
#MTF is a global community of over 7000 innovators from all backgrounds and areas of expertise. The community has innovated and showcased in many European cities including with the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican in London, at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the legendary Funkhaus in Berlin, as well as overseas in Boston and Wellington.
After 10 major events worldwide, #MTF has now set anchor in Stockholm: the Western capital of innovation and biggest exporter of music per capita.
“The band on stage was made of neuroscientists, accessibility designers, computer programmers, directors of gaming companies, a cyborg with RFID implants, and audience members who were transmitting their reaction through pulse sensors to the blind singer” - SLUSH 2017

WE MAKE THINGS AND WE MAKE THINGS HAPPEN
Music Tech Fest is the pioneering global festival of music ideas and a giant creative innovation laboratory which gathers experts from science and art to reinvent tools, instruments and interactive environments for play and for industry. It features cutting edge performance with the latest technologies, live hands on invention, and industry showcases that connect artists, technologists and business in a vibrant environment. Unique collaborations, new works created on site, premieres of future technology, and a visionary community, make each event an exciting landmark gathering.
#MTF is cross-genre, international, enriching, and inclusive.

“MTF Berlin was one of the best events I ever took part in. In a certain way, it felt like coming home, meeting and creating with a community of people who understand why we’re creating using this combination of music, interdisciplinary art and technology.” - Eyal Weisz
WE ARE INFLUENCERS
FROM THE ARTS TO POLITICS
#MTF’s crossover between art and science has influenced policy at the highest level. Over the past 5 years our methodologies have been translated directly into innovation recommendations for research and industry for the European Commission and the G7 leaders.
ACROSS ALL INDUSTRIES
PUT YOUR TOOLS IN OUR HANDS
Music Tech Fest has grown thanks to the support from a long list of amazing partners, some of whom have contributed directly to our toolkit.
We have now created the Industry Commons to unite all of our partners’ tools and multiply the number of resulting applications.
FROM MUSIC TO PRIMARY INDUSTRY
MEET THE #MTF ALUMNI
Innovators who seeded ideas and were incubated with our #MusicBricks Toolkit have gone on to win multiple awards, recognition and funding, including MIT Innovators under 35, 30 under 30 entrepreneurs by Forbes Israel, 1M€ follow-up funding, and Swedish patent filing for primary industry.
At #MTFStockholm we will premiere the Swedish Music Tech Toolkit exclusively for our hackers and creators.
