We are dedicated 
to music. 

With the constitution of the expert body EMIA, an important step has been taken for a united and strong European musical instrument and musical equipment (MI) industry. Four leading national industry associations are joining forces in an alliance to advocate for the cultural and economic interests of the MI industry in Europe.

​

The European MI industry urgently needs a platform that enables national associations of the European member states to represent their interests jointly and in a bundled way vis-à-vis politicians. EMIA deals with the pressing issues of European politics and defends music as one of the most important commodities for our societies.

​

It is time for all the musical instrument associations and companies in Europe to be united and finally speak with one voice in order to be much more representative, so that the demands of the sovereign national associations that recognise themselves in the EMIA are taken into account and the changes necessary for the development of the market are implemented, such as competition law, VAT and the enhancement of the cultural role and function of the MI industry in building a new European identity.

​

The EMIA stands up for the cultural and economic interests of the musical instrument and music equipment industry on a national and European level, with the aim of strengthening the competitiveness of the industry in all market sectors, helping to shape the political and legal framework conditions according to the requirements of the industry, and promoting up-to-date further and advanced training in music, as well as intensifying active music making and music skills in society.
