On November 7th, NOMEX and Faroe Music Export (FMX) announced the affiliated membership of FMX in the pan-Nordic platform.

Faroe Music Export, the Faroe Islands’ music export platform, is the first affiliated member of NOMEX. FMX works at an industry level to support and facilitate the export of Faroese music across all genres, developing initiatives and opportunities for Faroese music and its international partners, both at home and abroad.

"While the Faroe Islands may be a small country, I think everyone in the industry has noticed our growth on the international music scene since FMX was established in 2019. This affiliate membership with NOMEX feels like a natural next step, and the timing is just right," comments Glenn Larsen, head of FMX.

NOMEX affiliate members are national organisations committed to music export from the Nordic region outside the original founding countries of NOMEX. NOMEX aims to keep affiliate membership aligned to national membership with a focus on inter-Nordic collaboration on music export, knowledge sharing and collaboration on relevant activities.

NOMEX (Nordic Music Export Programme) was founded in 2012 by the five music export offices in the Nordic region: Music Norway, Export Music Sweden, Music Export Denmark, Music Finland, and lceland Music. The initiative is set up to facilitate growth and development in the Nordic music sector through media development, transnational promotion, and support services for artists.
