VEGA aims to be a natural beacon in both a professional and social context on how the world surrounding live music is evolving.

VEGA is a founding member of Liveurope and currently sits on the platform's steering committee.

Liveurope is supported by the EU Commission, has 23 partner venues across Europe, and primarily aims to develop and support the mobility of emerging music in Europe.

Over its first ten years, Liveurope has proven its value as a platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing. From 2022, the EU Commission has included Liveurope in its new 7-year cultural budget and has increased the grant.

In an international context, VEGA presents the internationally oriented industry program What’s Next each year, which includes masterclasses, networking events, LAB, conference, and showcase. What’s Next attracts high-profile industry professionals from Europe and Denmark, along with guests from abroad, who come together with the vision of exploring the future music scene and sharing knowledge.
