NOMEX announces the affiliated membership of Faroe Music Export

NOMEX and Faroe Music Export (FMX) are proud to announce the affiliated membership of FMX in the pan-Nordic platform.

Faroe Music Export (FMX), the Faroe Islands’ music export platform, is the first affiliated member of NOMEX. The Faroese government office 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.

"On behalf of Faroe Music Export (FMX), I want to thank NOMEX for this fantastic opportunity and for opening their doors to us. 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. I’m confident that our cooperation with NOMEX will be incredibly beneficial. At the same time, FMX is committed to being a valuable, contributing member, bringing our knowledge, network, and experience to the table — and, last but not least, an incredible and rapidly growing music scene.”
-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.

“Just like Iceland, the Faroe Islands are a small and unique music market with immense talent but little industry. Iceland has been a member of NOMEX from the start and we know how much it means to belong to a network where it’s possible to collaborate on meaningful projects on a pan-Nordic level and share knowledge and experience with our colleagues in the Nordics. Equally, NOMEX is lucky to have FMX on board and we look forward to future

collaborations!”
-says María Rut Reynisdóttir, director of Iceland Music.

During the trade mission, we had the privilege of visiting several leading companies in the K-pop industry, including SM Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, KREATION Music Rights, Hi-Hat Entertainment, and Starship Entertainment. As in previous years, the experience provided us with valuable insights into the dynamic world of K-pop.
