SXSW London: U.K. Music Tech Sector Calls for Greater Recognition and Funding: ‘We Want to Get Something Done’
Summary
The article covers the U.K. music technology sector’s push for greater recognition at SXSW London. MTUK used the event to present a report showing that growth-stage investment in U.K. music tech has fallen sharply since 2020. The sector argues that it acts as infrastructure for the wider music economy and needs clearer policy support, tax incentives, and investor attention. Leaders also point to uncertainty around AI policy and uneven regional investment as barriers to scaling. The piece frames music tech as an emerging software-adjacent sector seeking stronger commercial momentum and government backing.
