NEST Music Incubator Joins the Europe Jazz Network
Expanding creative connections between the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe
NEST Music Incubator is proud to announce its membership in the Europe Jazz Network — one of the oldest and most established networks for creative and improvised music in Europe. This month, the network’s board officially approved NEST’s application, welcoming us into a diverse and inspiring community of over 200 organisations from 38 countries.
This milestone reflects NEST’s vision to build long-term partnerships that serve music creators and professionals from the Middle East and North Africa. By joining this network, we are opening new pathways for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and international visibility for the growing music ecosystems across our region.
NEST exists to connect, support, and elevate music professionals through mentorship, showcasing, education, and access to industry networks. Becoming part of this broader European platform allows us to introduce new perspectives, expand opportunities, and contribute to a more connected and inclusive music industry.
We are also pleased to share that NEST will participate in the upcoming European Jazz Conference, taking place from 25 to 28 September 2025 in Bari, Italy. This year’s theme, Somewhere Called Home, will explore how music and culture respond to themes of migration, belonging, and the search for connection. Bari (a Mediterranean city shaped by hospitality and exchange) offers a powerful setting to reflect on how creative work brings people and communities together.
The conference brings together artists, promoters, agents, managers, and institutions from across Europe and beyond. NEST’s presence will highlight the creative talent and professional energy coming from our region, and it is an opportunity to share, learn, and build new partnerships for the future.
