where are we heading in 2026?

The music industry is undergoing profound change – technologically, economically and socially. We are actively shaping this change and remain committed to supporting our more than 100,000 members. In doing so, we have set clear priorities: fairness, transparency, efficiency and strong representation for authors. Looking ahead to 2026, we are well positioned and look forward to the challenges ahead with optimism. 

These are the areas we focus on

We focus on key areas of activity in order to provide our members with the best possible long-term support. This includes the digitalisation of our processes, further improvements in efficiency, rigorous cost management, and actively addressing challenging future issues such as artificial intelligence. In this way, we ensure that we effectively tackle the challenges of a changing music market and represent our members’ interests to the best of our ability.
