WOMEX ｜ SWISS MUSIC withdraws
FONDATION SUISA and Pro Helvetia have decided to end their joint involvement in WOMEX with immediate effect. From 2026, there will no longer be a SWISS MUSIC stand.
This decision is based on an analysis of recent years: the objectives set – in particular the visibility and support of Swiss music creators and their presence in the showcase programme – could no longer be achieved. Both the figures, particularly regarding the participation of Swiss music creators and their representatives, and feedback from the industry show that the benefits of the joint stand no longer justify the effort involved.
At the same time, FONDATION SUISA and Pro Helvetia will remain in contact with WOMEX and will continue to monitor the showcase programme in particular. Alternative support measures will be explored where appropriate. In parallel, the international support strategy will be further developed and new formats tested.
