Values

Music Estonia bases its work on three main values: openness, cooperation and knowledge-based activity.

Openness – We are founded by and work for music companies and organisations. Our operation is transparent and inclusive of our members and the industry.

Cooperation – As a small organisation, we know that in order to achieve results, we need to work very closely together both within and outside the field. To this end we are developing and expanding our cooperation network both in Estonia and internationally. We are a constructive partner in the development of the music industry for both the public and private sectors.

Knowledge-based activity – We collect comprehensive and up-to-date statistics and rely on research and analysis. We proceed from the needs of our members and those working in the field. Our activity is purposeful and solution-oriented.
