Once again, the Catalan Ministry of Culture will hold a booth under the brand Catalan Arts at Midem 2017, the international meeting of professionals working in the music industry. The Catalan Arts booth will host 12 companies representatives from the Catalan music sector.

Midem, which this year celebrates its 51st edition, will take place in Cannes, France, from 6 to 9 June. Created in 1967, it is the most important meeting, worldwide, of companies working in the sector.
