European Talent Exchange

(formerly ESNS Exchange, formerly ETEP – European Talent Exchange Programme)

YOUROPE is a founding partner of the European Talent Exchange Programme.

The European Talent Exchange is an initiative of the Eurosonic Noorderslag (ESNS) Foundation to stimulate the circulation of European repertoire on festivals, radio, and in the media in Europe. In 2021, the name was changed from European Talent Exchange Programme to ESNS Exchange, and in 2024 it was changed again to European Talent Exchange. Together with 130 major music festivals from both inside and outside of Europe, 27 European public radio stations united in the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and supported by the international music press, we help emerging European artists to cross borders and build international careers.

Since 2003, the programme has made an impeccable impact. To date, the project has supported 2290 European artists hailing from 36 countries, enabling them to perform at an impressive 5673 shows across 198 partner festivals.

The programme and its partners and supporters – like the European Commission, Sena Performers, and Buma Cultuur – play an essential part in the European festival industry. Also in the network included are European export offices, which, together with Eurosonic Noorderslag and YOUROPE, create a link between the programme and festivals across Europe.

In previous years, acts like Ásgeir, Aurora, Benjamin Clementine, Birth of Joy, Coely, Dua Lipa, Editors, Ewert and the Two Dragons, Hozier, Ibeyi, Jaakko Eino Kalevi, Jungle, MØ, Milky Chance, Phoenix, Seinabo Sey, SOAK, The XX, Vök, Years & Years played at a lot of festivals, kick-starting their European careers with help from the European Talent Exchange.
