IMPALA<\/strong>, the European association of independent music companies, today released an action plan calling for a coordinated industrial policy to strengthen Europe’s cultural ecosystem. The announcement was timed to coincide with European Diversity Month and comes just ahead of Europe Day, as the EU implements its Culture Compass, sets budget priorities for 2028-2034 and reviews policies affecting culture.<\/p>\n

IMPALA, which represents more than 6,000 independent music companies, said the plan outlines the building blocks of a strategy to boost competitiveness, growth and diversity while securing Europe’s sovereignty over its intellectual property, cultural infrastructure and value chains. Independent businesses produce more than 80% of all new music releases and account for 80% of the sector’s jobs, according to the organization.<\/p>\n

Plan framework<\/h2>\n

The proposal rests on three overarching principles, among them the idea that making Europe the best place in the world for culture requires a business plan with concrete targets and action points. The detailed action points are organized around six objectives, including supporting the cultural sector’s leading role in sustainability, equity, diversity and inclusion.<\/p>\n

Leadership perspectives<\/h2>\n

Helen Smith<\/strong>, IMPALA’s Executive Chair, said:<\/p>\n

\n

“The starting point is recognising that culture is unlike any other business, and that artists and independent cultural businesses are at the heart of cultural innovation, investment and diversity. They need to be the focus of a business plan and a coordinated industrial approach at EU and national level if we are serious about addressing the challenges of our time.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dario Dra\u0161tata<\/strong>, Chair of IMPALA, President of regional association RUNDA Adria and Executive Director of Dallas Records, added:<\/p>\n

\n

“It is important to have an ambitious approach to grow more big European independent companies which can offer more scale and prevent a ‘culture drain’ by making it easier for ownership of intellectual property and infrastructure to remain in Europe. We need Europe to be at the top of the culture game, and that requires more powerful independent businesses.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Francesca Trainini<\/strong>, President of IMPALA and Vice-President of Italian independents’ association PMI, said:<\/p>\n

\n

“Today’s new cultural releases and diversity are tomorrow’s heritage. This action plan is an important step towards developing the coordinated approach Europe needs, because we believe that a fair, diverse and competitive European cultural ecosystem is not only good for business but can also contribute to strengthening Europe’s sovereignty.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Policy context<\/h2>\n

The EU has already designated cultural and creative industries as one of 14 key industrial ecosystems. The European Commission’s Culture Compass<\/a>, published at the end of 2025, acknowledged that “culture’s strategic importance for Europe is underestimated and yet to be fully valorised.” IMPALA views an industrial policy for culture as the logical next step.<\/p>\n

The action plan builds on a report by Dan Fowler<\/strong>, “Powering an Independent and Culturally Diverse European Music Ecosystem,” which found that independence is synonymous with cultural diversity and that the independent sector needs fair conditions to remain strong. The report called for a “fundamental rethink” to build a robust plan to support Europe’s cultural and creative sectors.<\/p>\n

The proposals are intended to complement IMPALA’s work in other commercially focused areas such as industry collaboration, finance and streaming reform<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Helen Smith concluded:<\/p>\n

\n

“We look forward to the discussion with EU and national decision-makers on how to take these recommendations forward and come up with a business plan to make Europe the best place in the world to be an artist and an independent cultural business.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
