(Hypebot) — The Winners of the Midemlab music tech startup competition were named yesterday at this year’s Midem Digital online convention.
The 20 finalists to present their projects at this year’s Midem were selected from a total of 203 submissions from 34 countries.
The demo of Live Music Experiences winner Anything World which makes metaverse-ready original 3D animation available to all artists was particularly impressive.
Global music conference Midem is free and online running thru Friday this week with an impressive lineup of speakers, panels, and networking opportunities.
