Gender balance

Participation and equality in the field of music technology

SoundMiT has always wanted equal opportunities and non-discrimination in the field of electronic arts and technologies; starting from this 2022 edition, SoundMiT is even more committed to achieving parity in participation, breaking down gender stereotypes, promoting equality and respect.

Short, medium and long-term actions aim to make significant progress in a historically not very inclusive sector to ensure equality and promote a correct distribution of genres and identities in the music technology industry.

THE OBJECTIVES OF SOUNDMiT

Drafted with the collaboration of an external consultant, the SoundMiT Equality Plan has 3 main objectives:
