Our focus
Brewhouse Inkubator is the first incubator with a focus on creative tech to be selected for Vinnova’s national incubator programme. Today, the organisation has a clear focus on music tech and technology for music, sound and stage. Here, you can learn more about our focus and how we operate within the national innovation system.
What is an incubator?
An incubator functions like a greenhouse, providing a space where people can nurture their business ideas to grow and develop more rapidly. We supply tools and ‘plant food’ in the form of new knowledge and networks, enhancing the conditions necessary for transforming a business idea into a sustainable and viable company. Over time, both the business idea and the company mature enough to be ‘transplanted,’ continuing to thrive independently.
Music tech at Brewhouse Inkubator
Brewhouse Inkubator has a clear focus on music tech – an area at the intersection of technology, music, sound and stage.
We work with entrepreneurs and startups developing technical solutions for different contexts within music, where the business model is built on innovation, digital technology and scalability.
This focus is part of our long-term direction within the national innovation system.
Why we exist
There is an extensive support system in Sweden for entrepreneurs, innovators and startups looking to develop their business ideas.
Brewhouse Inkubator plays a clear role within the Swedish innovation system as Sweden’s only incubator focused on music tech. We support startups developing technology for music, sound and stage, and bring together entrepreneurs who want to take their ideas further.
We work closely with people behind new ideas and place strong emphasis on teams, collaboration and long-term development. Innovation is driven by people, and our role is to create the conditions for ideas to grow into sustainable companies.
Sweden’s music industry – and the technology behind it
The term the Swedish music phenomenon is often used to describe the international success of Swedish artists. Less widely recognised is the fact that a significant share of today’s value creation in music comes from technology developed for music.
Over several decades, Sweden has built a strong ecosystem of companies developing hardware, software and digital services for music creation, production, live performance and distribution. Companies such as Spotify, Epidemic Sound, Teenage Engineering, Elektron, Toontrack and Nord illustrate how the combination of musical expertise, technical competence and entrepreneurship has led to global success.
Together, these companies show that Sweden’s strong position in music is closely linked to music tech – where innovation, technology and entrepreneurship play a central role.
Brewhouse Inkubator operates within this context and supports the next generation of startups building technology for music, sound and stage, with the ambition to operate on an international market.
