TAIPEI MUSIC EXPO (TMEX) has officially launched its international open call, inviting music professionals worldwide to join this year’s event.

Taking place from August 28 to 31 at the Taipei Music Center (TMC) as a key highlight of the 2025 TRENDY TAIPEI event series, the four-day event will feature a dynamic blend of industry forums and festival-stage performances, including the highly anticipated JAM JAM ASIA, which will spotlight breakthrough artists from across the Asia Pacific region.

Guided by the theme “Tune in to Taiwan. Sync with Asia.”, TMEX 2025 focuses on fostering regional collaboration and creative exchange across the Asia-Pacific.

More than a conventional expo, TMEX stands as a premier platform for bridging record labels, music festivals, artist management agencies, and industry leaders from across the region.

As part of this initiative, the international open call invites music professionals, including curators, festival organizers, agency representatives, and media, to participate in programs designed to deepen regional ties.

Regional Exchange at TMEX

This year’s event will feature the most ambitious program to date. The TMEX Forum gathers influential voices from across Asia for panel discussions on creative strategies, industry innovation, and global music trends. The program also includes a keynote by a prominent creative in the music and media space.

The TMEX Exhibition will present the largest gathering of record labels, music festivals, artist management agencies, and industry platforms from across Taiwan. In addition, strategic partnerships with leading festivals and venues—including Thailand’s Big Mountain Music Festival (BMMF), Korea’s Zandari Festa (잔다리페스타), Busan International Rock Festival (부산국제록페스티벌), and Japan’s live house brands Zepp and duo MUSIC EXCHANGE—further expanding TMEX’s international connection.

Another key feature includes the TMEX Biz-Matching initiative, which facilitates curated one-on-one networking between Taiwanese and international professionals. The first two days of TMEX 2025 are reserved for industry professionals, while the weekend program opens to the public with showcases and live performances.
