IMEXSA - Independent Music Exporters South Africa

IMEXSA is a non profit organisation dealing with the promotion and export development program dedicated to support, expands export, trade excellence, provide assistance and create opportunities for music companies to be internationally successful while contributing to our region’s economic growth. The association focus on potential emerging exporters in music industry where training, exhibitions, festivals and professional event will be needed to be carried out on a regular basis. Studies indicate that increased exports contribute significantly to economic growth, yet most small- and mid-sized firms don’t consider international business opportunities because they lack trained personnel or have limited access to international marketing resourcesWe believe that by providing a good foundation for small enterprises will help to increase the strength of our economy and the growth of South African Music Business.
