Every year Edinburgh welcomes over 30,000 of the world’s leading arts professionals to enrich its famous August festivals season. The Momentum international delegate programme brings together policy makers, festival organisers, curators, creative entrepreneurs, funders, officials, producers and programmers from all over the world to immerse themselves in this unrivalled showcase of global cultural excellence.
Each delegate is provided with a specially tailored schedule of activities, briefings and meetings to help foster collaboration and exchange. The aim is to encourage new international partnerships, as well as investment in and collaboration with Edinburgh’s festivals and the wider arts sector in Scotland.
Since 2011, Momentum has brought over 700 international delegates to Edinburgh. These visits have resulted in seasons of work being presented by countries including India, New Zealand and Argentina within our festivals and opened up opportunities for delegates to forge new connections with their counterparts in Scotland and internationally.
Momentum is jointly delivered by Festivals Edinburgh, Creative Scotland and British Council, with additional support from EventScotland and City of Edinburgh Council.
