What is Radar

Radar is a free, public registry of ideas, projects, and companies applying technology and innovation to the music industry, offering solutions, pilots, or services to address the sector's challenges.

It is also a strategic and dynamic tool to map music and technology innovation from Barcelona to the international ecosystem.

In 2025, the Barcelona Music Lab Foundation, together with All Tuner Labs's MusicTech expert team, drives this project with the goal of accelerating innovation processes in the music industry.
