MW:M Live is the showcase festival of Most Wanted: Music, Berlin's festival for the music industry.

Most Wanted: Music is the biggest music business event in Berlin and an up-and-coming hotspot for music and creative industry experts from all over Europe.

MW:M is organised by the Berlin Music Commission. With Most Wanted: Music, the Berlin Music Commission is driving the development of the music and creative industries - by inspiring new ideas and business models, sharing the latest expertise and promoting networking and collaboration.
