Vaud and Geneva continue funding labels and publishers in French-speaking Switzerland in 2027

The cantons of Vaud and Geneva and the cities of Lausanne and Geneva are jointly funding a pilot programme for the music industry in French-speaking Switzerland for the second time. It supports labels and music publishers in developing and promoting their releases.¹

Labels and publishers based in the canton of Vaud or Geneva can apply. Their catalogue must include at least two acts from French-speaking Switzerland in development for 2027. For new works, support covers areas such as promotion, distribution, press materials, showcases and running the label; for existing catalogues, it covers promotion, distribution and content.² The deadline is 25 October 2026. An online information session, with registration, takes place on 12 October.¹

In the first year, Irascible Sàrl, Les disques Bongo Joe, myMusicrights and Colors Records received funding.¹ The announcement does not say how much money is available in total.

Next step: applications can be submitted via the FCMA website until 25 October 2026.¹²
