New Orleans

Music Industry Economic Impact Assessment

We are proud to have worked with NOME to deliver a Music Industry Economic Impact Assessment for the Greater New Orleans Region (GNO).

The confluence of technology that has disrupted the old music business models, new state financial incentives for permanent job creation, and intellectual property production, market growth, and the strong New Orleans brand as a center for innovation, technology and entrepreneurship makes this the right time for this initiative.

The vision for the New Orleans Music Economy initiative (NOME) is for the New Orleans Region to have both the brand of America’s premier music city and a thriving music economy by focusing on the development of the Intellectual Property (music copyright) value stream. The NOME initiative will grow the local economy by capturing and adding to the value of its music creators, attracting investment and creating new jobs.

We’re grateful to the sponsors of this initiative:  Greater New Orleans, Inc, The Helis Foundation, IBERIABANK, New Orleans & Company, The City of New Orleans, New Orleans Downtown Development District, Kevin M. Lin, Louisiana Entertainment and New Orleans Business Alliance.
