MTF Labs has stated its aim to "address grand challenges through curiosity, ingenuity and collaborative making." According to its founder Michela Magas, the labs have also had "major implications for our understanding of systems, interactions, communications or the future of work." These discoveries have, amongst other things, led to the establishment of Industry Commons, which seeks to use the same ethos of cross-domain collaboration to shape the broader innovation landscape. It has been hosted worldwide by partners including IRCAM, The London Symphony Orchestra, SoundCloud, Mixcloud, The BBC, EMI, RCA Records, Shazam, Last.fm, Ableton, Native Instruments, Izotope, FXpansion, RS Components, RjDj, WIRED, MTV, Microsoft Research, Cisco, Stephen Fry/ Penguin, EU Commission, DMIC, British Council, Sound and Music, MTG, Fraunhofer Society, BCU, MIT Media Lab, Berklee College of Music, McGill, Goldsmiths, Royal College of Art, Ninja Tune, Warp, The Echo Nest, MusicBrainz, Reactable, Jamie Cullum, Tim Exile, Leafcutter John. The festival was run by UK design company Stromatolite LTD until 2018, when the Swedish company MTF Labs AB was established specifically in order to organise MTF Labs events and promote the activities of its community. In 2018, MTF Labs superseded Music Tech Fest to become the main activity. The first MTF Labs took place at Music Tech Fest Berlin in 2016. Since the first Music Tech Fest in 2012, a community has formed around the festival with over 7,500 members from fields such as medicine, aviation, product design, AI, music composition, microcomputing, traditional crafts, neuroscience, ecology and economics. MTF Labs is a series of innovation labs, festivals and events encouraging innovation through creative work, particularly music. MTF Labs brings together innovators from the worlds of art, science, academia and industry into common creative and experimental spaces.Īveiro, Berlin, Boston, Frankfurt, Genoa, Helsinki, Karlsruhe, Liège, Ljubljana, London, Örebro, Paris, Pula, Stockholm, Umeå and Wellington
