Fostering Catalan Creativity Worldwide Once again, the Government of Catalonia, through the Catalan Institute for Cultural Companies (ICEC), attends Womex with around 25 Catalan companies, events and institutions, joining as co-exhibitors at the stand of Catalan Arts - Government of Catalonia stand #50-52, 87-89.

Womex has always been an important part on the international strategies for the promotion of the Catalan music industry and an excellent marketplace for World Music projects from Catalonia, as well as for a great diversity of companies (management agencies, record labels, publishers, etc.) from our country.
