ESNS Exchange, formerly known as ETEP, is a European talent exchange program that was introduced in 2003 to facilitate the exchange of European artists across the continent. The initiative, which is run by ESNS, helps to book European acts on festivals outside their home countries and generates media exposure for these artists through partnerships with Euroradio, export offices, and local media outlets. The goal of ESNS Exchange is to support the international careers of European artists and give them a boost in the industry.
