Norway Export’s UK rep relocating to Berlin
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 12 March 2012
The UK rep of Music Export Norway, Jonas Vebner, will relocate to Berlin later this year to run the organisation’s office there, which looks to promote the Norwegian music industry and artist community in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
Vebner opened the first MEN office abroad, in London, in 2008. The trade office then opened another base in Berlin in 2010, and although Vebner is currently primarily UK-based, he has spent 20% of his time working in the German capital for the last year. He will replace Siri Narverud Moen in running the Berlin office from September, while a new UK rep is still to be appointed.
Confirming his move, Vebner told CMU: “It has been a privilege to open MEN’s first office abroad, and I can look back on four fantastic, exciting and enterprising years in the UK. It has been incredibly inspiring to work with so many talented Norwegian and British colleagues along the way. It will be very important to me to keep the close connection with the industry, and I am looking forward to working towards the German-speaking market with the same energy and enthusiasm as when I started here in London”.
