Gramex, together with other key Finnish music industry organisations and stakeholders, has published a set of shared goals for the 2027–2031 parliamentary term. The goals focus on areas such as cultural funding, cultural wellbeing and regional accessibility, music education for children and young people, copyright and artificial intelligence, market growth and exports, as well as social security and working conditions.

How are songs really created and what kind of journey do they take from an initial idea to a finished phonogram? Gramex is launching a new “The Value of Music” video series, and now anyone has the opportunity to apply and share the story behind their own track.

Gramex paid approximately EUR 5.2 million in its summer distribution on 11 June 2026. Remunerations were paid to around 8,000 Finnish performers and producers represented by Gramex.

Gramex’s “The Value of Music” video series launches on 12 June with an episode featuring Eva Louhivuori, taking viewers behind the creation of the new track “Sano se”.

The MyGramex portal will be available throughout the summer.

Gramex is developing an advance payment system that integrates usage data and processes royalties in real time.

Equal Futures in Music brings industry stakeholders together to build a shared vision for an equal music industry by 2040.

Riku Lievonen will start on 18 May 2026 as Director of Communications and Community Relations at Gramex. Lievonen joins Gramex from Burson, a communications agency, as an influencer communications specialist.

In 2025, responsibility played a central role at Gramex, as the sustainability programme was implemented in a comprehensive manner for the first time. At the same time, Gramex’s core operations related to the management and distribution of remunerations collected for the use of music continued steadily and efficiently in a changing operating environment.

Gramex and Teosto will once again present the Music Insight of the Year award, which aims to highlight innovative and inventive uses of music in films and TV series. The award will be presented at the Screen Helsinki audiovisual industry event on 28 August 2026. Production companies can submit works until 31 May.
