BMAT Music Innovators

Born in Barcelona in 2006, BMAT was founded by engineers who believed that music and data should play in harmony. We’ve spent the last 20 years innovating to empower the people and systems behind every song. Today, we’re a global team of 270 music-loving experts, working to help the entire music copyright network identify, match, track and claim rights. BMAT acts today as the Operating System for the Music Industry, processing €3 billion in royalties every year. We ingest, align and standardise music rights data so creators, publishers, labels, DSPs and societies all work from the same clean source of truth. BMAT manages every step of rights and royalties operations – usage tracking and reporting, repertoire matching and claiming – across music and audiovisual content in broadcast, streaming, video on demand, and UGC. Daily, BMAT's platform delivers around 30 billion matches and 100 million identifications to its partners. By simplifying complex copyright operations and unlocking economies of scale, BMAT’s music operating system enables more money to flow efficiently to music makers and rights owners, powering the distribution of over €2 billion worth of royalties yearly.
