As a corporate investor we bring over a century of in-market experience, leadership and resources to any investment we make. We have recently launched our WMG Boost venture fund, specifically aimed at targeting early-stage companies where we believe we can have a large multiplier effect in helping them grow.
Our interest in immersive technologies
Entertainment is becoming interactive and immersive and as one of the top music companies, we believe that music can become a more holistic experience than ever. With that in mind we need to be in the forefront of new immersive technologies leading by example and fostering new use cases by investing in content and experiences around our content, with a special interest in platforms and services that can distribute it all.
