The megatrends shaping the future of the world affect the music industry in many ways, the most obvious of these being the pervasiveness of technology. Experts interviewed by FMQ view technological advancements basically as positive, but unless the industry proves itself capable of adapting to the ongoing changes, the greatest threat to the music industry may be the industry itself.

Music student Perttu Pölönen had an idea. There are 12 notes in the classical Western scale -what would happen if you placed those notes on a clock face? With this in mind, Pölönen created the Musiclock, which was later reworked into an app. And there is still more to come.
