NIGHT-MAYOR FOUNDATION
Amsterdam
What is a Night Mayor?
The Night Mayor is a independent non-profit organisation dedicated to ensure a dynamic nightlife and helps to build bridges between the municipality, (small) business owners and residents. By creating a mutual understanding, the Night Mayor changes the game.
A view to the future
Amsterdam is a city of innovation. The introduction of 24-hour permits in the Hotel and Catering Industry in 2013 marked a major change. The Night Mayor was actively involved in introducing these licenses. It was a significant moment for the city of Amsterdam.

PROMUS
Aarhus
Promus is the community and networking center for both the music industry and the musicians in Denmark. Located in Aarhus, our main objective is to focus on the city’s rich tradition for new music talent, but also to support, motivate, and help new businesses get a foothold in the music business of tomorrow. We see ourselves as the bridge between the established music business and the new emerging talent – not only in Aarhus, but throughout the country - and are constantly working on tying to two together through networking arrangements, courses and seminars, workshops, mentor programs, business advice and office facilities – and especially through our partnership
with the SPOT Festival, where we produce and coordinate a string of activities at the SPOT+ -conference part of the festival.
Also Promus is a part of the newly formed network, Music Cities Network, with “fellow-music cities” such as Hamburg, Groningen, Nantes, Sydney & Berlin.

Now is our chance to celebrate the cultures that bring our city together and put Leeds firmly on the map. On October 27th Leeds submitted its first stage bid for the title which could transform the quality of life in Leeds, celebrating its many and diverse cultures and generating inward investment, tourism and employment across the city’s 33 wards.
