Welcome to MATE, the Festival of MUSIC, ART, TECHNOLOGY, and EDUCATION. MATE is a brand that believes in creating an open environment where creativity thrives. They harness the power of music to connect people, strengthen identities, and enhance the sense of community.

MATE brings together three Southern European cities and regions to unleash the creative force of their communities and drive positive change. In Santiago de Compostela, the first stop of MATE Europe, you will experience the cultural significance of this European Capital of Culture. NORDESÍA, a leading company in Galicia's cultural and creative sectors, is one of MATE's partners and will host the event.

Santiago de Compostela, with its UNESCO World Heritage Site status and renowned University, perfectly aligns with MATE's objectives. The second stop is Thessaloniki, Greece. Known for its vibrant art and cultural scene, Thessaloniki is a haven for the Culture and Creative Industries.

With its strong reputation, the city promises an exciting immersion into its creative ecosystem. Coimbra, Portugal, takes center stage for MATE Europe. This region, home to two of the project's organizations, is a blend of urban setting and historical richness.

Coimbra's identity is deeply rooted in culture and knowledge, thanks to its internationally renowned university. The city is now experiencing a cultural revival driven by creativity, and MATE aims to contribute to its development. Join MATE for an unforgettable journey of music, art, technology, and education that will inspire and connect communities.
