About NCB
NCB's vision
In 2009 NCB adopted a new vision and strategy. With our new vision we intend to continue the improvement of NCB's services and to ensure that Nordic/Baltic rights owners hold a strong position in the future European market. The basic idea of the strategy is that NCB continues to be a hub for mechanical offline licensing and concurrently develops into a hub for the licensing of international online music providers.

NCB's vision
We want to become a leading European copyright partner and hub for mechanical and online licensing, collection and distribution for small and medium-sized music copyright societies as well as international rights holders.
We want to satisfy the needs of international online music service providers by providing a one stop shop for clearing as many rights for as large a repertoire as possible.
Based on our long experience in multi-territorial and cross-border copyright management in the Nordic and Baltic regions, it is our ambition over the next three to five years to expand the volume of royalties handled by more than 25%.
Based on a strong Nordic platform and through strategic alliances with other copyright societies and other potential partners we intend to provide unexcelled administration services in terms of efficient, transparent and competitive copyright management to the benefit of those rights owners and customers who choose NCB as their partner.
