The countries with the highest number of representatives are Spain, France, UK and the US. The presence of artists at the PrimaveraPro conferences was one of the most outstanding features of the event, be it to talk about their experiences during their career (David Gedge) or about the importance of music in social movements from the 1960s to the present day (Buffy Saint Marie and Fermin Muguruza, among others). On this occasion, all the active parts of the music world were present, from associations such as APM, ARC, ASSAC, Dansk Live, Impala, UFI, UMC and Yourope to festivals fans, protagonists of one of the most popular roundtables. Austria, Canada, Chile, the US, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia and South Africa participated actively in PrimaveraPro, engaging in networking activities and presenting some of the best up-and-coming artists of the festival. On the adidas Originals stage, 25 bands from these countries demonstrated their international quality.

In this edition, three music-related companies represented the country: Algorecords - In 2002, two brothers (Alvaro and Alejandro Gómez) decided that the only way to release the music of their band Guiso was by setting up their own record label. In true DIY spirit, and influenced by international and Chilean punk bands, they created Algorecords, a label which already has 45 national rock releases under its belt. Its headquarters boast rehearsal studios, two professional recording studios and the label´s office, all testament to the triumph of independent Chilean rock. Discos Río Bueno is a Chilean company which works in the music industry. Its principal objective is to foster the national independent music industry, both domestically and internationally. Their high standards ensure their effectiveness in the most competitive markets. Apart from being a record label, booking agent, exporter of Chilean music and publisher of music with special attention to the audiovisual industry, Discos Río Bueno also fabricates vinyls. The company has recently taken charge of a "Music Fund 2012" to set up a vinyl factory - an important step for the national music scene. IMI Chile brings together six key companies in the Chilean independent music scene. Between them, they have released the music of over 50 Chilean bands. The association represents these bands in dealings with the principal authorities in Chile, as well as public and private companies working in music and culture.
