Around 120 participants attended the kick-off for the KOSMOS Festival 2026 at the Hartmannfabrik on 12 May. Together with the Industrieverein Sachsen 1828 e.V., the Chemnitz Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the Chemnitz Chamber of Crafts and the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 gGmbH, the city of Chemnitz presented ideas and perspectives for the festival.
The focus was on the new business hub as an interactive participation format for companies. It is intended to become a lively place for the future, innovation and encounters. The idea met with great approval: numerous companies have already signalled their interest in participating.
The hub is intended to make economic topics of the future tangible - with a talent street on skilled labour and education, technology demonstrations on future innovations and impulses on the role of the economy for urban development and value creation. The format will be complemented by stage programmes and networking opportunities.
