The Business Hub at KOSMOS 2026

With the KOSMOS Festival 2026, a new participation format for companies is launching in Chemnitz: the Business Hub. This gives companies, institutions, and business-related stakeholders the opportunity to actively engage with the festival and interact with citizens, professionals, creatives, and other companies.

The Business Hub aims to showcase the ideas, innovations, and future-oriented topics driving the regional economy. Instead of traditional promotional appearances, the focus is on connection, dialogue, and co-creation. Companies can present their projects, products, technologies, or social initiatives and discuss the future of work, the economy, and community life with festival attendees.

This new format is part of the KOSMOS concept of connecting people from different fields and bringing new perspectives to light. Companies are not merely viewed as sponsors, but as active co-creators of the festival. The goal is to make the economy tangible while simultaneously forging new connections with professionals, partners, and the urban community.

The response to the Business Hub has already been very positive. Numerous companies have expressed interest in participating in the 2026 festival. As a result, the Business Hub is evolving into an important platform where business, society, and culture can engage in dialogue.
