The Business Hub at KOSMOS 2026

New participation opportunities for companies

Published on June 1, 26

With the KOSMOS Festival 2026, a new, open participatory format for businesses is taking shape in Chemnitz: the Business Hub. It offers companies, institutions, and business-related stakeholders the opportunity to get actively involved and engage in direct dialogue with citizens, skilled workers, creative professionals, and other businesses.

The Business Hub showcases the ideas, innovations, and future-oriented topics driving the regional economy. The focus is on encounters, dialogue, and co-creation—not traditional promotional appearances. Companies can present their projects, products, technologies, or social initiatives and discuss the future of work, the economy, and community life with festival visitors.

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

The response has already been overwhelming: numerous companies have expressed their interest. The Business Hub is thus evolving into an important platform where business, society, and culture come together in dialogue.

How can companies get involved?

Companies have the opportunity to actively participate with formats, ideas, demonstrations, hands-on activities, technologies, or contributions to the dialogue. Registration is via the participation form: https://lnkd.in/d--PH_c6
