Welcome to the 3. German-Kosovar Economic Forum!
The German-Kosovar Economic Forum is the leading platform for strengthening economic cooperation between Germany and Kosovo.
As Europe reshapes its industrial landscape, businesses are looking for trusted partners, resilient supply chains and new opportunities for growth. The Forum brings together business leaders, investors, policymakers and innovators to turn these opportunities into partnerships.
Over two days, participants engage in high-level discussions, sector-focused investment tracks, structured B2B meetings and practical masterclasses designed to create real business opportunities.
The Forum is built on a simple vision: stronger partnerships create stronger economies. By connecting the right people and ideas, we aim to foster investment, drive innovation and build long-term cooperation between Germany and Kosovo.
Strategic Focus Areas
The 2026 Forum focuses on the industries and economic transformations shaping the future of German-Kosovar cooperation and Europe's evolving industrial landscape.
Digital Transformation & AI
Kosovo's digital ecosystem is among the fastest-growing in the region. This track explores artificial intelligence, digital services, ICT partnerships, cybersecurity, and nearshoring, connecting Kosovo with companies across Germany and Europe.
Energy & Sustainable Infrastructure
Europe's energy transition requires coordinated public and private investment, technological innovation, and regional cooperation. This track addresses renewable energy, energy security, sustainable infrastructure, smart energy systems, and financing for the green transition.
Advanced Manufacturing & Industry
As European industries diversify their supply chains and strengthen regional resilience, this track explores smart manufacturing, automation, supplier development, engineering, and technology transfer between Kosovo and European partners, with a focus on deeper integration into European value chains.
