Future of the craft: New Center for Health and Innovation opened!

Lesachtal, Österreich - On February 27, 2025, an exciting new spring fair will be opened, which is organized by the Future, Handwerk, Industry Gailtal (ZHIG) association. Together with the municipalities of Lesachtal, Kötschach-Mauthen, Dellach and Kirchbach, this event should not only present the local economy, but also offer a platform for innovation and cooperation. Mayor Josef Zoppoth describes the fair as a "great shop window of the regional economy" and expects a rush of visitors and media interest.

The fair comes after the pandeme -related cancellation of the gladly in 2020 and thus describes a fresh start for the region. A central point will be the "Kar-Nische Werkstätte" opened in 2024, which acts as an education, innovation and start-up center. The organizers are already planning for the next regular Gernsmesse in 2027 and want to develop a suitable concept together with the companies. Companies that are interested in the spring fair can contact Victoria Gailer directly.
