Him MSME Fest 2026: Where Innovation Meets Tradition
Himachal Pradesh is gearing up for a grand start to the Him MSME Fest 2026 on January 3, with Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, Industries Minister Harshwardhan Chauhan, and other dignitaries inaugurating the much-awaited event.
The opening day will shine a spotlight on entrepreneurship through the Startup Awards and Felicitation Ceremony, honouring both emerging and established startups that have turned bold ideas into thriving enterprises despite limited resources. Officials say the awards are meant not just to celebrate achievements, but to inspire young dreamers to embrace innovation, risk-taking, and self-reliance.
But the festival isn’t only about business—it’s also about culture. As the sun sets, the stage will come alive with a cultural evening featuring Himachal’s renowned folk artists. Through vibrant music and dance, they will remind audiences that the state’s progress is deeply rooted in its traditions and values, not just industrial growth.
The inaugural day promises a rare blend of business vision and cultural heritage, offering entrepreneurs, investors, and the public a chance to experience both inspiration and entertainment on one platform. With innovation celebrated alongside the rich cultural spirit of Himachal, the festival is expected to set the tone for a future where industry and tradition grow hand in hand.
