As a public corporation, the Leipzig Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in addition to representing commercial interests and voluntary service tasks, performs mandatory public tasks. This includes, among other things, the organization and monitoring of vocational (training) including examinations.

The work of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce is determined by the general assembly, the "entrepreneurial parliament" democratically elected by the members. It decides on questions that are of fundamental importance for the chamber's commercial economy. This is done in order to promote the economy as a whole and to take account of the economic interests of individual branches of industry in a balanced manner.
