SEF at Messukeskus
The European Gateway to the Moon
Where the Cis-Lunar future takes physical form. Experience the Space Economic Forum at Finland’s premier conference and exhibition hub, featuring over 58,000 square meters (~625,000 sq ft) of high-tech collaborative space
The inaugural Space Economic Forum (SEF) 2026 will be hosted at one of the world’s top venues, the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre (Messukeskus) in Helsinki, Finland.
The forum will take place from December 1–5, 2026, beginning with a Welcome Reception, followed by three core working days (December 2–4), and concluding with a formal Awards Gala on December 5.
The selection of Helsinki also reflects the growing weight of Finland’s space ecosystem. Finland has emerged as one of Europe’s more dynamic space economies. The country’s ecosystem has been shaped by the Aalto pipeline, strengthened by research institutions such as VTT and the Finnish Meteorological Institute, and reinforced by Finland’s January 2025 signing of the Artemis Accords and a significant increase in its ESA contribution.
