A GATHERING OF TITANS
Empowering the Cis-Lunar Space Economy
Space Economic Forum (SEF) Helsinki, Finland
DECEMBER 01 - DECEMBER 05 , 2026
Executive Summary:
Space Economic Form
The SEF, inspired by the World Economic Forum in Davos, will be the premier global gathering for leaders shaping the space and lunar economy.
Scheduled for the week of November 30 to December 5, 2026 in Helsinki, the SEF is designed as a platform for representation, collaboration, investment, and strategic discussion, moving beyond technology alone to address market dynamics, investment opportunities, and the policy frameworks required to support responsible growth in the sector.
The core mission of the SEF is to elevate key space and aerospace stakeholders, strengthen public-private partnership, accelerate innovation, attract investment, and support the responsible and sustainable development of the space economy.
A crucial element of the SEF is its role as a platform for nations, institutions, companies, and mission-driven organizations to present their plans and projects, represent their space and aerospace ecosystems, and engage a global audience of decision-makers.
Executive Summary:
Space Economic Form (SEF)
The inaugural Space Economic Forum in Helsinki, Finland, will convene industry CEOs, government officials, investors, entrepreneurs, scientists, researchers, and thought leaders from across the global space ecosystem, with astronauts adding a distinctive and inspiring dimension to the event.
Stakeholder engagement will be broad, including governments, international organizations, academic institutions, startups, and affiliated industry participants whose presence helps translate discussion into visible collaboration.
The Titans Space Academy (TSA) Nexus will serve as a core showpiece of the SEF. More than a children’s zone, the Nexus is a central public-facing environment where astronaut engagement, family inclusion, educational programming, and
affiliated showcases come together to demonstrate that the future of space should be designed with the next generation in mind.
Alongside the TSA Nexus, Titans Space Industries (TSI) is also advancing the Cosmic Curriculum, a progressive educational and readiness pathway designed to support participation in the future space workforce.
Built around mission-driven learning, systems thinking, teamwork, ethical responsibility, and analogue experience, it reflects the SEF’s broader view that the future space economy will require a durable human capital pipeline, not only infrastructure, policy, and investment.
Executive Summary:
Space Economic Forum
The SEF is designed across two integrated layers.
Layer 1 is the SEF Stage and Proceedings, where executive dialogue, formal sessions, and track- based outcomes are concentrated.
Layer 2 is the TSI/TSA Nexus, where child inclusivity, astronaut engagement, exhibits, open seating, and affiliated showcases are centralized as part of the event’s core public experience.
Meticulous logistical planning will support international delegates through preferred hotel rates, travel coordination, registration, security, medical support, child care, and interpretation services for key sessions.
This framework is designed to establish the SEF as a definitive platform for shaping the future of the space and lunar economy.
The SEF’s dynamic program will feature daily keynotes, high-profile panel discussions, interactive breakout sessions, and curated stakeholder engagement across five core tracks:
T1: Architecting a Seamless Cis-Lunar Economy
T2: Securing Resource Sovereignty Beyond Earth
T3: Defining Rules for a Multi-Planetary Society
T4: Ensuring Human Resilience at the Frontier
T5: Unlocking the Next Industrial Revolution

ABOUT THE EVENT OWNER:
TITANS SPACE INDUSTRIES INC.
Titans Space Industries Inc. (TSI) is building more than transportation and orbital infrastructure; it is developing the human, operational, and systems foundation required to support the next phase of the space and lunar economy.
That is what makes TSI a credible organizing force behind the Space Economic Forum. The company’s work spans infrastructure, mission architecture, and crew readiness, with a training philosophy centered on proactive resilience, professional transformation, and mission-ready execution. In TSI’s model, talent is systematically developed into deployable skill, maintained readiness, and effective action under operational pressure.
This combination of infrastructure ambition and operational discipline gives TSI a practical perspective on the market, policy, safety, and human-performance requirements that will shape the future space economy.
- The Space Economic Forum is organized by N.S. Lachman LLC. a Merchant Capital and Corporate Strategy firm, powered by Titans Space Academy, and hosted by Titans Space Astronaut Candidates.
ABOUT THE EVENT OWNER:
TITANS SPACE INDUSTRIES INC.
TSI’s astronaut program reflects that broader philosophy. Training is structured in two phases, beginning with a common professional baseline and progressing into mission-specific preparation, with tailored pathways for experiential, research and development, and expedition and development astronauts. Human behavior and performance are treated as safety-critical systems, and astronaut candidates are developed not only as crew members but as contributors to design review, testing, procedure validation, and mission support.
At the SEF, this philosophy will be visible through TSI’s public-facing presence, including models and showcase environments that connect infrastructure development with the people, training systems, and operational culture required to make frontier activity reliable and scalable. By convening the forum, TSI presents itself not only as a participant in the cis-lunar space economy but as a company working to help build the crews, systems, and coordination model needed to advance it.
