Why Helsinki?
Why Now
Helsinki was selected by Space Economic Forum LLC for its infrastructure, accessibility, venue capability, and broader host city fit.
Located in Finland, recognized as the happiest country in the world and a global leader in sustainability, Helsinki offers a strong setting for serious international convening and long-term partnership building.
Messukeskus provides the scale and operational flexibility required for the forum’s multi-format design and will serve as the central venue for a program expected to bring together public and private sector participants from across the international space economy.
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.
