The SEF, inspired by the World Economic Forum in Davos, will be the premier global gathering for leaders shaping the space and lunar economy — moving beyond technology alone to address market dynamics, investment opportunities, and policy frameworks.

November 30 – December 5, 2026 in Helsinki, Finland. Designed as a platform for representation, collaboration, investment, and strategic discussion at a global scale.

To elevate key space and aerospace stakeholders, strengthen public–private partnerships, accelerate innovation, attract investment, and support the responsible and sustainable development of the global space economy.

Nations, institutions, companies, and mission-driven organizations present plans, represent their space ecosystems, and engage a global audience of decision-makers — all in one forum.

The inaugural Space Economic Forum in Helsinki, Finland, will convene industry CEOs, government officials, investors, entrepreneurs, scientists, researchers, thought leaders, and astronauts from across the global space ecosystem.

Governments, international organizations, academic institutions, startups, and affiliated industry participants will engage in meaningful dialogue and collaboration that extends beyond discussion into tangible partnerships.

The Titans Space Academy Nexus will serve as a central showcase of the forum, combining astronaut engagement, family participation, educational programming, and affiliated exhibits that inspire future generations.

Developed by Titans Space Industries, the Cosmic Curriculum promotes mission-driven learning, systems thinking, teamwork, ethical responsibility, and workforce readiness to support the future space economy.

The Space Economic Forum is designed around two interconnected layers that combine executive dialogue with public engagement, creating a comprehensive and inclusive event experience.

Executive dialogue, formal sessions, policy discussions, investment conversations, and track-based outcomes are concentrated within the SEF's primary proceedings and leadership forums.

Child inclusivity, astronaut engagement, educational activities, exhibits, open collaboration spaces, and affiliated showcases form the forum's central public-facing experience.

Preferred hotel rates, travel coordination, registration support, security services, medical assistance, childcare solutions, and interpretation services ensure a seamless international delegate experience.

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

This framework is designed to establish the Space Economic Forum as the definitive global platform for shaping the future of the space and lunar economy through collaboration, innovation, and strategic leadership.

A structured venue selection process was undertaken to identify the host city and venue best suited to the Space Economic Forum.

The evaluation focused on the ability to support a large-scale international gathering of more than 2,000 attendees, including plenary programming, parallel sessions, exposition space, networking environments, and family-inclusive public-facing experiences.

Key criteria included venue capacity, international accessibility, local transportation, accommodation options, audiovisual and connectivity infrastructure, operational support services, host-city credibility, and overall commercial feasibility.

Through this process, Helsinki, Finland emerged as a strong fit for the SEF's trend and policy-setting ambitions.

Helsinki was selected for its infrastructure, accessibility, venue capability, and broader host-city fit. Recognized globally for sustainability, innovation, and quality of life, the city provides an exceptional environment for international convening.

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 cis-lunar space economy.

The forum will feature a dynamic program designed to facilitate high-level discussions, knowledge sharing, and actionable outcomes.

1. Morning: Keynote addresses, plenary sessions with high-profile panels.
2. Mid-day: Parallel breakout sessions, workshops, and deep dives into specific topics.
3. Afternoon: Continuation of sessions, dedicated networking time, and expo visits.
4. Evening: Networking receptions, dinner, cultural events.

Smaller, interactive sessions for in-depth exploration of specific challenges and opportunities.

1. A vibrant marketplace showcasing cutting-edge technologies, services, and investment opportunities.
2. Dedicated zones for different segments of the space economy (e.g., Longevity and Health R&D, Lunar Village with Habitats, Orbital Innovations, Space Finance Hub, Astronaut Meeting Hub).
3. The expo environment will also feature interactive displays, simulations, Titans Space Industries model showcases, and the Titans Space Academy (TSA) Nexus as a central public-facing experience.

The SEF program is organized across five core tracks, each designed to anchor discussion, coordination, and visible stakeholder engagement across a distinct area of the space economy.

Opens with a discussion on structuring the cislunar economy through interoperable infrastructure, market primitives, logistics architecture, and coordination mechanisms needed to support scalable economic activity between Earth and Moon.

Starts with talks on standardizing the cislunar water market by defining market-grade purity thresholds, legal ownership transfer, contamination liability, and trade-ready custody systems for lunar water.

Discussions on a lunar deconfliction and safety-zone corridor, including baseline safety zones, right-of-way conventions, proximity operations, notification pathways, and conflict-escalation protocols for operators working in proximity on the Moon.

Centered on healthcare and human adaptation functions required for sustained frontier operations, including standards gaps, emergency-care pathways, medical escalation, and the role of robotics, AI, and digital health systems.

Focused on capital stack design for cislunar industrialization, focusing on how sovereign capital, venture capital, export credit, and industrial finance can be structured to support scalable frontier infrastructure.

Meticulous planning will ensure a seamless and comfortable experience for all attendees, particularly given the international nature of the forum.

1. International Delegates: Collaboration with airlines for preferred rates; dedicated airport welcome desks.
2. Local Transportation: Shuttle services between official hotels, the venue, and social events. Integration with public transport options.

SEF's marketing and outreach approach is designed to position the forum not simply as an event, but as a platform where the global space economy is financed, structured, and advanced.

The official SEF website (SEF26.com) will serve as the primary information hub for program, speakers, sponsors, registration, and logistics. LinkedIn will function as the leading outreach platform for institutional visibility, speaker announcements, investor engagement, and leadership-driven authority content, supported by broader social media activity across X, YouTube, and Instagram.

3. Visa Support: Providing necessary basic documentation and support for international attendees requiring visas.

A tiered PR strategy will be used to build top-funnel authority across financial, industry, and regional media. Messaging will emphasize the economic architecture of space, cislunar infrastructure, capital formation, and the transition from exploration to industrialization.

Targeted outreach will be conducted to government officials, investors, industry leaders, astronauts, and strategic partners through structured invitation campaigns, speaker pipelines, and sponsor and partner engagement tracks.

Marketing efforts will be reinforced through co-branded announcements, institutional collaboration, joint outreach campaigns, and aligned communications designed to expand reach and strengthen SEF's position as a high-value global convening platform.
