Space Economic Forum

What Space Economic Forum does

Space Economic Forum (SEF) is a privately held event and convening platform organized under the auspices of Titans Space Industries Inc. and structured to operate as a stand-alone corporation headquartered in Orlando, Florida. The company's flagship product is the inaugural Space Economic Forum 2026, a five-day annual gathering scheduled for December 1–5, 2026 at the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre (Messukeskus), with an expected attendance of 2,000+ international delegates and 100+ speakers across five program tracks covering the cis-lunar economy, resource sovereignty, multi-planetary governance, human resilience, and frontier industrialization.

SEF is positioned as a 'World Economic Forum for space' — a working forum rather than a traditional technology conference — focused on execution, coordination, and capital deployment across the global space economy. The offering combines Layer 1 executive dialogue and proceedings with Layer 2 public-facing programming through the Titans Space Academy (TSA) Nexus and the Cosmic Curriculum. Supporting products include the SEF Expo (a marketplace for space technology exhibitors), the Cosmic Curriculum (an educational and workforce readiness pathway), and the TSA Nexus (an astronaut engagement and family-inclusive public environment).

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: Full Access and Expo-only delegate ticket sales, corporate sponsorships at multiple tiers, and SEF Expo exhibitor booth fees. Distribution runs through SEF26.com online registration, structured B2B invitation campaigns targeting CEOs, government officials, sovereign wealth funds, and investors, and partner/sponsor referral channels. Key institutional partners include Messukeskus (host venue), N.S. Lachman LLC (organizing partner), VTT, the Finnish Meteorological Institute, Aalto University, ESA, and Artemis Accords signatories. Founded in 2025, SEF currently has 11-50 employees and no disclosed external funding rounds; the company is preparing for its first event and has not yet recognized revenue.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• NewSpace Conference: Hosted by the Space Frontier Foundation, NewSpace Conference focuses on the entrepreneurial and commercial space sector. Compares to SEF in its emphasis on emerging-market dialogue but is smaller and less institutionally anchored.
• Summit for Space Sustainability: Secure World Foundation's Summit for Space Sustainability is an annual high-level forum on space sustainability, governance, and policy. Comparable to SEF's governance and policy tracks but narrower in scope and more policy-only.

Broad incumbents

• Satellite Show / SATELLITE Conference & Exhibition: Organized by Access Intelligence, the SATELLITE Conference & Exhibition is a long-running major U.S. satellite and space conference with strong government and commercial attendance. Comparable to SEF in audience composition and expo-driven revenue model.
• International Astronautical Congress (IAC): Organized by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), IAC is the world's premier annual space conference, rotating globally and drawing tens of thousands of attendees including heads of agencies, industry leaders, and academics. SEF's cis-lunar economic focus overlaps with IAC's increasingly policy-oriented content.
• Space Symposium: Space Symposium, hosted by the Space Foundation in Colorado Springs, is the largest annual U.S. space conference and a direct comparator for SEF's executive-convening model. It attracts space industry leadership, government officials, and international delegations, and has decades of institutional credibility that SEF must overcome.
• World Economic Forum (Davos): The World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos is the explicit inspiration and business-model analog for SEF — a high-level convening of heads of state, CEOs, and thought leaders for economic and policy dialogue. SEF is positioning itself as the space-economy version of the WEF model.

Direct peers

• SpaceCom (Space Commerce Conference and Exposition): SpaceCom is an annual U.S. conference focused on the commercial space industry, bringing together industry, government, and investors to discuss market opportunities. Comparable audience overlap with SEF's investor and executive segments.
• World Satellite Business Week: Euroconsult's World Satellite Business Week in Paris is the leading annual executive forum focused on the commercial space and satellite economy, attracting C-suite, investors, and government stakeholders. It is the closest direct comparator to SEF's positioning as an economic-and-policy space forum.
• Space Tech Expo: Space Tech Expo is a leading B2B space industry trade show and conference held annually in the U.S. and Europe, with a strong focus on supply chain, manufacturing, and emerging space technologies. Comparable to SEF's expo component and space-technology showcase zones.
• Space Economy Summit: Various space-economy-focused summits convene investors, operators, and policymakers around the commercialization of space. Comparable to SEF in targeting the space-economy investor and operator community with executive-format programming.
