The Space Business Forum
The Space Business Forum is a community of Finnish space operators that meets five times a year. The meetings cover current and future issues in space business and research; technology-related issues, and initiatives and frameworks for international cooperation within the European Space Agency (ESA), the EU and outside Europe. The main contribution of the meetings will be presentations by companies and research organizations, and in particular discussions and networking.
The Space Business Forum serves as an information-sharing platform for the entire Finnish space network. This includes the distribution of official documentation to space actors and, in particular, the communication of industry and research needs to space administrators and international actors.
Participation in the Space Business Forum is free of charge, but the Space Business Forum reserves the right to admit members.
