Space Innovation Forum 2026
23-24 September, Kiruna, SE.
This year’s Space Innovation Forum focuses on Nordic collaboration and how we can build stronger capacity, share knowledge and create new opportunities together across the space ecosystem.
Taking place in Kiruna on 23–24 September, the forum brings together industry, research, public stakeholders and emerging talent for two days of dialogue, insight and collaboration. The programme includes perspectives from national space agencies, defence, industry, research, innovation support actors and companies working across the Nordic space sector.
Whether you are a startup founder, policymaker, researcher, engineer, student, investor, or simply curious about the future of space, Space Innovation Forum is a place to exchange ideas, explore new opportunities and strengthen connections across the Nordic space ecosystem.
Space Investment Days is taking place on 22–23 September in connection with the forum. Together, the two events create additional opportunities for exchange, networking and new perspectives during the days in Kiruna.
