SGAC Finland
National Points of Contact Finland
Welcome to the page of SGAC in Finland! We want to inform and connect the future leaders of the space industry and inspire students and young professionals to pursue a career in the emerging Finnish space industry.
Finland is an active member of the European space community. While the Finnish space community’s focus has so far been on cutting-edge academic research at world-leading universities and contributing to critical systems on European Space Agency programmes since the 1980s, there is currently an exciting New Space industry emerging. With our ambitious national space strategy of becoming the most attractive and agile space business environment by 2025, it is the perfect time to get involved in Finnish space efforts!
To be kept up to date, please join our mailing list or the #finland channel in the SGAC Slack. If you’re interested in getting involved in the organisation, please contact the NPoCs via email (see above)!
