Frontier Business Consortium Symposium 2026
July 23 @ 13:30 – 17:00
Space development toward the moon, Cis-Lunar, and Mars is becoming increasingly active both domestically and internationally as a “future” market that is expected to develop in the medium to long term. In response to this situation, Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc. and ispace, Inc. launched the “Frontier Business Consortium” at the end of 2016 with the aim of playing a leading role without lagging behind the global trend. Currently, about 50 companies from various industries, from large companies to startups, are participating.
Over the past decade since its establishment, lunar development has seen increasing activity driven by both public and private sector players. In Japan as well, in addition to initiatives such as the Space Strategy Fund, private-sector-led projects are rapidly accelerating.
Against this backdrop of growing global momentum toward commercialization led by private actors, this symposium will look back on the achievements and knowledge accumulated to date, and explore the future vision for the next decade as the field transitions from conceptual planning to implementation and commercialization phases.
We warmly invite companies interested in new space-related business opportunities to participate in this symposium.
