Land to Space Development – WBAF Initiative

Under the Landstronaut Global Foundation

​

Who We Are

The Landstronaut Global Foundation (LGF) serves as a bridge between terrestrial development and space-based opportunities. Through our WBAF (World Business Angel Investment Forum) Initiative, we design inclusive and practical pathways that connect land-based infrastructure, industries, and communities to the emerging space economy.

We align commercial, scientific, and policy-driven frameworks that enable the transition from smart cities to orbital hubs, lunar habitats, and interplanetary commerce.

Our work is rooted in the belief that space development must deliver tangible benefits to people on Earth—from sustainability and education to job creation and long-term prosperity.

Our Slogan

“From Land to Space, Together.”

​

Mission

To create a globally inclusive framework that empowers nations, industries, and communities to participate in land-to-space development, ensuring equal access to opportunities, capital, and knowledge in the growing space economy.

​

Vision

A world where every region (developed and emerging) can connect its terrestrial capabilities to space-based infrastructure, markets, and governance, fostering a shared path to sustainability, resilience, and prosperity.

 

Core Initiatives of WBAF-US  Land to Space Development

​

1. Land-to-Space Infrastructure Mapping

We provide strategic blueprints for transitioning local infrastructure: smart cities, transport hubs, ports, and energy systems—into space-compatible systems that align with global standards for space development.

​

2. Space Capital Inclusion Platform

Creating data-driven, inclusive investment models that harmonize international tax credits, angel investor protections, and cross-border data room standards to accelerate responsible space capital flows.

 

3. Allied Co-Investment Corridors

Establishing bilateral and multilateral cooperation corridors between allied markets, ensuring alignment on:

• IP protection

• AML/KYC compliance

• Export control & screening

• Dispute resolution norms

 

4. Global Workforce & Education

Empowering a diverse new generation of “Landstronauts” with technical skills, policy training, and entrepreneurship opportunities to become the backbone of space-enabled economies.

 

5. Sustainability & ESG Alignment

Integrating the UNSDGs into all stages of land-to-space development, from climate-smart infrastructure to ethical mining of space resources, ensuring responsibility and accountability in frontier industries.

Why WBAF Matters

The global space economy is projected to surpass $1.8 trillion by 2035. However, without inclusive frameworks, many regions and industries risk being excluded from economic growth, jobs, and partnerships.

The WGAF Initiative under the Landstronaut Global Foundation ensures that land-based economies, especially in emerging markets, are not left behind. We aim to create shared prosperity by connecting land industries to space markets—from satellite-enabled agriculture to lunar resource supply chains.
