The Luxembourg economy has been growing steadily over the years, continuously outperforming the EU average. Today, as one of only eleven countries worldwide with an AAA rating, Luxembourg has solid macroeconomic fundamentals and offers strong long-term growth possibilities.
Luxembourg has always valued international cooperation. Entrepreneurs who have chosen the Grand Duchy to grow their startups know this better than anyone else.
Over the last decades, Luxembourg has been continually opening up to new ideas, innovating and reinventing its economy by constantly adapting to changes and challenges. Today, Luxembourg is a global financial centre, a rapidly growing European hub for commercial space activities and a pioneer in developing a data-related standard for circular products.
Luxembourg focuses on developing a robust data economy and a startup ecosystem centred on data-driven innovation.
The country's digital infrastructure, which is already outstanding in terms of connectivity, cybersecurity expertise and secure data storage capacities, is being further boosted, by the business-oriented high performance computer (HPC) MeluXina that opened its doors in spring 2021. While most HPCs are foreseen as pure research frameworks, 65% of MeluXina’s capacity is available to start-ups, SMEs and large companies.
Data-driven innovation will revolutionise how we do business and make it possible to deliver solutions with unprecedented speed and flexibility.
