As a regional economic hotspot with a fast-growing population, over 200,000 cross-border workers and concentrated logistics hub activities, Luxembourg has constantly sought after innovative mobility solutions to meet its evolving needs. It has now succeeded in creating a new mobility balance where multiple means of transport – including public solutions as well as private vehicles – are combined into a seamless, digitally supported travel experience. This generates a wealth of innovation opportunities and encourages companies to use the country as a testbed for new mobility solutions for the EU market.
Luxembourg’s approach is unique: while many regions aim to replace car ownership with “mobility as a service” solutions, the country acknowledges the advantages of car ownership and usage. Instead, it facilitates a hybrid model that allows people to smartly combine their cars with public transportation and other mobility services. The focus is on developing an integrated travel experience from first to last mile.
To free up road capacity and offer sustainable transport alternatives, Luxembourg is investing extensively in public transport, notably rail infrastructure and decarbonised bus fleets, and in facilitating multimodality. The country has also put in place infrastructure that facilitates innovation.
Luxembourg aims to further digitalise the transport sector and provide the infrastructure needed for processing and deriving value from mobility data. The country’s digital infrastructure notably includes:
Companies innovating in the field can use this favourable environment to develop targeted mobility solutions for the EU market.
The AutoMobility Campus offers dedicated premises for mobility companies, including a startup incubator hosting innovative ventures. The campus facilitates partnership opportunities with automotive suppliers and access to their R&D infrastructure. It is located in close proximity to a testing facilities open to third parties.
