Supporting the twin transition to a more digital and sustainable economy is a key priority for Luxembourg. The demand for sustainable solutions is driven by projects with a cradle-to-cradle approach and the ongoing redevelopment of brownfield sites into eco-friendly districts. Luxembourg also focuses on smart mobility solutions such as clean transportation, shared mobility and intelligent transport systems.
Luxembourg provides an ideal platform for companies to target clients across the EU and set up pilot installations and demonstration centres that are easily accessible for onsite visits. The country offers direct access to the German, French and Dutch-speaking markets as well as to the wider European continent.

Luxembourg’s advanced digital infrastructure, including a business-oriented supercomputer and a national data exchange platform, enables precise, resource-efficient sustainable solutions powered by data. Companies here enjoy excellent opportunities to innovate with cutting-edge digital technologies and develop data-driven sustainable solutions.
The country is also a leader in developing data-related standards that will shape future climate technologies and circular economy business models. TerraMatters’ Product Circularity Datasheet Luxembourg (PCDS) provides an innovative traceability solution through a “virtuous circle” model, where raw materials and products are designed to be reused, recycled or regenerated.
Several organisations in Luxembourg are open to industry collaborations in sustainability:
Luxembourg research centres also have expertise related to the energy transition.
Luxembourg plays a leading role in using finance to achieve sustainable goals. The Luxembourg Green Exchange, the world’s first and leading platform exclusively for sustainable securities, lists almost half of the world’s green bonds and an estimated third of sustainable and social bonds. The independent and international Luxembourg Finance Labelling Agency (LuxFLAG) awards a recognisable Responsible Investment label to investment vehicles. Luxembourg’s sustainable finance strategy is implemented through the Luxembourg Sustainable Finance Initiative.
International companies coming to Luxembourg benefit from a range of incubation options. The Innovation Hub Dudelange, specialising in ecotechnologies, offers greentech startups flexible workspaces, coaching and other support. Other incubators that host companies with cleantech dimensions notably include Paul Wurth Incub and the Luxembourg City Incubator.
