Health technologies

Luxembourg is home to a young but rapidly developing healthtech ecosystem that benefits from the country’s excellent digital infrastructure and support to launch innovative solutions in the EU market.

On the road to personalised medicine

Luxembourg is consistently nurturing health technology innovation and stimulating the shift towards personalised medicine. The country has a comprehensive ecosystem where innovative healthtech companies can flourish, interact with public research and hospitals, and tailor their offering to the requirements and regulations of the EU market.

Internationally renowned biomedical research centres and a growing community of healthtech companies contribute to the focus on personalised medicine in Luxembourg. Many businesses have a digital focus and benefit from the favourable environment for data-driven innovation.

Data-based health innovation 

Health technology companies in Luxembourg focus in particular on three fields that are at the heart of personalised medicine as they enable the development of data-based decision-making support tools as well as new types of diagnostic tests.

Digital health
Digital medical devices
In-vitro diagnostics

Support to access the EU healthtech market 

Luxembourg aims to be the natural choice for companies looking to gain European market access for their digital health solutions. To achieve this, a set of initiatives addressing specific company needs have been set up.
  • The healthtech track of the accelerator programme Fit 4 Start offers startups from Luxembourg and abroad coaching, seed funding and access to key networks that can help them succeed with their market launch and growth
  • Fit 4 Innovation – Healthtech Market helps companies developing digital medical devices define their regulatory roadmap to obtain the CE marking that is compulsory for commercialisation in the EU
  • Joint calls for projects notably co-fund clinical investigation projects involving companies, research organisations and hospitals, which aim to demonstrate the performance, safety, cost efficiency and patient benefits of digital medical devices

Optimised healthtech premises available

Healthtech companies that open offices in Luxembourg can access physical hosting infrastructures adapted to their needs.

The House of Biohealth offers over 17,000 m2 of office and lab space to both established and startup companies. It has all the necessary permissions for wet labs, which is a considerable advantage for resident companies.

Several other incubators, such as Technoport and the Luxembourg City Incubator, also host numerous healthtech startups.

The forthcoming HE:AL Campus, currently under construction, will be dedicated to health and life science innovation. Located between the House of Biohealth, a future major hospital centre servicing the south of Luxembourg, and the nearby City of Sciences that hosts the University of Luxembourg and several other research institutes, the campus will be a geographical bridge between research, innovation and the medical sector.

Health research excellence 

The healthtech sector benefits from Luxembourg’s research expertise in health and biomedicine, thanks to considerable investments made over the past decades. Key public research organisations include the following:
  • The translational research centre Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH) specialises in precision medicine with immune-related diseases and cancer as its main application areas
  • The Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) combines expertise from a broad spectrum of disciplines to study the brain and its diseases. The centre is internationally renowned for its research on neurogenerative diseases
  • The Digital Medicine Group, initiated by the LCSB, the LIH and the Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg, aims to understand how patient-centred, personalised healthcare technologies can be tailored to patient needs and integrated into existing healthcare structures and procedures
