Luxembourg is building a marketplace that combines robust data protection with access to world-class technologies, creating a springboard for business in the thriving European market. The objective is to put in place a fully integrated data value chain. The Luxembourg ecosystem enables public and private players to collect, clean, compute and share data as well as to develop, test, geo-localise and launch innovative services.
While each element of the ecosystem individually strong, it is the unique way that Luxembourg combines these strengths that is remarkable. All components are interconnected to provide a seamless customer experience. Data-driven innovation is encouraged, and foreign businesses find fertile ground to enter the European market.
Luxembourg is shaping itself as a cross-border data hub for the European data economy, supporting interoperability and data sharing to strengthen Europe’s global competitiveness.
It plays an active role in GAIA-X, a European initiative aimed at developing a federated and secure data infrastructure, and CLINNOVA, a pioneering European partnership aimed at creating clean health data lakes enabling research with real patient impact.
Data is at the heart of Luxembourg’s research and innovation strategy. Companies have ample opportunities to set up collaborative R&D projects with research centres and benefit from R&D and innovation funding programmes. Public research centres active in the field of data include:
