Brochure (PDF)

The launch of a company is a vibrant journey, the ultimate aim for the entrepreneur
being to achieve a vision that has been nurtured for months. It is the moment when
abstract ideas turn into a concrete and tangible venture. Choosing the entrepreneurial
path is thus a way of constantly developing new ideas.


In these endeavors, preparation should not be left to chance, and the entrepreneur
most not solely rely on initial intuition and passion. Preparing a business launch is very
similar to the process of gardening, where a plant can only thrive through consistent
care and the incorporation of essential ingredients at the right moment, that foster
fertile ground. Indeed, no business idea can be transformed into a tangible venture
without the application of key managerial practices and without following several
regulatory steps, which are crucial for a successful launch.


Just like in the process of growing a plant, from the initial germination of an idea
to the eventual establishment of a company, each administrative milestone must be
carefully considered. The flourishing of a business account opening is one of those
key milestones, to be undertaken in collaboration with a reliable banking partner.
To this end, bank advisors are essential partners, as your future success is tied to
theirs. That being said, it is important to keep in mind that banking professionals can
only operate within a certain legal framework made of constraints and obligations.
Being aware of those policies and regulations will help you move into this next
important step, while fostering a strong and enduring relationship with your banker.
For the purpose of facilitating your progression towards a bank account opening, the
House of Entrepreneurship of the Chamber of Commerce and the ABBL (Luxembourg’s
Banking Association) Foundation for Financial Literacy have jointly designed a practical
step-by-step guide dedicated to new business leaders.

Focus on Southeast Asia - Connecting SEA businesses and investors with global markets

6 October 2021

Tuesday 12 October - 3 PM Singapore time

Southeast Asia’s economic integration continues to contribute to the region’s emerging position as a global growth driver.

Today ASEAN represents a dynamic market, home to more than 650 million people, a larger population than the EU, with 10 economies at different stages of socio-economic development, but all sharing immense growth potential. ASEAN is a major global hub of manufacturing and trade, as well as one of the fastest-growing consumer markets in the world, home to 40 tech unicorns.

The fintech industry is growing rapidly across the region. While Singapore has always been the paragon of the region’s financial sector, neighboring countries are fast catching up. Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Viet Nam are also embarking on local, sustainable and green finance products and solutions in order to green their economies.

As a leading financial center and a pioneer in sustainable finance, Luxembourg is well positioned to address ASEAN’s post-covid recovery needs and its commitments towards green and sustainable growth.

Focus on South-East Asia will explore this nexus, with two panels of financial experts from Luxembourg and Southeast Asia.

Franz Fayot and Sasha Baillie officialise the launch of startupluxembourg.com

6 July 2021

Franz Fayot and Sasha Baillie officialise the launch of startupluxembourg.com at the “Towards the next level“ event

On Monday 5 July 2021, the Minister of the Economy, Franz Fayot, and the CEO of Luxinnovation, Sasha Baillie, officially launched the platform www.startupluxembourg.com to further improve the visibility of the Luxembourg ecosystem internationally, while facilitating networking. The event, organised at Luxexpo the Box, was also the occasion to present the start-ups selected for the 11th edition of Fit 4 Start and to award the graduates of the previous edition.

Launched in 2019, Startup Luxembourg is the brand for the ecosystem focusing on young innovative companies in Luxembourg. It aims, through its web platform and social networks, to promote this ecosystem internationally and to facilitate networking and business opportunities.

Supported by the Ministry of the Economy and managed by Luxinnovation, the public initiative Startup Luxembourg serves all players in the ecosystem (start-ups, incubators, research institutes, public organisations, ....). Startup Luxembourg is also the brand under which Luxembourg is represented at international events dedicated to young innovative companies.

"The Luxembourg start-up ecosystem has grown considerably in recent years, both in terms of the number of start-ups and in terms of programmes and support measures," said the Minister of the Economy Franz Fayot.

"Our ecosystem has reached a certain level of maturity and it is now the right time to focus our efforts on promoting it beyond our borders," added Sasha Baillie, the CEO of Luxinnovation. The Startup Luxembourg brand now has 17,000 followers on its three social networks (LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter) and has already represented Luxembourg several times at international trade fairs such as Viva Technology in Paris and the Web Summit in Lisbon.

 A reflection of the Luxembourg start-up ecosystem

The main objective of the www.startupluxembourg.com platform, which was officially launched today, is to highlight the ecosystem and its players, as well as to bring together all the latest news about start-ups in Luxembourg. At the international level, it serves as a lever to highlight all the advantages that the country can offer to young innovative companies. It also enables direct contact with incubators, start-ups and institutional players.

At the national level, the platform also aims to facilitate networking and business opportunities. Based on a very advanced design and user experience, the site aims to best reflect the specificities of the Luxembourg ecosystem. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a prime location from which to access the European market, with an open and international economy by nature, easy and quick access to private and public decision makers, a digital agenda clearly outlined by the government and a unique quality of life.

Fit 4 Start in the spotlight

The event was also an opportunity to revisit the Fit 4 Start programme, the 11th edition of which was announced in early June.

Launched by the Ministry of the Economy and managed by Luxinnovation in collaboration with Technoport, Luxembourg City Incubator and Luxembourg Space Agency, the Fit 4 Start programme helps young innovative companies to launch from Luxembourg, transforming innovative ideas and project leaders‘ strong will to succeed into companies with a strong growth potential. Initially open only to start-ups in the ICT sector, Fit 4 Start now also targets companies active in health and space technologies.

The 15 start-ups selected at the beginning of June for the 11th edition pitched their solutions in person or online. These 15 start-ups will benefit from six months of specialised support, as well as individual funding of €50,000 from the Ministry of the Economy, with the possibility of receiving an additional €100,000 if they successfully complete the programme and manage to raise private capital.

A round table discussion with former participants looked back on the main developments that have contributed to the reputation of Fit 4 Start. In 10 editions over a period of 5 years, the programme has seen more than 1,800 start-ups apply and 78 follow the different coaching sessions. The event ended with the graduation of the 16 successful applicants from the 10th edition.

Thailand lists its sovereign sustainability bond on the Luxembourg Green Stock Exchange

28 April 2021

On 28 April 2021 in a virtual Ring the Bell ceremony attended by Thailand’s Minister of Finance Arkom Termpittayapaisith and with a message from Luxembourg’s Minister of Finance Pierre Gramegna, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE) welcomed the Kingdom of Thailand as a new issuer at the exchange, and celebrated the listing of Thailand’s pioneering sustainability bond. The sustainability bond, which is worth THB 50 billion (approximately EUR 1.3 billion), is displayed on the Luxembourg Green Exchange (LGX), the world’s leading platform for sustainable securities.

“As the world continues to deal with the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic, sovereign sustainability bonds, such as the one we welcome to LuxSE and LGX today, are crucial to securing a sustainable recovery in countries affected by the crisis. It is our great honour to be chosen as the international listing venue by Thailand, and we look forward to contributing to enhancing the visibility of the Thai sustainable finance market on the global stage,” commented Julie Becker, CEO of LuxSE and Founder of LGX.

Rebuilding sustainably

In August 2020, Thailand became one of the first sovereigns in the world to issue a sustainability bond. The 15-year inaugural bond issuance paved the way for two more tranches of the bond in the following months, bringing the total amount raised to THB 50 billion. The first and third tranches of Thailand’s sustainability bond finance clean infrastructure projects such as the construction of the Bangkok MRT Orange line, while the second tranche raised financing for public health expenditures and support to small and medium-sized enterprises hit hard by the pandemic.

“The issuance of Sustainability Bonds shows Thailand’s continuous commitment to deal with climate change following the Paris Agreement and support the UN Sustainable Development Goals to combat poverty, inequality and environmental degradation by 2030. We strongly believe that the issuance of Sustainability Bonds by Thailand will contribute to the development of the sustainable finance market domestically as well as internationally, and foster international partnership towards sustainable development,” said Thailand’s Minister of Finance, Mr Arkom Termpittayapaisith.

Award-winning labelled bond

The sustainability bond was issued under the Kingdom of Thailand’s Sustainable Finance Framework, published in July 2020, and received a second party opinion from Sustainalytics. The bond is aligned with international standards for sustainability bonds and was named Asia Domestic Bond of the Year at the IFR Asia awards 2020. The bond was initially listed on Thailand’s Bond Electronic Exchange and the sovereign issuer is now opting for a dual listing on LuxSE to strengthen access to the international investor community.

“The listing of the Kingdom of Thailand’s sovereign sustainability bond on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange underlines the good cooperation that exists between Luxembourg and Thailand. Thailand was a pioneer in issuing a sustainable bond framework last year and Luxembourg followed in its footsteps shortly after. I would like to congratulate Thailand for choosing Luxembourg and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange as its international listing venue,” stated Luxembourg Minister of Finance Pierre Gramegna.

First Thai issuer on LGX

By bringing its sustainability bond to LuxSE, the Kingdom of Thailand also becomes the first Thai issuer to display a security on LGX since the platform was launched in September 2016.

As of March 2021, LGX displays over 960 green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds totalling more than EUR 480 billion, including sovereign bonds issued by Luxembourg, Poland, Chile, Ecuador and Mexico. This also marks the first listing from a Thai issuer on LuxSE since 2001, giving the parties additional reasons to celebrate.

Luxembourg plans to boost technology investment

24 February 2021

Diversification is “crucial, especially for a smaller economy like ours that is open to the world”, Mr. Gramegna, the Minister of Finance, says. But innovation within existing sectors is as important as branching out into new ones, he adds. “We have tried to diversify by building on our existing strengths. Our steel industry has not disappeared. We are still a major producer of specialised steel.”

When one quarter of your economy depends on financial services you want to diversify. But because the financial sector has adjusted so well, modernised, reinvented itself, it has kept pace with the endeavours and investments in other sectors.” The minister says as soon as he took over the finance portfolio seven and half years ago he identified the potential of financial technology for Luxembourg. “And when I started talking about that people in the country looked at me in surprise. What is he talking about? Why is he not talking about banks and investment funds? Today I think everybody has integrated the importance of fintech in transforming financial services.”

The government set up a public-private fintech accelerator, the Luxembourg House of Financial Technology, with some 80 companies and a similar number of affiliated ones. New technology ventures are seeking to build on niche sectors where Luxembourg is already a strong player, such as fund management, regulatory compliance and insurance.

A Luxembourg mobile operator has developed technology that can identify scams

23 February 2021

The Luxembourg’s telecoms sector has produced a tool to fight cyber attacks over telecoms networks, including suspicious text messages sent to defraud consumers.

The software, which monitors telecoms networks for signs of intrusion, was developed by Cyberforce, a division of Post Luxembourg, the country’s integrated telecoms, financial services and post office company. Though it was initially created to protect Post Luxembourg’s own banking and telecoms customers — including EU institutions such as the European Court of Justice and the European Investment Bank — Cyberforce is now selling the tool to external customers, including larger peers in the telecoms sector. Cyberforce, which was launched in 2018, is a product of the tiny market that Post Luxembourg serves. For small telecoms companies like Post Luxembourg, the only way to grow is to develop innovative new services that they can sell to larger peers. The need to find new sources of revenue became more pressing after Reding’s clampdown, which hit operators in small countries dependent on tourism and business travellers hard.

Luxembourg wants to turn hydrogen green

22 February 2021

Hydrogen is often seen as a source of clean energy. But most of the world’s supply of this potentially plentiful gas, which can be used to power everything from cars to heating systems, is produced with energy from fossil fuels.

European Space Resources Innovation Center to be established in Luxembourg

21 January 2021

Luxembourg just entered a strategic partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA) to create a "European Space Resources Innovation Centre", called ESRIC in abbreviated form. Unique of its kind, ESRIC aims to become an internationally recognised centre of expertise for scientific, technical, business and economic aspects related to the use of space resources for human and robotic exploration, as well as for a future in-space economy.

Based in Luxembourg, ESRIC will partner with public and private international players in this field to create a hub of excellence for space resources in Europe. The creation of ESRIC was part of the Luxembourg government initiative SpaceResources.lu launched in 2016 to establish an ecosystem favorable to the development of activities related to the exploration and use of space resources.

ESRIC's activities will focus on space resources research and development, drawing together excellence from public research and its facilities, with private sector initiative and efficiency. The centre will also contribute to economic growth by supporting commercial initiatives and start-ups, offering a business incubation component and enabling technology transfer between space and non-space industries.
