15 autumn 2025 Accelerating AI and quantum innovation Luxembourg acts as a “living laboratory” for AI, pro- moting responsible applications tailored to local prior- ities. By federating all its stakeholders around a com- mon goal, it aims to become a nation-sized proof of concept demonstrating AI’s transformative potential. Luxembourg also serves as a testbed for companies developing scalable AI solutions for larger markets. A key component of the AI ecosystem is the upcom- ing MeluXina-AI supercomputer. Launching in mid- 2026, it will be purpose-built for AI workloads and offer the resilience and data protection required for sensitive and highly regulated sectors. It will be com- plemented by MeluXina-Q, the national quantum com- puter, which is also expected to become operational in 2026. Together, they will form a hybrid high-perfor- mance computing ecosystem accessible to both com- panies and researchers. A safe haven for sensitive data A distinctive characteristic of Luxembourg is the state’s active role in shaping the digital future. It strategically funds and supports key initiatives such as high-perfor- mance computing and sovereign cloud services. This long-term vision, closely tied to Luxembourg’s politi- cal and societal stability, fosters trust and confidence rarely matched elsewhere. The need for resilience and data security permeates virtually all infrastructure and services. The MeluXi- na supercomputer, for example, is one of the few – if not the only – such machines globally hosted within a top-level Tier IV data centre, which guarantees an ex- ceptionally high standard of security. Building bridges across borders As a central European hub with a strong cross-border orientation, Luxembourg serves as a strategic service point for data sharing among EU member states. It also functions as a gateway to Europe for non-EU players. The country plays an active role in initiatives such as GAIA-X, which aims to create an open, secure and sovereign European data infrastructure to promote the interoperability of data, and CLINNOVA, an inter- national research project advancing precision medi- cine through data federation, standardisation and in- teroperability. With its integrated strengths, forward-looking vision and steadfast commitment to trust and excellence, Lux- embourg stands out as the ideal launchpad for digital innovation and scalable success across Europe.
