Learn about some of the international companies that have recently incorporated in the Grand Duchy and their reasons for choosing Luxembourg. We look forward to opening our office in Luxembourg and en- gaging more deeply with our suppliers across Europe. We chose the country for its significant investments in the space sector, its central location, as well as the government’s support for our long-term vision. David Limp, CEO of Blue Origin Blue Origin Space technologies United States It simply makes sense to be in Luxembourg. In addition to being business-friendly and multicultural, it is strategically located at the crossroads of several countries where we want to do business. The place is buzzing with business energy, and the ecosystem is truly exciting. People here are working together instead of fear- ing competition. Geoffroy Morgan de Rivery, CEO of Brixio Brixio Cloud and cybersecurity Singapore Luxembourg offers a supportive and business-friendly envi- ronment. Businesses are seen as essential building blocks of the economy, and the country actively encourages growth and in- novation. It also provides access to advanced digital infrastruc- ture and is strategically positioned in the heart of Europe, mak- ing it ideal for WEDOS’s international growth. Josef Grill, founder of WEDOS WEDOS IT infrastructure Czech Republic We were truly impressed by Luxembourg’s commitment to digital- isation. We also saw that the support we would receive here was considerably more extensive than in other countries. I have not seen elsewhere the level of cooperation between the government and other stakeholders, acting as one team, to attract foreign com- panies. They treat us as if we were a local business. Donghun Lee, CEO of Code.presso Code.presso Skills assessment and management South Korea For us, Luxembourg is the gateway to Europe. The solid infra- structure and high-capacity network are a huge advantage when leveraging technologies like AI. What’s more, you don’t need to be a large or well-known company to make an impact here. We are just 140 people, but this means that we can be nimble, agile and efficient. Sathish TK, CTO of IQZ Systems IQZ Systems Technology consultancy United States We opened the HQ in Luxembourg because there’s an obvious possibility for expansion into Europe, and America as well. The country’s central location in Europe, proximity to key markets including France and Germany, and supportive business envi- ronment solidified our decision. Nico Bery, co-founder and CEO of Flylab Flylab Agritech Thailand I was amazed by the level of support received. On my second visit to Luxembourg, a meeting was organised with people from the gov- ernment and other stakeholders, who actively listened to my needs and connected me with a network I needed. Luxembourg is also an excellent testbed for me. People here move much faster than other Europeans and are very positive to AI and new technologies.
