DATA, AI AND QUANTUM Three complementary government strategies published in 2025 aim to solidify Luxembourg’s position as a European digital innovation hub. Luxembourg is committed to creating a trusted AI ecosystem based on openness, dynamism and reliabil- ity. This ecosystem will ensure that technological ad- vancements palpably improve the quality of life for cit- izens and encourage the adoption of AI technologies across the entire economy by continuing to deploy cutting-edge infrastructure and foster a skill-based ecosystem. The government also intends to promote intelligent and efficient processes and personalised, inclusive public services. It will continue to build a research ecosystem that positions AI as transversal and inter- disciplinary, driving innovation, and attracting inter- national and developing national talent. Beyond enabling new scientific breakthroughs, the strategy focuses on developing, deploying and commer- cialising innovative quantum technologies, capabilities and services. Building on Luxembourg’s role as a trust- ed and secure hub for data-driven innovation, the strat- egy places particular emphasis on quantum communi- cation and cybersecurity. One key objective is to equip public and private stakeholders with tools to safeguard critical systems against quantum-based threats. In parallel, the country seeks to expand on its existing strengths in high-performance computing and AI, lev- eraging the disruptive potential of quantum comput- ing to accelerate industrial transformation and main- tain technological competitiveness. To achieve this, the Luxembourg government takes on the role of a pio- neer in data management, establishing centralised governance to simplify access, use and reuse of public sector data. This framework benefits both public and private entities, nationally and internationally. Ultimately, the government intends to create a “data factory”, which will develop an ecosystem for data valorisation based on the provision and repurposing of ready-to-use information, enabling the creation of accessi- ble and interoperable data products and services. Be a European data hub for reliable, high-quality and easily exploitable data. Become a renowned hub for human-centred AI innovation with a global impact. Make Luxembourg ready to harness the full potential of quantum technologies for scientific, technological and economic progress. 17 autumn 2025
