spring 2026 Industrial AI, productivity, sovereignty, defence... these themes have dominat- ed this spring’s leading tech events. Europe is facing major competitiveness challenges and needs to innovate boldly to maintain its edge. But beyond the buzzwords, what does it take to create an environment where companies can prosper and generate real value? Luxembourg’s value proposition relies on two pillars: a stable and supportive environment for long-term R&D and innovation investments, and a globally con- nected economy built on openness, cross-border business and strong partner- ships in Europe and beyond. Knowledge-driven industries and innovative tech companies are cen- tral to our economy, alongside high-value services delivered by our finan- cial sector. In this edition of Crossroads Magazine , we take an in-depth look at why many global players have chosen to place their research and innovation centres in the Grand Duchy. We also explore opportunities for growth in fintech. Combining forward-looking, pro-business policies with pragmatic support is our priority. Through Luxinnovation, Luxembourg’s national innovation agency, we provide hands-on guidance to companies at every stage of their innovation journey. Initiatives such as the Luxembourg AI Factory fur- ther empower companies to succeed with their AI endeavours. If you want to know more about how Luxembourg can support the expan sion of your innovative business, get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you. © Ministry of the Economy/Marion Dessard Christian Tock Deputy Director General for Industry, New Technologies and Research at the Ministry of the Economy, Board Chair of Luxinnovation GRAND DUCHY OF INNOVATION THE INNOVATION ADVANTAGE MAGNET FOR R&D FORGING TOMORROW’S STEEL MULTI-USE 3D SCANNING SHORT READS DUSTING OFF SOLAR PANELS THE COMPASS LEADING IN FINTECH AI RULES FOR INVESTING SCALING GLOBALLY FROM LUXEMBOURG WHY LUXEMBOURG?
