Your business location for innovation and tailor-made solutions in Europe


Luxembourg: a unique gateway to address the European market

Situated at the heart of Europe, Luxembourg is a unique gateway to the European market and its 500 million plus consumers. Luxembourg has long established a reputation as a favoured location for a wide range of international companies with diverse business models from a variety of sectors. Around 40% of the European Union’s wealth is concentrated in a 500-kilometre area around Luxembourg.

As a member of the Euro area, Luxembourg profits from the advantages of a huge single market with a single currency (the Euro) eliminating transaction costs and uncertainty caused by exchange rate fluctuations.


Luxembourg’s proposals for your business

Together with companies, Luxembourg’s government has built a business driven environment and developed state-of-the-art infrastructures. Once again, Luxembourg has recently expressed all its wishes to support the companies’ development in promising sectors offering high potential ROI for companies:

  • High Value Industry
  • Health Sciences and Technologies
  • Environmental Technologies / Renewable Energy
  • ICT, E-commerce and Broadcasting
  • Financial Services
  • Logistic and Procurement
  • Automotive Industry


Several world leaders selected Luxembourg:

Luxembourg has been selected as a prime location for business development by many international firms from different sectors such as Amazon, ArcelorMittal, Cargolux, DHL, DuPont de Nemours, eBay, Goodyear, Huawei, Kuehne + Nagel, Microsoft, Paypal, SES, Siemens, State Street, etc.


A commitment towards R&D and Innovation

Luxembourg offers one of the most attractive frameworks for R&D and Intellectual Property in Europe.

Any companies, private research organisations or public organisations can therefore benefit from a 25 to 100% state aid (generally subsidies or interest-rate subsidies) to finance an R&D project.
Luxembourg tax regime also provides an 80% exemption for income coming from Intellectual Property (IP) rights and capital gains realised on the sale of IP.


Luxembourg’s general advantages for doing business

Luxembourg’s success can be attributed to a succession of positive, long-term and innovative government policies aiming to enhance business and diversify the country’s economy. As a consequence of this approach, several factors have allowed Luxembourg to offer companies exceptional opportunities for doing business in Europe:

  • A highly strategic position and neutral place
  • A skilled multilingual workforce
  • A financially healthy country
  • A stable and rewarding tax environment
  • Attractive R&D and Intellectual Property Framework
  • Excellent infrastructure
  • Top level financial and multinational IT Clusters
  • A good logistics network
  • Flexible and welcoming authorities
  • A very welcoming and safe country with attractive life style

In conclusion, Luxembourg provides companies with the unique capacity to design the best business regulatory and tax environment for added-value activities in Europe.
