Key Economic Sectors in Luxembourg

Agriculture & Viticulture

With vast stretches of farmland and a rich valley on its southeastern border, Luxembourg has a respected and thriving agriculture and viticulture sector.

Automotive

From Goodyear tyres to a new 215-kilometre testbed for autonomous vehicles, Luxembourg is a regional automotive and mobility hub.

As a country that relies on imports and realises the short-sightedness of the linear model of consumption, Luxembourg is making strides towards a more circular economic model, a move that both enables and is enabled by a growing number of locally based cleantech firms.

Creative Industries

Thanks to a diverse and growing population, an economy that offers many opportunities to creatives, and generous public funding, creative industries in Luxembourg are not only thriving, they are an important engine of economic growth and are adding to the cultural richness of the country.

Education

Multilingual, broad in scope, and well-funded: these are what characterise education in Luxembourg.

Finance

For many people, Luxembourg is synonymous with finance, a reputation that is well deserved. The country's highly developed banking sector, stable economy, excellent regulatory environment, and status as the number one fund centre in Europe all contribute to the robust financial sector.

ICT

With the greatest concentration of Tier IV data centres in Europe and the second highest level of digital connectivity, Luxembourg has developed a reputation as a country that prioritises information and communication technology (ICT) and data security, and leaders are keen to maintain the country’s competitive edge and transform it into a data-driven economy.

Life Sciences

With a growing number of life science research centres and a wide array of companies designing innovative, life-saving medical products, the Grand Duchy is increasingly becoming a regional centre of excellence in the field.

Logistics

Thanks to its centralised location, top-notch airport and cargo facilities, and links with major road, rail, and river arteries, Luxembourg has become a top European logistics hub.

Manufacturing

It’s no surprise that with its rich history in steel production, highly educated workforce, and business-friendly environment, Luxembourg is flourishing as a manufacturing nation.

Maritime

Despite being landlocked, for decades Luxembourg has been developing its maritime sector, making the country an ideal location for the registration of ships and shipping companies.

Medicine

Comprehensive, effective, and well-funded, Luxembourg’s medical sector provides the country with top-notch treatment and care.

Science & Engineering

With a thriving technology and materials industry, world-class research organisations, and a spate of large-scale infrastructure and construction projects, Luxembourg has become a regional centre in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and other hard sciences.

Space

Building on its expertise in satellites, Luxembourg is becoming a key player in the world of commercial space ventures, a transformation aided by generous government funding, a solid regulatory environment, and an attractive tax regime.
