Luxembourg is a small country (2,586 km2), but with a dynamic economy and a recognised quality of life with a high sense of security.
Its location in the heart of Europe, the coexistence of nationals from 175 countries, the multilingualism of its population and its status as a Grand Duchy make Luxembourg a unique country.
A dynamic country and a recognised quality of life
Throughout its history, the country has developed economic policies that favour innovation and the development of new activities. Located between France, Belgium and Germany, the country has become an important European centre for business, research and innovation.
An open and internationalised economy
Due to its size and small domestic market, companies are encouraged to think internationally in most of their decision-making processes. This characteristic and the presence of countless international workers make Luxembourg one of the most open economies in the world.
The Chamber of Commerce and Luxinnovation work together with the Ministry of Economy to promote innovation, support international growth and attract foreign direct investment. Their coordinated work is brought together in a common platform: www.tradeandinvest.lu.
