"The new campus will focus on R&D and innovation in the automotive supplier sector, providing a unique opportunity for like-minded organisations to develop Luxembourg as a centre of excellence in innovation" said Michel Witte, IEE’s President & CEO. “When we started out in 1990, we were just a small start-up,” he said. “But it was this mind-set that made who we are today. That’s why it’s great that with its focus on R&D and on innovation, the Luxembourg Automotive Campus shares this ‘start-up and spin-off’ mentality. Being part of the Campus will help us take our business to the next level.”
