On Monday 2 February 2026, Luxembourg’s Ministry of State, Ministry of the Economy and Ministry of Finance reported that 21 business leaders from key sectors of the Luxembourg economy met with the government for a strategic discussion on seizing the economic and social opportunities offered by artificial intelligence (AI).
The meeting took place under the chairmanship of Luxembourg’s Prime Minister Luc Frieden with the participation of the Minister of the Economy, SMEs, Energy and Tourism, Lex Delles, the Minister of Finance, Gilles Roth, and the Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister for Media and Connectivity, Elisabeth Margue.
The discussions addressed the opportunities and challenges linked to the adoption of AI and also covered measures implemented by the government, such as the Luxembourg AI Factory, to support businesses in their efforts.
Prime Minister Frieden stated: “This meeting comes at a decisive moment to position Luxembourg as a champion of responsible AI adoption and development, placing people at the centre by putting this new technology at the service of social progress, job creation and sovereignty. We want AI based on trust and transparency, placing innovation at the service of humanity. A European-style artificial intelligence, with a Luxembourg touch.”
Minister Delles added: “Artificial intelligence represents a major opportunity to strengthen Luxembourg’s competitiveness. With our cutting-edge digital infrastructures, including the future Meluxina-AI, as well as initiatives such as the AI Factory, the Deep Tech Lab and our support schemes, we provide businesses, particularly SMEs, with the means to adopt AI in a responsible manner. As Luxembourg ranks among the best-prepared European countries, we continue our efforts to support businesses, foster innovation and ensure that the technological transition benefits our entire economy.”
Minister Roth underlined: “Artificial intelligence is a strategic lever for the competitiveness and resilience of our economy and our financial centre. With initiatives such as the AI Factory and the advisory committee on AI in finance, we promote a framework that supports investment, innovation and the responsible use of AI, in order to strengthen the attractiveness of our financial centre as well as the growth and sovereignty of our country.”
Minister Margue concluded: “While the concrete actions and flagship projects of the AI strategy presented in May 2025 continue to be implemented across the strategic sectors of our economy, we must work every day to identify barriers to application. Through simplification initiatives such as the Digital Omnibus and the rapid implementation of innovative instruments under the AI Act, such as regulatory sandboxes, we are establishing a clear and predictable framework for businesses. This framework allows them to invest with confidence and in compliance with the protection of our personal data.”
