Why Luxembourg

Luxembourg is the Eurozone's leading financial centre and the second largest investment fund centre in the world. Luxembourg is a strategic EU location with easy access to Paris, London, Zürich, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Brussels amongst many key European locations. In Luxembourg, you can do business in French, German, and English, including legal contracts in any of these languages.

Luxembourg's workforce is highly educated and skilled as well as diverse; 47% of the population are foreigners and 160,000 people commute daily from Belgium, France and Germany to work in the Grand-Duchy.

Critically, Luxembourg thrives on its agility and spirit of collaboration.
