Startups and scaleups are key engines of innovation and economic dynamism. Defined by the public database Dealroom as rapidly scaling or scalable entities, no more than 20 years old, innovative by design, and active in Luxembourg (headquarters, founding place, or a regular office), they play a vital role in shaping the future economy. These companies are often at the forefront of disruptive technologies, new business models, and global market expansion.
The startups and scaleups listed on the Dealroom database respect the following criteria: rapidly scaling/scalable entities, maximum 20 years old, innovative by design and active in Luxembourg (headquarters, founding place, or a regular office).
As the database is collaborative, startups not currently listed are encouraged to create a profile to be included in future analyses.
In Luxembourg, startups and scaleups benefit from a supportive business environment, strong international networks, and close collaboration with research institutions, corporates, and public players. The country’s innovation ecosystem is designed to help them thrive — from early-stage development to international scaling — making Luxembourg an attractive hub for entrepreneurial growth.
Moreover, Luxinnovation officially represents Luxembourg as a member of the European Startup Nation Alliance (ESNA), an EU-backed initiative that brings together European countries committed to creating the best possible conditions for startups to start, scale, and succeed in Europe. ESNA’s role is to track progress on how well countries are implementing the Startup Nations Standard through its Startup Nations Scoreboard, facilitate collaboration between governments, innovation agencies, and startup communities and promote best practices across Europe.
Below, you will find a curated selection of resources offering insights into Luxembourg’s dynamic startup and scaleup landscape.
