AI Factory: Luxinnovation as a single point of entry

At the opening of the Data Summit Luxembourg 2025, the Minister for Digitalisation and Minister for Research and Higher Education, Stéphanie Obertin, highlighted the new service catalogue of the Luxembourg AI Factory

Announced at the end of 2024 with the support of the Ministry of the Economy, the Ministry of Research and Higher Education and the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, the Luxembourg AI Factory is the national platform dedicated to the responsible and secure adoption of AI. It is supported by a consortium composed of LuxProvide, Luxinnovation, the Luxembourg National Data Service (LNDS), the University of Luxembourg and the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), as well as a network of public and private stakeholders.

The Luxembourg AI Factory forms part of the network of 19 AI Factories established within the European Union.

“Thanks to the integrated approach of the Luxembourg AI Factory, Luxembourg is becoming a key player in building a robust, ethical and sovereign European AI ecosystem”, Stéphanie Obertin comments. “As an active member of the EuroHPC programme and closely connected to the other AI Factories, the Luxembourg AI Factory contributes to the dissemination of good practices and to the creation of cross-border synergies."

Gain confidence in AI

After several months of consultation with all consortium members and partners involved, the Luxembourg AI Factory's service catalogue is now available. Targeting companies, start-ups, public administrations and research players, the services of the Luxembourg AI Factory provide support to ensure the safe, efficient and compliant adoption of artificial intelligence.

The coordination of this initiative is ensured by the national innovation agency Luxinnovation, as a single point of entry. "With this service catalogue, we confirm our ambition for the Luxembourg AI Factory: to enable any organisation to adopt AI in a sovereign, secure and compliant framework, turning complexity into concrete opportunities”, Mario Grotz, CEO of Luxinnovation, explains. “By bringing together infrastructure, expertise, funding and training within a single model, our aim is to remove traditional barriers and offer organisations the confidence to embark on AI-driven developments."

A comprehensive service catalogue structured around six pillars

Covering the entire life cycle of an artificial intelligence project, from initial concept to large-scale production, the Luxembourg AI Factory's service catalogue offers six pillars of support.

Through these services, the Luxembourg AI Factory can help to:

• Assess & Accelerate  –Helping conduct a maturity assessment, clarify objectives and define a realistic action plan to transform exploration into a concrete roadmap. The aim is to ensure that every project is built on solid foundations and maximises its impact.
• Upskill & Train – Between 140 and 200 training courses per year are available on its website, ranging from awareness-raising to operational mastery and specialised training. This offering helps develop the next generation of AI talent in the country, while ensuring that no one is left behind in the digital transition.
• Connect – Putting organisations in touch with technical experts, sector specialists, academic partners or European initiatives. It can also facilitate data discovery and access, which is essential for training and testing AI models. The Luxembourg AI Factory positions itself as a catalyst for innovation and a focal point for both the national and European ecosystems.
• Fund – Facilitating access to national aid for Research, Development and Innovation, as well as to European programmes such as Horizon Europe or Digital Europe. This support helps accelerate projects while reducing financial risks – a decisive advantage for SMEs and start-ups.
• Build & Test – Supporting the development and validation of AI solutions, including experimental development, the use of regulatory environments (sandboxes), data management support, and the application of compliance principles relating to the GDPR and the EU AI Act.
• Scale & execute – Providing support during the transition to production: data management, operational deployment, model supervision, lifecycle governance and integration into existing systems. Organisations can thus harness the full potential of AI on a continuous basis, relying on sovereign infrastructure that guarantees performance, security and resilience.

“Thanks to the range of services offered, the Luxembourg AI Factory strengthens the competitiveness of SMEs and accelerates innovation within companies”, the Minister of the Economy, SME, Energy and Tourism, Lex Delles, explained. “This initiative also supports the country's strategic sectors – finance, space, cybersecurity and the green economy – while remaining open to all industries and businesses, thus reinforcing Luxembourg's position in the AI and data ecosystem."
