"We need a strong, innovative and integrated European defence ecosystem. With a strong Luxembourg footprint. Luxembourg Defence fully understands that industry plays a central role in ensuring our resilience and maintaining our strategic advantage," explained Minister Yuriko Backes.

"Innovation is never built alone. It is nourished by meetings and collaborations with the right partners," adds Mario Grotz, CEO of Luxinnovation. "This is precisely the reason for the existence of this catalogue. It is designed as a gateway to encourage potential partners from all over the world to explore international research and business development opportunities in Luxembourg and, thus, to create mutually beneficial links. This approach is all the more essential as advances in digital technology and artificial intelligence are progressing at a steady pace and require us to keep up to date with these developments and to surround ourselves with companies and organizations at the forefront of technologies and the latest trends."
