47 candidate on the starting line

Launched in 2025 by FEDIL in partnership with Luxinnovation and with the support of the Chamber of Commerce, the Luxembourg AI Excellence Awards aim to promote and highlight excellence in artificial intelligence in Luxembourg. They recognise innovative projects, concrete technological advances and AI applications that generate a measurable impact on the economy, society or the environment.

For this second edition, 47 applications were submitted by companies and organisations active across a wide range of sectors. Following a rigorous evaluation, the winning projects were selected by a jury composed of experts from the public and private sectors, based on criteria including the innovative nature of the solutions, the effective use of artificial intelligence technologies, their level of maturity and their potential impact.

Following the success of the 2026 edition, FEDIL, Luxinnovation and the Chamber of Commerce reaffirm their commitment to continuing this initiative, with the aim of promoting excellence and the responsible use of artificial intelligence in Luxembourg.
