Luxembourg's performance towards the Digital Decade targets and objectives.
Luxembourg continues to be a strategic digital hub, backed by strong infrastructure but facing persistent challenges in SME digital uptake. The country is committed to remaining a European frontrunner in digitalisation, through targeted investments in strategic digital technologies.
Luxembourg's roadmap is composed of 98 measures with a budget of EUR 515 billion, of which EUR 488 million from public budgets (equivalent to 0.57% of GDP in 2024).
Observed Key Performance Indicators as Percentage of the EU 2030 targets
The graph represents the observed Key Performance Indicators in the Member State as a percentage of the EU 2030 targets, as well as the distance, in percentage, to the EU 2030 targets.
The bars for cloud, data analytics and basic skills are empty, as 2023 is the most recent year for which data is available. The bars for edge nodes and unicorns are also empty as the Member State's performance cannot be compared to the EU target.
In 2024, Luxembourg had an estimated 20 edge nodes and 2 unicorns.
High-performance connectivity and foundational technologies for a competitive EU
Luxembourg’s connectivity infrastructure indicators remain above the EU average, with near-universal VHCN and 5G coverage.
The country shows strong leadership in AI and quantum computing, notably through MeluXina-AI and its role in the EU’s AI Factories initiative.
The digitalisation of SMEs continues to lag, hindered by high integration costs and limited technical expertise.
Recommendation
Further support is needed for the uptake of advanced digital technologies (cloud, AI, data) by SMEs, who currently lag significantly behind larger enterprises.
Scale-up financing can rely on a number of public funding schemes but companies often struggle to access later-stage funding due to the small size of the market and a limited private risk capital culture.
Recommendation
The growth pipeline for scale-ups should be strengthened by facilitating greater access to private venture capital.
Digital skills and public services to protect and empower EU people and society
Luxembourg has one of the highest shares of ICT specialists in the EU and strong overall digital skills levels.
The country is a frontrunner in digital public services, supported by robust platforms like MyGuichet.lu and centralised IT infrastructure.
Digital skills disparities persist across demographic groups, particularly affecting older people and those with lower education levels.
Recommendation
Scale up targeted programs to reach older citizens, women, and populations with lower education background.
Leveraging digital transformation for a smart greening
Luxembourg promotes a renewable-based and intelligent energy system and supports sustainable public cloud (GovCloud) deployment.
The country is engaging in EU-level initiatives like the Green Digital Coalition and IPCEI projects to reduce the carbon footprint of the ICT sector.
Funding
EUR 24 million
Share of Luxembourg’s total Recovery and Resilience plan contributing to advancing the country’s digital transformation.
EUR 6 million
