Following up on our country deep-dive series, we now turn to Luxembourg, a small but strategically positioned ecosystem that continues to punch above its weight in European innovation. Known for its strength in finance, space, and cross-border industry, the country has steadily expanded into healthtech, climate tech, robotics, and digital infrastructure.

While Luxembourg’s startup scene may be more compact than larger European hubs, it benefits from strong institutional backing, international talent, and close proximity to major EU markets. The ecosystem increasingly reflects a blend of regulated-industry expertise and deep technical ambition, with companies building in areas such as FundTech, biotech, industrial automation, and circular economy technologies.

In this article, we highlight 10 of the most promising Luxembourg-based startups founded from 2021 onwards. Presented in alphabetical order, the selection focuses on companies that have secured funding, developed defined products, and are positioning themselves for continued growth into 2026 and beyond.
