The startup scene across Luxembourg
Where startups are forming across Luxembourg: the cities, accelerators and investors, and how you get close to them.
The ecosystem
Luxinnovation’s Dealroom-based report counted more than 810 startups and scaleups active in Luxembourg in December 2025, including 690 headquartered in the country. Its inclusion criteria cover firms founded since 2005 that have a headquarters, founding location, or regular office in Luxembourg, so the total includes companies with different kinds of local presence.
Luxinnovation reported €1.8 billion in disclosed funding for 26% of Luxembourg-headquartered startups, and €7.8 billion across the wider active-in-Luxembourg dataset. These are report-specific totals, not a funding-growth comparison.
Sectors and strengths
Luxinnovation identifies enterprise software and fintech as leading sectors. Its health-technology coverage includes medical devices, in-vitro diagnostics, digital health, and biotech.

For founders
When assessing market size or peers, distinguish Luxembourg-headquartered firms from the broader set of companies active locally; Luxinnovation’s report separately provides both figures. Sector-specific reference points include fintech, enterprise software, health technologies, energy, space, and transportation.

For investors
Luxinnovation reports disclosed funding totals both for Luxembourg-headquartered startups and for the wider group active in Luxembourg. The wider figure includes foreign-headquartered companies, so use the two figures according to the company scope relevant to an investment thesis.

Constraints and recent changes
Luxinnovation’s active-in-Luxembourg measure includes companies with a regular local office as well as those headquartered or founded in the country. Its overall ecosystem count and Luxembourg-headquartered count therefore describe different scopes.
