In its June issue (No. 268), Paperjam shines a spotlight on Luxembourg’s family-run businesses. These “national champions” are the lifeblood of the economy and serve as role models in many respects. These often low-key companies have grown alongside the country and face many challenges. In the face of these challenges, their long-term perspective is their strength.

This month, in Paperjam, the spotlight is on “national champions”: Luxembourg-based companies, mostly family-run, which are leaders in their respective sectors and have stood the test of time. To give them a voice and gain a better understanding of both their concerns and the significant role they play in the economy, the editorial team sent them a comprehensive survey at the start of the year. The results, in the form of statistics and testimonials, are put into perspective in this issue.

On the cover, François Tesch of Foyer Group looks back at the history of the insurance company, a ‘national champion’ par excellence, which has evolved alongside the country and faced all the major challenges of a family business. In this issue, representatives from the Family Business Network also discuss these companies and the issues that concern them. Also worth reading are ten thematic features based on testimonials from 30 family business leaders, accompanied by brief profiles of these companies.

As for conversations, Laetitia HamonLaetitia Hamon, COO of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, looks back on the ten-year history of the Luxembourg Green Exchange and Luxembourg’s role in green finance. The trio at the helm of Samsa Film also discusses the 40th anniversary of the production company, which once again stood out at the latest Filmpräis.
