Ahead of the 2025 edition of the Nexus conference, taking place on 17-18 June at Luxexpo The Box, Luxinnovation CEO Mario Grotz talks about Luxembourg’s imperatives for agility and AI capability. 

In a fast-moving world shaped by technological disruption, artificial intelligence and deep structural shifts in the global economy, it is essential that Luxembourg continues to strengthen its role as a dynamic innovation hub. Nexus Luxembourg reflects this ambition as an international platform where ideas, talent and technologies converge.

This year’s edition will bring together visionaries, researchers, entrepreneurs and industry leaders to explore how we can collectively shape the future of key sectors for our economy. It is a moment to exchange experiences, share insights and build new partnerships--all essential components of a thriving innovation ecosystem through real-world use cases.

As part of this celebration, two major milestones will take centre stage: the Fit4Start Graduation Ceremony, highlighting the achievements of our most promising startups, and the first-ever Luxembourg AI Award, which will honour excellence and leadership in artificial intelligence--a field that continues to redefine the way we live, work and interact.

Beyond these highlights, Nexus also offers a deeper perspective on Luxembourg’s positioning as a trusted and agile partner in innovation, not just in Europe but on the global stage. Our unique blend of technological ambition, financial expertise and collaborative spirit is a competitive advantage--and Nexus makes it tangible.

This event is more than a gathering. It is an exceptional showcase of Luxembourg’s commitment to building a strong, secure and sovereign data economy. The Luxembourg AI Factory, which will have a prominent place in this 2025 edition of Nexus, embodies this dynamic: a national initiative designed to catalyse AI adoption across industries and foster a vibrant ecosystem of talent, research and experimentation.

By aligning economic development with digital leadership, Luxembourg is shaping a future where innovation is not only advanced--but trusted, inclusive and value-driven.
