To address the challenges of digital inclusion and promote widespread digital transformation, Luxembourg has implemented various state strategies and national initiatives. The National Action Plan for Digital Inclusion 2021 served as a concerted approach to combat the digital divide and foster inclusion in the ongoing digital transformation. The plan involved an inter-ministerial working group analysing different aspects of digital inclusion and coordinating actions across various stakeholders. Additionally, the Government's "Digital Luxembourg" initiative have been actively committed to promoting and fostering innovative 5G solutions and actions on multiple levels. 

Luxembourg Government has recently developed a Quantum Strategy as part of its programme ‘Accelerating Digital Sovereignty by 2030’.In line with its digital strategy focusing on data and artificial intelligence, Luxembourg aims to position itself as a leading European player in this emerging field, with strong scientific, economic and strategic potential. Part of the same plan is also Luxembourg's Data Strategy, which positions data as a strategic resource for innovation, competitiveness and citizens’ well-being.

Moreover, the country's Recovery and Resilience Plan allocates significant investments to bolster digital skills development. It includes vocational training programs such as "Digital Skills" and "FutureSkills" to equip job seekers with relevant digital and managerial skills through online learning and apprenticeships. The plan also focuses on modernising public administration and digitalising public services to improve accessibility. Investments are also directed towards digitalising the National Employment Agency (ADEM) to address labour market challenges, making processes more efficient and personalised for beneficiaries.
