Luxembourg AI Factory - a platform for responsible AI adoption
In an age shaped by Artificial Intelligence (AI), it is essential that companies, start-ups, administrations and public actors not only understand the potential of AI, but also ensure it is implemented in a secure manner - in line with current regulations and beneficial for the economy and society. Against this backdrop, the Luxembourg AI Factory arrives as a strategic and exemplary initiative, and a transferable good practice that supports the responsible adoption of AI throughout its life cycle.
About the Luxembourg AI Factory
The Luxembourg AI Factory is a national platform launched in April 2025, which serves as a single entry point providing support to organisations in designing and implementing their AI projects - from the initial idea and prototype, to large-scale production. Coordinated by the national innovation agency Luxinnovation, the project brings together a consortium of partners active in the public and private sphere alike - including LuxPROVIDE, the Luxembourg National Data Service, the University of Luxembourg and the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST).
The aim is to facilitate the adoption of AI in a safe, compliant, sovereign and responsible manner by bringing together infrastructure, expertise, funding and training in an integrated model.
A comprehensive offer for AI adoption
The Luxembourg AI Factory offers a catalogue of services structured around six main categories that cover the entire course of an AI project:
- Evaluation & Acceleration: Diagnosis of maturity, clarification of objectives and definition of a concrete roadmap.
- Training & Upskilling: Access to 140 to 200 courses per year, from initiation to advanced specialisations.
- Networking: Connections with technical experts, academic partners and European initiatives, in particular within the network of European AI Factories.
- Access to finance: Support to obtain national and European support (e.g. Horizon Europe, Digital Europe).
- Development & Test: Support for the creation and validation of AI solutions, including via secure regulatory environments (sandboxes) and enforcement of rules such as the GDPR and the future EU AI Act.
- Industrialisation & Production: Support to move from prototypes to operational solutions, with data management, governance of AI models and integration into existing systems.
A real catalyst for the Luxembourg (and European) AI ecosystem
Supporting local and international actors
- The platform is aimed at start-ups, SMEs, large companies, administrations and research institutions, regardless of their AI integration phase. This makes it a device adapted to varied and inclusive contexts.
Targeted strategic sectors
- The project focuses its efforts on areas where Luxembourg has a strong ecosystem: cybersecurity, finance, green economy and space – sectors where AI can generate high-impact innovations.
Strengthening European digital sovereignty
- The Luxembourg AI Factory is part of the European Union’s AI Factories network, promoting good cross-border practices and creating synergies at European level. This helps the EU build a robust, ethical and sovereign AI ecosystem in line with its regulations and standards.
Sovereign Infrastructure for AI
- The initiative also relies on an AI-optimised supercomputer (MeluXina-AI), providing a secure and high-level computing infrastructure for data- and performance-demanding projects. This makes the Luxembourg and European ecosystem more attractive.
Why is this a (transferable) good practice?
The Luxembourg AI Factory represents an exemplary and transferable approach for other European countries wishing to:
- Provide a single entry point for AI coaching, avoiding fragmentation of services and reducing bureaucratic barriers.
- Building an integrated ecosystem of infrastructure, skills, financing and regulatory compliance.
- Design responsible and safe adoption pathways aligned with European standards (GDPR, EU AI Act).
- Develop a sovereign and secure infrastructure to strengthen local trust and innovation.
- Building cross-border cooperation in the European Digital Single Market.
The Luxembourg AI Factory exemplifies a solid good practice to encourage responsible adoption of artificial intelligence at national and European level. Through an integrated approach combining infrastructure, expertise, training, finance and compliance, it fosters not only technological innovation, but also the trust of users, businesses and society in ethical and efficient AI.
