The Luxembourg Cluster Initiative is a key element of the national R&D and innovation policy which brings together various clusters and innovation networks established in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It is an efficient instrument to concentrate resources and means in order to achieve a critical mass and to accelerate the transfer of knowledge and good practice.

Launched in 2002 by the Luxembourg Government, it actively encourages networking between the private and the public sectors. The focus is placed on key technologies that have been identified as being important for the future sustainable development of the Luxembourg economy, such as:

• Eco-Innovation Technologies
• Healthcare and Biotechnologies
• Information & Communication Technologies
• Materials Technologies
• Space Technologies

Logistics and Maritime activities represent other innovation sectors in which Luxembourg is significantly improving its positioning.

The Luxembourg Cluster Initiative aims to jointly develop cutting-edge technologies whilst supporting Luxembourg’s current technological expertise and providing impetus for the further development of national centres of excellence. The main objectives of the Luxembourg Cluster Initiative are to:

• develop a shared vision for the future orientation of the Clusters and innovation networks concerned
• foster communication and the exchange of knowledge and know-how between cluster and innovation network members
• stimulate the development and implementation of collaborative projects on a national, European and an international level
• enhance the visibility of the technological excellence and the innovation potential of cluster and innovation network members
• encourage the uptake of new technologies and the identification of potential business opportunities

The Luxembourg Cluster Initiative is animated by Luxinnovation, the National Agency for Innovation and Research in Luxembourg.
