It's a world first: since last year, public transport in Luxembourg has been entirely free. This initiative, designed to encourage soft mobility, is part of the spirit of a country focused on sustainable solutions. Social initiatives, circular and solidarity-based economy: not to mention its natural surroundings, its entire economy goes greenLuxembourg's financial centre is one of its strengths. The Global Financial Centres Index ranked Luxembourg ranked fourth among green financial centres in the world in 2019. The Luxembourg stock exchange has launched the only platform to date dedicated to eco-friendly financial products. Today, half of all listed green bonds are housed in Luxembourg, as are a third of Europe's responsible investment funds.
Aware of the challenges of tomorrow, Luxembourg is also betting on the future by actively supporting research and creativity. In particular, the public research budget has almost quadrupled over the last decade, leading to the emergence of organisations at the cutting edge of biomedicine and cyber security. And although they are public establishments, they are also very open to cooperation with the private sector.
An industrial powerhouse in its day, with Arbed (now ArcelorMittal) as its flagship, and a global financial powerhouse, Luxembourg is now building its future. a future focused on digital technologies and the digital transitionLuxembourg is also home to the world's largest satellite operator, the telecommunications company SES. This dynamic is also reflected in the cultural sector, with the creative industries booming, already numbering over 2,000 and hiring like crazy.
Luxembourg, or the art of reinventing oneself without losing one's core values, be they respect for others or the art of consensus. It is also open to the world, almost by definition, since half of the country's 600,000 inhabitants are foreign nationals, helping to make Luxembourg a country that is open to the world. a melting pot of 175 nationalities different countries. And that's without counting the 200,000 employees from the French, Belgian and German border areas who come to work in Luxembourg every day.
Plurality of languages, diversity of cultures: Luxembourg is a cosmopolitan crossroads at the centre of Europe. Crossing borders is a model for society. As a pillar of European integration and a united, open Europe, Luxembourg is a major international meeting place. Luxembourg is an ideal location for new projects and partnerships, and its great economic and political stability provides a calm and reliable environment to support business development.
Stability, openness, dynamism: corporate events organised in Luxembourg benefit from these factors strong values. All the more so because, undoubtedly more than elsewhere, it's easier to make the right contacts and meet influential people. Because of its small population, almost everyone knows everyone else, sometimes from school. The decision-makers and players in tomorrow's economy are only a handful.to a handshake. These meetings will enhance the impact of the events, and the experienced team at Business Events Luxembourg will be delighted to organise. As always, with kindness and professionalism.
