For several years now, Luxembourg has positioned itself as a global hub for commercial space through a national strategy focused on creating an attractive environment for businesses. Today, Luxembourg’s space ecosystem has grown to encompass over 80 specialised companies and research organisations. The sector employs approximately 1,650 professionals and contributes nearly 1.73% to the national GDP, with expertise ranging from satellite communications and Earth observation to the pioneering field of space resources.
