There are three main things that made Luxembourg a great ally for us: the equity-free funding that took our project from idea to start-up and, hopefully, successful scale-up, the diversity of the population which makes Luxembourg a perfect testbed for innovative products, and the agility of the country and its decision making.

We discovered that Luxembourg is at the centre of the EU and has strong start-up and financial ecosystems, a highly educated and international workforce and three languages – German, French and Luxembourgish, which would help us bridge different European markets in one shot. This made us choose Luxembourg over some other European regions.
