Luxembourg Trade and Investment Office

What Luxembourg Trade and Investment Office does

Luxembourg Trade and Investment Office, also operating as Luxembourg Trade & Invest, is a government-backed trade and investment promotion agency established in 1986 and operated under Luxinnovation GIE, an economic interest grouping representing the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The organization serves as the official international gateway for businesses seeking to establish operations in Luxembourg or for Luxembourg-based companies looking to expand abroad, delivering free advisory services through a network of ten regional offices located in New York, San Francisco, Abu Dhabi, Casablanca, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Taipei, Tel Aviv, and Tokyo, plus headquarters in Luxembourg.

The core service portfolio is organized into two principal programs. "Choose Luxembourg" assists international firms with sector discovery, company setup, and identification of optimal entry strategies into Luxembourg and the EU Single Market. "Go International" supports Luxembourg-based companies with outbound expansion through advisory consultations and partner introductions. Distribution is delivered via direct field-office advisory engagement, supplemented by a multilingual website (English, French, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese), a monthly Crossroads newsletter, and active presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube.

The business model is a publicly funded trade-promotion mandate rather than a commercial operation. Services are provided free of charge, with no pricing model, no disclosed revenue, and no paying customers. Funding flows from Government of Luxembourg appropriations channeled through Luxinnovation GIE. The entity holds no patents, has no disclosed technology stack, and makes no AI/ML capabilities claims. There are no disclosed partnerships, acquisitions, funding rounds, or leadership changes in the input data, and the organization does not publish financial statements.
