LU-CIX 2.0 is a new LU-CIX development plan aiming to support the digital sector in Luxembourg. It includes the employment of Claude DEMUTH as its full-time CEO starting on 1 March 2016, the renewal and professionalization of the LU-CIX network infrastructures management, and the increased promotion of Luxembourgish ICT abroad.
LU-CIX was founded in 2009 upon the initiative of telecoms and datacentre sector professionals who were aware of the stakes of the Internet for both the country and the greater region.
Six years later, in addition to organising the 'Luxembourg Internet Days', an annual event which brought 800 national and international Internet sector players under one roof for two days last December, LU-CIX asbl is formed of sixty members, hosts Google’s and Akamai’s servers locally, and has seen its IP traffic rise up to 50 Gbit/s. Moreover, LU-CIX has integrated the strategy of the Digital Lëtzebuerg initiative, which aims to strengthen and consolidate the country’s position in the ICT sector, thus making Luxembourg a high-tech centre of excellence at the heart of Europe.
