Each year, the European Commission publishes a State of the Digital Decade report designed to track EU-wide progress toward achieving Digital Decade Policy Programme targets and objectives. This year’s assessment reveals how Luxembourg’s advanced infrastructure drives innovation, supported by an adjusted roadmap that attempts to bolster AI and SME digitalization.
Persistent strengths continue sustaining next-gen technologies
Luxembourg’s infrastructure consistently measures above the EU average, with widespread 5G and very high-capacity network coverage across the country. Because of its trusted and robust infrastructure, it is able to support critical EU initiatives, such as MeluXina-AI and the Luxembourg AI Factory, positioning itself as an important contributor to EU innovation.
Similarly, the government’s widely used public platforms, such as MyGuichet.lu, and its centralized IT architecture, make the Grand Duchy a leader in digital public services. According to a special 2025 Eurobarometer related to the Digital Decade, 80% of Luxembourgish citizens say that the digitalization of services, both public and private, has made their lives easier.
Redesigned support for SMEs & individuals of all backgrounds
While Luxembourg outperforms the majority of other Member States in terms of digital skills and maintains the second highest share of ICT specialist employment, it faces disparities between men and women and among education levels. To diminish these gaps, its new roadmap expands upon digital literacy programs, existing tools and civil society partnerships.
As the startup ecosystem grows, SMEs still face barriers to digitalization and AI integration, and patchy cloud and data analytics adoption. Luxembourg’s 2025 Fit 4 Digital – AI attempts to alleviate this reality, with several accredited consultants already helping SMEs develop digital transformation plans. The Ministry of the Economy’s new SME packages for cybersecurity and AI help these businesses implement AI solutions and protect against cyberthreats, covering up to 70% of costs.
Starting the year with a restructured roadmap
In December 2024, Luxembourg submitted a revised Digital Decade Roadmap to address any areas of stagnation or unrealized potential, including regarding eHealth record access, SME digitalization and digital skills disparities. Nearly 100 measures were included, aimed at accelerating progress and unlocking Luxembourg’s digital potential across various sectors.
