The Luxembourg City Incubator offers support to start-ups from a variety of sectors, such as the creative industries, and social and female entrepreneurship. Business accelerator and coaching services are provided by nyuko ASBL, which has moved from Rue de Hollerich to its new offices at the House of Startups. The main objective of the Luxembourg City Incubator project is to "incubate" nascent businesses, which means providing support in the form of hosting, consulting and training start-ups during the initial stages of the business life cycle in order to encourage their development under the most favourable conditions possible.
The Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (LHoFT) will continue to host and support FinTech companies, as well as raise awareness of new technologies in the Luxembourg financial sector.
The City of Luxembourg and the Chamber of Commerce have decided to jointly invest in this project.
