“LuXembourg - Let’s Make It Happen” came to life in 2016 as a cross-sectorial facilitator and to aid the global promotion of Luxembourg. The LMIH team work with many different stakeholders including LuxInnovation, Visit Luxembourg, Research Luxembourg and the Ministry of Culture / KulturLX to name but a few.
Their role is to streamline the messaging of Luxembourg within the country, within industry, culture and abroad. After plenty of working groups and citizen participation, the values which they believe define Luxembourg are: dynamic, open and reliable.
"United by Creativity, Sustained by Diversity”
Under its National Day 2024 motto, the initiative emphasises the priorities that Luxembourg has defined in a cross-sectorial manner to invest in: Creativity, Diversity and Sustainability. These 3 priorities guid all partnerships and projects for www.LMIH.lu
