“LuXembourg - Let’s Make It Happen” came to life in 2013 as a cross-sectorial facilitator and to aid the global promotion of Luxembourg.

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.
