Startup Luxembourg

As part of our #WomenInTech series, we are thrilled to feature Dr Priscilla Schelp. Having built her first startup on a tight budget, she understands the founder journey firsthand. Today, as co-founder and managing partner at the Global Resilience Innovation Fund (GRIF), she’s using the investor seat to strengthen European tech sovereignty. "There are two main ways to shape the world: political power or directing the flow of cash." Her advice to women looking to break into venture capital? "I know many women who are exceptional and have made it incredibly far. So can you." 👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ddZsgVRK

🚀 What does "startup-friendly" actually look like on paper? For 🇱🇺, it's a 6th-place finish out of 27 EU countries. A few things behind that number: 📈 The scoreboard tracks 36 indicators across 6 areas: regulation, financing, market access, talent, infrastructure, and impact. 📊 🇱🇺's score has grown 9% since 2021. 📌 Two specific numbers stand out in the data: local investment into startups, and the share of funded startups founded by women, both the highest recorded in the EU. The number comes from the European Commission's first-ever Startup and Scaleup Scoreboard, drawing on data from the Joint Research Centre, Eurostat, Dealroom.co, and the European Startup Nations Alliance. 📊 It reflects years of #StartupLuxembourg building the regulation, funding, and support founders actually need. 🌱 What matters most to you when it comes to a place being “start-up friendly”? 👇 📊 À quoi ressemble un environnement favorable aux start-ups ? Pour le 🇱🇺, cela se traduit par une 6e place parmi les 27 pays de l’UE. Quelques chiffres derrière ce résultat : 📈 Le classement s'appuie sur 36 indicateurs répartis en 6 domaines : réglementation, financement, accès au marché, talents, infrastructures et impact. 📊 Le score du 🇱🇺 a progressé de 9 % depuis 2021. 📌 Deux records dans l'UE : les investissements dans les start-ups et la part des start-ups financées par des femmes n'ont jamais été aussi élevés. Ces données proviennent du premier « Startup and Scaleup Scoreboard » de la European Commission, basé notamment sur les données du Joint Research Centre, d’Eurostat , de Dealroom.co et de l’European Startup Nations Alliance. 📊 C'est aussi le fruit de plusieurs années de travail : la mise en place du cadre, des financements et un accompagnement qui font la différence pour les entrepreneurs. 🌱 Et pour vous, qu’est-ce qui rend un pays véritablement favorable aux start-ups ? 👇 #LuXembourg #LetsMakeItHappen #Innovation Ministère de l'Économie - Luxembourg, Work in Luxembourg, Luxinnovation GIE, House of Startups Luxembourg (HoST), Startup Luxembourg, European Commission, Dealroom.co, Eurostat, EU Science, Research and Innovation, EU-Startups 📸: LMIH, Sabino Parente
