Nexus Luxembourg is an annual AI and technology summit held at LuxExpo The Box in Luxembourg-Kirchberg. It describes itself as the Grand Duchy's flagship tech event and operates a "4-in-1" structure combining four distinct zones: an AI and cybersecurity conference (Intelligence Forum), a fintech and digital finance zone (Fintech Sphere), a startup pitch arena (Launchpad Arena), and a Luxembourg national innovation showcase (Luxembourg Makes It Happen). The event is in its third edition in 2026. Institutional partners include the Government of Luxembourg, the Ville de Luxembourg, the Chamber of Commerce Luxembourg, and Luxinnovation, the Luxembourg national innovation agency. The 2025 edition attracted 8,400+ attendees from 50+ countries, according to the organiser's website.
The 2026 edition is taking place tomorrow (today is 2026-06-09). Tickets are selling at the Last Call rate of €350 HT (€409.50 TTC), valid until 10 June. The 2026 edition targets 10,000+ visitors, 150+ speakers, 250 startups, and 500+ companies across 13,500m² of exhibition space. Confirmed keynote speakers include: Luc Frieden (Prime Minister of Luxembourg), Xavier Bettel (Minister of Foreign Affairs, Luxembourg), Gilles Roth (Minister of Finance, Luxembourg), Octave Klaba (Founder and Chairman, OVHcloud), Dr. Tawfik Jelassi (Assistant Director-General, UNESCO), Vijay Shekhar Sharma (Founder and CEO, Paytm), Eva-Maria Hempe (Head of Public Sector EMEA, NVIDIA), Ayumi Moore Aoki (Founder and President, Tech Diplomacy Global Institute), Jean-Baptiste Kempf (President and Lead Developer, VideoLAN), and Fabien Pinckaers (Founder and CEO, Odoo). 250 startups have been selected across 12 categories to compete for a Grand Prize package exceeding €100,000. Startup applications for the 2026 edition are closed. The 2027 edition is already announced for 9–10 March 2027; startup applications for 2027 open 10 July 2026.
Nexus Luxembourg takes place in early June, placing it alongside Collision (Toronto), immediately after VivaTech (Paris, late May), and before GITEX Europe (Berlin, late June). Within the Luxembourg and wider Benelux tech circuit, it is the highest-profile annual gathering. The Grand Duchy's position as an EU financial centre and home to major satellite, fintech, and space tech companies gives the event a distinct financial-digital blend not typical of pure tech conferences. Its institutional backing from the Luxembourg government and the Chamber of Commerce positions it as an event with formal national endorsement.
Four zones across 13,500m²:

The Launchpad Arena startup categories for 2026 include: AI Applications and Solutions, AI Platforms and Data, Clinical and MedTech Innovation, Cybersecurity, Digital Health and Platforms, Disruptive Finance, Financial Intelligence, GovTech and Digital Society, Green and Climate Tech, Industry 4.0, Smart Mobility and Autonomous Driving, and Space Tech.
It is a privately organised event (organiser: Nexus Luxembourg) with significant institutional support. The Government of Luxembourg, Ville de Luxembourg, Chamber of Commerce Luxembourg, and Luxinnovation are listed as "Premier Institutional Partners." Their logos and involvement are prominent in the event's communications. The Luxembourg Prime Minister and two senior ministers are confirmed keynote speakers for 2026. This public-private structure is atypical among European tech events of comparable size.
250 startups were selected across 12 categories. Each category runs a 90-minute pitch session in the Launchpad Arena. 25 startups compete per category. Applications for the 2026 edition are closed. The Grand Prize package exceeds €100,000; the exact composition is detailed at nexusluxembourg.com/startups-prize. Applications for the 2027 edition open 10 July 2026.

A Maison Moderne publication (listed as the official post-event magazine) covers highlights of each edition.
