Looking for jobs in Luxembourg? These industries are hiring now

When you think of jobs in Luxembourg, the most obvious professions that comes to mind usually involve financial services. Banking, funds and fintech remain a cornerstone of the economy, but other sectors also have interesting job prospects.

For many years, the country has developed several cutting-edge industries from space and AI to health technologies. Right now, Luxembourg companies are hiring in these fast-moving fields. And in some occupations in very high demand within these sectors, companies are able to fast-track the process for seeking international workers to help fill them.

We take a look at five fields that offer interesting job prospects. 

Space

You may be surprised to hear that Luxembourg plays a big role in space technology, but the country has a long history in this sector. Its first pioneering move was the government’s support to the creation of SES, now a world-leading satellite operator with around 600 employees working at its Luxembourg headquarters. 

This spirit of innovation is still very much alive and well today. In 2016, Luxembourg became the first country in Europe – and the second one globally – to establish a legal framework for space resources exploration and use. This initiative contributed to establishing the country as a European hub for commercial space businesses. 

Today, the space community comprises over 80 companies and research centres. There is a constant demand for skilled workers who are looking to take one giant leap in their career. The Luxembourg Space Agency provides an overview of open job opportunities. 

Healthtech 

Luxembourg is also home to a young and dynamic healthtech sector including 130 companies. The community is young and innovative – over one-third of businesses were founded less than 10 years ago.

The focus is on data-driven healthcare, personalised medicine and next generation health solutions. Many companies develop medical devices and health software, using cloud and web technologies, diagnostics and imaging, data science and analytics, and artificial intelligence. Over the past five years, the number of people working in the field has increased by more than 30%. 

If healthtech is your field, the Grand Duchy is on the rise and ready for what is coming next. The ecosystem is open and collaborative.

Artificial intelligence

Looking to join the momentum in AI? Luxembourg is worth a closer look. It is home to one of the EU’s AI Factories that will pool EU and national resources to support businesses in the adoption of AI solutions through advanced solution building, AI maturity assessments, regulatory sandboxes and more. 

The Luxembourg AI Factory supports all companies – startups, SMEs and large corporations – from exploration to execution. The MeluXina supercomputer provides advanced computing power to spark AI innovation in finance, space, cybersecurity and the green economy. 

Luxembourg’s AI landscape includes technology providers, solution developers, innovative users and support communities. 85% of companies developing AI solutions are less then 10 years old, which confirms the recent surge in AI entrepreneurship. It also results in a wide range of exciting job opportunities.

Digital economy & data analytics

AI is not the only emerging field in tech around here. With a growing startup scene and opportunities in fintech, cybersecurity and data science, it is no surprise that Luxembourg has the second highest percentage of ICT specialists in total employment in Europe. 

A hub for data analytics, Luxembourg has state-of-the-art infrastructure and the highest density of top-secure Tier IV data centres in the EU. Thanks to the government’s Open Data strategy, there are vast amounts of public information resources that can be used for groundbreaking insights, solutions and projects. 

Luxembourg is a key location for tech professionals, so if you work in ICT and are looking for an international, dynamic environment, Luxembourg might just be the place for you.  

Green technology & sustainability

Looking to make a real impact in cleantech and the circular economy? For Luxembourg, the shift towards a green economy is not only an environmental imperative – it is a catalyst for innovation, industrial modernisation and sustainable value creation across all sectors. 

Luxembourg is home to around 500 “sustainability enablers” – technology providers helping companies to innovate to become more sustainable. The country is also a leader in eco-friendly finance. The Luxembourg Green Exchange (LGX) is a global first for sustainable investments, attracting investors worldwide and reinforcing the nation’s role as a leader in environmental responsibility.

With the Product Circularity Data Sheet (PCDS), Luxembourg pioneers an innovative approach in the intersection between data and sustainability. The PCDS provides standardised information on how products are designed and manufactured throughout their lifecycle, enabling the "virtuous circle" model where raw materials and products are designed for reuse, recycling, or regeneration. 

All in all, if eco-friendly living and sustainable innovation are close to your heart, Luxembourg is an excellent place to build a career and a life.
