Meet the right people at the right time. Matchmaking is open – connect with investors, founders and partners ahead of Luxembourg Venture Days.
Luxembourg Venture Days 2025 organised by Luxinnovation with the Luxembourg Private Equity Association (LPEA) returns on 22–23 October with a clear ambition: to connect startups, scaleups and investors in one of Europe’s most agile and international ecosystems. Whether you are looking to raise capital, expand across borders or meet strategic partners, this is where meaningful growth begins.
The event builds on Luxembourg’s reputation as a launchpad for ventures with global reach. With its multilingual talent pool, central location and strong public-private support, Luxembourg offers a unique blend of agility and access. Luxembourg Venture Days is your chance to experience this ecosystem firsthand – and to pitch where it matters.
One of the event’s most powerful features is its curated matchmaking between startups, scaleups and investors. These targeted B2B meetings are designed to spark meaningful conversations and accelerate dealmaking.
The matchmaking platform is already live. Registered participants can download the Luxembourg Venture Days app from the app store and begin connecting with investors, corporates and fellow founders. The app allows you to schedule meetings, explore profiles and make the most of your time on site.
Whether you are a startup seeking funding or an investor scouting your next portfolio gem, the connections start before the event even begins.
This year’s programme features curated panels, startup pitches and networking sessions designed to spark collaboration. Selected startups and scaleups will pitch in front of decision-makers who can accelerate their journey.
Thematic sessions will spotlight defense (led by the NATO Innovation Fund, with partner Sander Verbrugge), cleantech (led by Cleantech Scandinavia, featuring Industrifonden), cybersecurity (led by 33N) and corporate venture capital (led by the Luxembourg CVC Club).
Investors can look forward to a keynote by US VC Jillian Manus (Structure VC) and exclusive highlights including dedicated sessions with the EIF and sector-specific get-togethers hosted by the NATO Innovation Fund, Cleantech and Cybersecurity communities.
As Viktor Dufour, Founder of Essembl and Fit 4 Start participant, puts it:
“Venture Days was my first real introduction to the Luxembourg startup ecosystem and what an introduction it was. I met partners there that I’m still actively collaborating with today!”
The World Food Programme’s Innovation Accelerator will launch the second edition of the Humanitarian Innovation Accelerator (HIA), powered by the Government of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. HIA supports tech-powered solutions that address urgent challenges faced by vulnerable populations – offering selected ventures financial, technical and methodological support through WFP and its global partner ecosystem.
Luxembourg Venture Days is not just about local success – it is about scaling across borders. As Jillian Manus, Managing Partner at Structure Capital and U.S. Venture Advisor to the European Innovation Council, shared:
“I believe the most transformative ventures are those that invest in values, not just valuations. When we align capital with purpose, we don’t just build companies – we build movements.”
From early-stage founders to seasoned investors, the Luxembourg Venture Days offer a curated environment to explore what is next. Join us in Luxembourg this October and discover why pitching here makes all the difference.
