Deloitte - Luxembourg needs to foster a culture of entrepreneurship
Luxembourg will need to reinvent itself to remain economically competitive, according to discussions at the fifth annual Horizon conference, organized by Deloitte earlier this month
The financial services industry in Luxembourg is still going strong. However, the discussions at the Horizon conference show that there is a general understanding in Luxembourg that we must develop other areas as well. We must scale up our digital capabilities, attract talent, and foster entrepreneurship. The Mind & Market initiative is an important step in this direction
Pascal Martino, Partner at Deloitte Luxembourg
The Horizon conference analyzed the future of the financial services industry and highlighted the increasing need for Luxembourg to diversify its economy and foster entrepreneurship. The pace of change is moving rapidly—whether regulatory, digital, or otherwise. Several speakers underlined the need for Luxembourg to think new, go digital, attract talent, and grow a culture of entrepreneurship.
Dare to dream
At the Horizon conference, several speakers stated that Luxembourg’s Achilles heel is that it does not encourage the entrepreneurial spirit and that it is necessary to invest in education about entrepreneurship. The speakers, among which the entrepreneur and businessman Gérard Lopez, called for Luxembourg to “dare to dream” by fostering a culture of risk-taking that does not equate failing with being a failure. With government investment and changes in education, entrepreneurship, and innovation could be the future of Luxembourg.
“The financial services industry in Luxembourg is still going strong. However, the discussions at the Horizon conference show that there is a general understanding in Luxembourg that we must develop other areas as well. We must scale up our digital capabilities, attract talent, and foster entrepreneurship. The Mind & Market initiative is an important step in this direction,” commented Pascal Martino, Partner at Deloitte Luxembourg.
Some of the main conclusions of the Horizon conference were that Luxembourg must make an effort to reform its educational system, improve the overall perception of Luxembourg, and make the country a more dynamic hub for professionals.
