In 2014, Luxembourg was selected by the European Mobile & Mobility Industries Alliance (EMMIA) to stimulate the country’s potential for innovation in mobile services and applications. In this context, the Cluster organised an event that led to recommendations in the fields of new technologies, open data and mobility that were integrated into the final version of the European EMMIA study.
With a per capita purchasing power of more than 30,000 euros per year, Luxembourg is home to 540,000 of the EU’s wealthiest citizens. Even the difference to its neighbor Belgium is striking, according to the latest purchasing power figures for Europe prepared by RegioData. A Luxembourger living in the capital currently has an average per capita purchasing power of 36,000 euros per year. Only 1.5 hours away is the Belgian city of Liege, whose purchasing power is more than 40% lower.
