TOMORROW STREET
in what is widely regarded as a ‘ startup nation .’ Geographically located in central Europe , the country is pushing digitisation and is making its mark as an epicentre for digital disruption .
“ There ’ s so many big , corporate organisations based here in Luxembourg and the beauty of it is that you can actually go and talk to them because they ’ re your neighbours or you ’ re closely associated . The ability to have those conversations without the red tape or hierarchy that normally exists in a bigger country doesn ’ t happen here and I think that ’ s what makes Luxembourg so powerful .”
Ranked 9th in the world for both IT readiness and global innovation , Luxembourg is widely recognised as a driver for innovation . Cramer believes this is largely due to the government ’ s ability to adapt and openmindedness to new technological advancements .
“ The Luxembourg government is great because they are very forward-thinking ,” he says . “ Historically , if you think about where they ’ ve come from , they went from the steel industry to banking , and now to ICT . I think Luxembourg is a very dynamic country with a dynamic government . Now they ’ re doing a lot of work in the innovation sector and they ’ re really helping to foster growth in the sector .”
