Why Invest in Luxembourg?
Luxembourg is an established financial centre at the heart of Europe, easily accessible by air and land. The very proactive government is determined to diversify the economic sectors and industries to provide alternatives to the dominance of banking, public sector and European institutions. The success of this strategy in answering the Why invest in Luxembourg? question is evident from the burgeoning IT industry, with the presence of such major players as Amazon, AOL and Skype.
Luxembourg’s promising investment fund sector has also generated tremendous growth in the number of domiciled real estate investment funds, bringing in much asset management expertise. This has created a need for professional and advisory services, especially in the field of valuations and capital markets.
