Digital Decade Country Report 2025 Luxembourg remains a key contributor to the EU's Digital Decade objectives and targets

On the 16th of June, the European Commission released the third report on the State of the Digital Decade. The report analyses the collective progress made by the EU towards achieving Europe's digital transition until 2030.

The report includes the specific Digital Decade Country Reports that have a closer look at each Member State's individual achievements over the last year. These reports contain country specific recommendations and evaluations, that should guide each Member State in its digital transformation towards the end of the decade.

The Commission's overall analysis shows high levels of target achievement in certain areas such as basic 5G coverage and the deployment of edge nodes. Nonetheless, several key domains, particularly foundational digital technologies along with ICT specialists and basic digital skills, require strengthened action to achieve the 2030 goals.

Luxembourg's strengths: leading in connectivity infrastructure, ICT employment and digital public services

In the 2025's report, Luxembourg is praised by the Commission as being an "European frontrunner in digitalisation, notably through targeted investments in frontier technologies such as AI, quantum technologies, and sovereign cloud".

Regarding technological leadership and competitiveness, Luxembourg sustains a high performing digital environment, by relying on a strong connectivity infrastructure with nearly universal 5G (99.6%) and very high-capacity network (VHCN) coverage (95.2%). Luxembourg's connectivity infrastructure constitutes one of its key strengths and remains well above the EU average.

However, the adoption of cloud and data analytics remains a challenge for businesses in Luxembourg, particularly for smaller companies. The basic level of digital intensity of Luxembourgish SME's (70.27%) is just below the EU average. Despite strong AI adoption, with 23.73% of enterprises and surpassing the EU average, continued attention will be needed to ensure widespread digital transformation and achieve the 2030 target. While the startup ecosystem demonstrates promising growth, there are opportunities to strengthen the scale-up pipeline by facilitating greater access to private venture capital. At the same time, Luxembourg shows leadership in AI and quantum, notably through the deployment of MeluXina-AI and its selection for the EU's AI Factories initiative.

Sovereignty and cybersecurity remain central to Luxembourg's digital strategy, with efforts focused on strengthening sovereign cloud, promoting open-source tools via an Open Source Program Office (OSPO), and developing national cybersecurity solutions with sector-specific safeguards.

With 8.0% of its workforce employed as ICT specialists, Luxembourg has the second-highest share in the EU. That said, the percentage of the population with basic digital skills remains at 60.1%, with persistent disparities between demographic groups, highlighting the need to continue improvement efforts.

Luxembourg continues to excel in digital public services compared to EU averages, nearing the 2030 target for citizens with a score of 97.7 while already reaching a score of 100 for businesses. Regarding access to e-health records, Luxembourg's score remains the same (76.1), scoring slightly below the EU average.

According to a support study commissioned by the European Commission, Luxembourg has been one of the most active Member States in implementing the European Declaration on Digital Rights and Principles, with over 100 initiatives overall and 20 new initiatives launched in 2024.

Concrete action at national level to achieve our objectives.

On the national level, the implementation of the Digital Decade Policy Programme is coordinated by the Department of Media, Connectivity and Digital Policy and is executed through an interministerial effort, supervised by the interministerial committee on digital policy.
