📋 Tender Overview
On June 16, the European Commission published the third report on the progress of the digital decade. This report analyzes the collective progress made by the EU to achieve the digital transition of Europe by 2030. The documentation includes reports by country relating to the digital decade which more closely examine the progress made individually by each Member State during the past year. They contain specific recommendations and assessments which are supposed to guide the Member States in their digital transformation efforts until 2030. The overall analysis of the Commission highlights the progress made by EU member states in certain areas, including basic coverage in 5G and the deployment of periphery nodes. Nevertheless, several key areas, in particular fundamental digital technologies as well as ICT specialists and basic digital skills, require reinforced measures in order to achieve the objectives set for 2030. Luxembourg strong points: connectivity infrastructure, employment in the ICT sector and digital public services in the 2025 report, the European Commission welcomes Luxembourg as a precursor European in terms of digitization, in particular thanks to targeted investments in advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum technologies and the sovereign cloud . In terms of technological leadership and competitiveness, Luxembourg maintains a very efficient digital environment, based on a solid connectivity infrastructure with almost universal 5G coverage (99.6 %) and a very high capacity network (VHCN) covering 95.2 % of the territory. Luxembourgs connectivity infrastructure is one of its main advantages and remains far above the EU average. However, the adoption of the cloud and data analysis remains a challenge for businesses, especially for small businesses. The basic level of digital intensity of Luxembourg SMEs (70.27 %) is slightly lower than the EU average. Despite a strong adoption of artificial intelligence by companies (23.73 %), exceeding the European average, continuous attention will be necessary to guarantee a generalized digital transformation and reach the objective set for 2030. Although the startup ecosystem displays promising growth, there are opportunities to strengthen scale-ups by facilitating better access to private venture capital. At the same time, Luxembourg has a real leadership in the fields of artificial intelligence and quantum technologies, in particular through the deployment of Meluxina-Ai and its selection as part of the European AI Factories initiative. Sovereignty and cybersecurity remain at the heart of Luxembourgs digital strategy, with efforts focused on strengthening the sovereign cloud, promoting open source tools via an Open Source Program Office (OSPO), as well as the development of national cybersecurity solutions incorporating specific sectoral protective measures. With 8.0 % of its workforce used as ICT specialists, Luxembourg displays the second highest proportion within the EU. That said, the percentage of the population with basic digital skills remains at 60.1 %, with persistent disparities between demographic groups, which underlines the need to continue improvement efforts. Luxembourg continues to exceed in digital public services compared to the EU average, already approaching the objectives set for 2030 in terms of online public services, with a score of 97.7 for citizens, while already reaching a score of 100 for companies. With regard to the availability of electronic medical data, the Luxembourg score remains unchanged (76.1) and is slightly below the European Union average. According to a commanded study of the European Commission, Luxembourg was one of the most active member states in the implementation of the, with more than 100 initiatives in total and 20 new initiatives launched in 2024. Concrete actions at the national level to achieve the objectives at the national level, the implementation of the political program of the digital decade is coordinated by the media, connectivity and digital policy service and implement interministerial, supervised by the Interministerial Committee for Digital Policy. The whole report on the state of the digital decade is available on the site. The Luxembourg 2025 report on the digital decade is available.
