The Government of Luxembourg launched the national strategic initiative “Accelerating Digital Sovereignty 2030”.
- Main announcement: Luxembourg launched “Accelerating Digital Sovereignty 2030”, selected as one of the first seven hosts of an EuroHPC AI Factory, and is deploying MeluXina-AI, “a new AI-optimised supercomputer operated by LuxProvide”, expected to provide sovereign HPC to businesses, researchers and public administrations from the second half of 2026. The initiative includes complementary strategies on data, artificial intelligence, and quantum technologies and flagship projects such as MeluXina-Q and the cross-border quantum key distribution link achieved in June 2025.
- Context and implementation details: This is reported in the European Commission’s 2026 Digital Decade short country report for Luxembourg (annex to COM(2026)288). The report notes allocated public budgets including EUR 40 million associated with roadmap measures (representing 8% of the roadmap public budget), EUR 17 million (27% of Luxembourg’s recovery and resilience plan) for digital, and EUR 0.01 billion (17% of cohesion policy funding) for digital transformation; it also records partnerships and membership in EU initiatives (EuroHPC JU, Chips JU, multiple EDICs) and policy instruments such as the Second National Action Plan for Digital Inclusion (January 2026).
