Access to talent

Look over regulations for opening hours, restaurant availability etc.

• the new talents demand quality of life, companies nowadays move to where the tal-ent is. In order to attract talent some basic needs must be fulfilled such as the possi-bility to go shopping outside working hours (and also on Sun-days),a vibrant club and restaurant life etc. The trend now in for instance the US is that people move to city centres and don't want to stay in suburbs.

Support cultural life

• asking the talented people many of them mention culture as one factor when they decide where to start up a company. Culture today is many things. Policy makers should improve possibilities for companies and talents in the cultural sector to estab-lish themselves in Luxembourg through for instance tax incentives.

Benchmark towards cities like London, Malmo in order to understand what attracts young talented people

• especially Malmo has gone from a boring city in the 70's to a vibrant city with the highest number of mobile app companies in Europe. A simple study visit for policy makers in order to find out what the city did could bring light on new ways of attract-ing talent.

Improve service structure in Luxembourg

• Luxembourg is an international hub with people coming from all over the world. The level of service is high, but the delivery is sometimes very poor. The region should take initiative to start a branding activity where everybody -from bus drivers to people in the airport security - learns how to be a living positive trademark for Luxembourg.

Streamline the VISA process for people outside EU

• Europe doesn't have enough talented people; that also includes Luxembourg. Today the VISA process it too complicated for those coming from outside EU, a simplified digital process should be implemented.

Build collaboration with construction companies in order to find innovative ways of reducing cost of living in Luxembourg

• cost of living in Luxembourg is high and there is a lack of both affordable office space and living space. New creative solutions could include more collaboration with construction companies in order to build more suitable spaces for start ups and also for their employees.
