Background

During 2013 the EMMIA Policy Learning Platform performed a study - Mobilise Europe - in order to see what the drivers are behind the most successful regions in Europe when it comes to mobile service development and mobile industry. The study showed that there are actions for policy makers to take in order to improve the start up environment and that some of those actions could be easily implemented.

During the work with the study we also found out that regions on different levels need different types of policy actions and recommendations. These recommendations have been divided into three different levels and can be individually adapted to different regions that have the ambition to develop excellency within the field of mobile technology and mobile services.

In 2014 three European regions decided to become innovation partners with the EMMIA PLP project and one of them is Luxembourg. Luxembourg represents one of those regions that, with the right policy actions, could achieve excellence within specific areas and develop new fast growing companies in order to make Europe become the leader within mobile technology and services again.

This report has been made in collaboration with Luxinnovation in Luxembourg. The methodology behind is an empiric study consisting of workshops with relevant representatives for the mobile industry in Luxembourg, but also start ups, public officials and persons with an outside view. The results are mainly based on crowd sourced knowledge around how to improve the conditions for start ups in the mobile field in Luxembourg combined with statistical data on for instance mobile readiness.
