Financial sector involvement

Arrange meeting places between the financial institutes (investors) and start ups in order to make them aware of the possibility also to invest in companies in Luxembourg

• a very concrete action is to start up regular breakfast meetings with the advi-sors working for the capital funds (even though there are some initiatives that could be de-veloped) or in the bank sector and new start ups. Interesting meeting places are one way of getting more knowledge about Luxembourg start ups and SME's to the finan-cial sector. The cross over field between IT and Finance is one of the fastest growing fields in mobile and IT. In for instance Copenhagen the CFIR initiave could be one to study and copy those parts that are relevant for Luxembourg.

Involve the financial sector in building a start up scene in Luxembourg more actively

• this could include several different actions and one could be that the financial insti-tutes let start ups use parts of their office space. (like the Luxfuturelab) during some days in the week in order to create more collaboration between the traditional finan-cial sector and new mobile services especially since the actors like PWC and KPMG more and more supports start ups.

Help creating more meeting places between financial sector, mobile start ups and new ar-eas (like health)

• see above. The financial sector could also be more present in the incubators, like they are in for instance Ideon where many financial actors have a dedicated office in order to be close to the entrepreneurs

Start "Bank Innovation Day" where entrepreneurs meet the financial sector in order to im-prove financial service

• a yearly event, also attracting international visitors, is a good way to build the buzz around new financial services going mobile. The event could take advantage of exist-ing infrastructure such as Accenture BeLux awards.
