LIST Mission >>
LIST brings together diverse and complementary skills in information and communication technologies, environmental technologies, biotechnologies and advanced materials. This unique grouping makes it possible to create synergies essential for building a reinvented economy and society. In this way, LIST enables adopting of a holistic approach to complex problems such as rejuvenating industry, modernising mobility, digitalising the economy, the sustainable management of energy and natural resources, and space technologies. Our aim: to be a catalyst for high-impact innovation.
LIST aims to become the benchmark for research and innovation in the environment, informatics, materials and space. As a trusted partner for Luxembourg businesses, universities and public institutions, we aim to become a game changer. This starts with projects that are carried out locally, but which could potentially have a European-wide or even global impact. We want to position Luxembourg as a model for Europe and the world. The size of the country enables us to make quick progress and generate high-impact innovations in good time for our partners and our country. By doing this, we want to pave the way for a new generation of RTOs (Research and Technology Organisations) with local impact and global standing.
