The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg adopts an ambitious plan called Talent4Luxembourg developed by the Chamber of Commerce in December 2025. This plan, structured around 34 concrete recommendations, aims to meet future demographic challenges and the growing needs for qualified labour in order to maintain the competitiveness of the Luxembourg economy.
This plan is based on six key strategic directions aimed at strengthening the country's international attractiveness, facilitating the integration of talent and promoting local and international skills.
Despite a dynamic economy, Luxembourg is facing increasing pressure on its labor market: according to projections, The country will have to recruit around 335,000 people by 2040 to replace retirements and fill the new jobs created, which represents nearly 68% of current paid employment. This situation is exacerbated by a marked demographic ageing and structural dependence on foreign workers, who represent around 74% of employees.
In this context, the Chamber of Commerce observes that” Ensuring the sustainability and competitiveness of our economy requires clear guidelines and targeted measures to ensure the availability of the most varied profiles sought by businesses. ”, As stated Carlo Thelen, Director General of the Chamber of Commerce, during the presentation of the Talent4Luxembourg plan.
The Talent4Luxembourg plan is based on six strategic guidelines. Each aims to structure, in the medium and long term, a coherent and operational talent policy:
This orientation aims to better anticipate skills needs. The aim is to strengthen the governance of data on available and future profiles, and to adapt training and career guidance to the needs of the labour market.
The plan highlights the importance of strengthening the country's international visibility and creating a strong national employer brand. This includes targeted promotional actions as well as initiatives that facilitate the reception of talents and their families.
The speed and clarity of procedures related to the arrival and installation of foreign workers are essential to remain competitive in the global talent market. The plan aims to streamline these procedures and to facilitate the recognition of professional qualifications.
In addition to administrative procedures, the social and professional integration of talents requires the improvement of reception conditions, access to services for families and the development of an inclusive multicultural environment.
Another proposed approach is to integrate English, whose use is progressing strongly, especially in professional circles, as an official language, while maintaining Luxembourgish as the language of integration.
The plan pays particular attention to talent aged 45 and over, who is considered a strategic resource in light of the aging population and skills needs.
Finally, it is a question of developing skills in strategic sectors, such as artificial intelligence and defense, in order to support the diversification of the national economy.

Among the concrete projects put forward, Muriel Morbé, Talent & Skills Director of the Chamber of Commerce, emphasized the importance of setting up a one-stop shop to simplify the attraction and integration of talent:” Luxembourg must be made a real “Talent Hub”, capable of attracting, integrating and retaining the talents that our economy needs. ”.
This also involves a specific support program for spouses of international talent, who are often facing difficulties in integrating into the local job market.
Talent4Luxembourg is an ambitious strategic roadmap that aims to respond to one of Luxembourg's major challenges: ensuring the availability of talent in a context of increased international competition. By structuring its recommendations around six clear guidelines and by proposing concrete measures, the Chamber of Commerce intends to contribute to a coherent national talent policy, shared by businesses, public authorities and socio-economic actors.
The effective implementation of these recommendations will be essential to ensure the future competitiveness of the Luxembourg economy, strengthen its international attractiveness and guarantee the sustainable integration of talent in the service of the country's development.
