About the Grand Duchy of\u00a0Luxembourg<\/span>:<\/b><\/p>\n

For nearly four decades,\u00a0Luxembourg<\/span>\u00a0has been at the forefront of commercial and co-operative initiatives that have shaped a vibrant space economy.\u00a0Luxembourg’s<\/span>\u00a0first foray into space came in 1985, with the creation of the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Europ\u00e9enne des Satellites (SES), a landmark for satellite telecommunications and a global leader in this sector today. Further space-related services and businesses have developed alongside SES, giving birth to an entire space industry in\u00a0Luxembourg<\/span>. Today, the space sector’s contribution to national GDP is among the highest in\u00a0Europe<\/span>.\u00a0Luxembourg<\/span>\u00a0launched the SpaceResources.lu initiative in 2016 as the next step in its drive to develop a cutting-edge space industry by positioning the Grand-Duchy as a center for the exploration and utilization of space resources.<\/p>\n
