Nexus Luxembourg 2026: 10,000 Attendees, 150 Speakers, 500 Startups Across Two Days at Luxexpo

Nexus Luxembourg, the Grand Duchy's flagship technology symposium and exhibition, returns for its third edition on 10-11 June 2026 at Luxexpo The Box. The 2026 edition is the largest yet — 10,000-plus attendees expected, 150-plus speakers, 500-plus startups across the exhibition floor, and participation from over 50 countries.

What the event is for

Three audiences in roughly equal weight. Investors looking for European-domiciled deal flow with Luxembourg-friendly structuring options. Corporates looking for technology partners, particularly in AI, fintech, space and cybersecurity. And startup founders looking for both — capital and customers — in a single concentrated 48-hour window. The format combines main-stage keynotes with vertical-specific tracks, side rooms for closed roundtables, and an exhibition floor that scales horizontally each year.

The 2026 emphasis

Two through-lines. Artificial intelligence: Luxembourg's AI4LUX campaign, the AI Factory, the imminent MeluXina-AI launch, and the country's broader AI-sovereignty narrative all converge in the Nexus programme. The Brussels Economic Forum's parallel AI focus a month earlier feeds intellectual airflow into Nexus. Fintech and tokenisation: with State Street choosing Luxembourg for tokenised fund servicing and a steady cadence of MiCA-related activity, the financial-technology track is set to be one of the most heavily attended.

The startups

500-plus exhibitors covers a range from very early-stage local companies to mid-stage internationals using Luxembourg as a European base. The Luxembourg-domiciled cohort — including Tokeny Solutions, Space Cargo Unlimited, OQ Technology, S.P.O.N.S.O.R., Talkwalker (now part of Hootsuite), and others — anchors the local presence. The international participation reflects what the Luxembourg startup ecosystem is selling: regulatory clarity, fund domiciliation, EU access and a small-country institutional accessibility that hard to find in larger markets.

The wider tech-event calendar

Nexus complements rather than replaces the existing event ecosystem: ICT Spring (June), Space Resources Week (May), the various ALFI fund-industry conferences, and the Paperjam Club's year-round programme. The Brussels Economic Forum on 7 May 2026, with its AI focus, sets the macro context. Nexus's positioning is broader-tech and start-up-heavy; ICT Spring is more enterprise-IT and mature-vendor weighted.

Why this matters for Luxembourg

For a country whose economic model depends on importing capital, talent and ideas, having a credible annual technology gathering of this scale is structural infrastructure. Cities ten times Luxembourg's size run smaller events. Nexus's 2026 edition is a meaningful indicator of whether the country's startup-and-tech narrative is starting to draw the kind of international attention the AI4LUX framework is designed to capture.
