FUTURING INSURANCE
Futuring is about building on experience and anticipating future needs. Insurance is inextricably linked to the future, but it’s not a profession which involves gazing into a crystal ball. Assessment of risk has become a science which tames an almost limitless set of variables and data. Luxembourg provides the insurer with a steady base to manage these variables. The country’s economic, legal and regulatory stability mesh with a fine-grained choice of tools and talents to understand interconnected risk and prepare for uncertainty. This is an outward looking nation. With the overwhelming majority of written premiums being for international clients, Luxembourg is the EU centre for cross border insurance. Home to a dedicated insurance regulator, well versed in trans-national projects, Luxembourg is serious about the business of protecting the future.
FUTURING FINTECH
Futuring is about building on experience and anticipating future needs. To flourish, innovation needs an environment that’s ‘just right’. A place where fresh ideas are valued, new approaches are developed and the tools are available to turn ideas into reality. Luxembourg has proven itself to be such a place in the past, and it’s doing so again now. Here, finance and technology are evolving together, fast. It’s no coincidence that many FinTech pioneers have chosen to offer their financial products and services across the EU from Luxembourg. They belong to a growing community of FinTech entrepreneurs working together with banks, insurers and asset managers to turbo-boost a whole new digital ecosystem for finance.

Luxembourg is the primary centre for listing green bonds and the leading European domicile for responsible and impact funds. A pioneer in cross-border fund distribution and sustainable finance labels, Luxembourg offers a new generation of investors the instruments needed to finance positive, sustainable change.
