Luxembourg X Wisconsin Partnership

Franz Fayot announces an internationalization support program for Luxembourg start-ups wishing to expand into the United States (29.03.2021)

Following the announcement of the internationalization program, gener8tor ran a 3-week digital accelerator with 5 Luxembourg startups to discover the United States from Wisconsin, so that they can start making business contacts and check whether their product is suitable for the American market. The Minister of Economy, in collaboration with Luxinnovation and gener8tor, selected the startups that participated in the program which consisted of workshops, courses and mentoring, but also interactions with local entrepreneurs, investors and large companies active in gener8tor’s partner network. The program which was based in Wisconsin complemented the two existing programs for Luxembourg startups in San Francisco and New York. Similar programs will be offered in the future.
