FINTECH
In recent years, Luxembourg has positioned itself as a frontrunner in the financial technology (abbreviated as FinTech) sector. The presence of a financial centre at the heart of Europe, combined with a stable political, economic and regulatory framework, a business-friendly environment, and the necessary expertise has proved to be fertile ground for FinTech companies to establish themselves in Luxembourg.
