Luxembourg’s leading English-language media outlet, Delano, has revealed an ambitious development plan for 2023.

Under its new baseline “Luxembourg’s financial community”, Delano will primarily focus on Luxembourg’s financial centre, but also include news, analysis and informed comment on politics, business, technology, diplomacy, international relations and business, and cultural and practical information for Luxembourg’s international community.

Delano will continue to serve readers living in Luxembourg, as well as an international audience that wants to know more about the grand duchy.

The magazine will become a quarterly, built around four core themes:

- Delano Alternative Investments, published 24 March 2023

- Delano Expat Guide, published 14 July 2023

- Delano Finance 100, published 22 September 2023

- Delano Tech 100, published 17 November 2023

Delano will switch to a new, lighter type of paper, reducing its weight--and its carbon footprint--by more than 30%.

, Delano’s publisher and founder and CEO of Maison Moderne, the company that produces Delano, stated: “Since Delano launched in 2011, it not only has become Luxembourg’s leading English-language media, but it has developed into a media ecosystem with a digital outlet, newsletters, a magazine and, together with its sister-publication Paperjam, a Business Club. That places Delano at the heart of the business and finance community in Luxembourg.”

Koedinger continued: “I would like to express my gratitude to Duncan Roberts, who joined Maison Moderne in 2008 and worked on Delano since its inception. His relentless efforts made Delano the leader it is today.”
