The “People’s Vote Project” is being organised by IMS Luxembourg, the Chamber of Commerce and the economy ministry. 

The project focuses on inspiring techniques and practices used by companies in the grand duchy. The practices are divided into 6 categories: energy, construction, mobility, food, industry and finance, IMS Luxembourg said on 25 August. 

Eligible companies need to be based in grand duchy, have one or more “inspiring practice” in place, and must be able to present at the Luxembourg Sustainability Forum held on Tuesday 21 November. 

On the day of the event, the representative of the company will showcase their practices in a 100-second pitch on stage. 

Winning practices will be honoured as “People’s Vote Projects.” 

Registration is free and open until 10 October. The submission form can be requested by email: [email protected]

The Third Industrial Revolution is a strategic study commissioned by the government and led by the US economist Jeremy Rifkin that aims to make Luxembourg’s “existing economic model more sustainable and interconnected”.
