The non-profit organisation, launched by Luxfactory president Jérôme Grandidier, aims to be a voice for startups in the grand duchy. 

Grandidier told Delano’s sister publication Paperjam, “There is a federation for many things in Luxembourg, but not to allow these entrepreneurs, often young and inexperienced, to find themselves in the ecosystem.” Many of the complaints Grandidier has heard on the part of these startups are linked to funding. 

The FLSU will serve its members as a spokesperson with the Luxembourg chamber of commerce, Luxinnovation and the economy ministry, and the FLSU is being supported by both the chamber of commerce and the House of Entrepreneurship. 

Grandidier has confirmed the FLSU will be largely member-driven, with future actions decided by feedback from polls and surveys. Registration on the platform flsu.org is free at the start, and Grandidier anticipates around 150 startups in the grand duchy will join. 

While Grandidier serves as the current president of the organisation, he is supported by Elodie Trojanowski and Jean-Marc Dreystadt. In June, a general meeting will be held to determine a board of directors.
