About this event

Safe and Secure Luxembourg: Attracting and Retaining International Talent

Luxembourg has long been recognised as one of Europe’s safest and most attractive destinations for international talent, yet recent public debate around perceived declines in safety has raised concerns among residents, employers, and newcomers.  This high‑level event will bring together government and city leaders to present concrete initiatives to strengthen public safety, enhance law enforcement capabilities, and maintain Luxembourg’s reputation as a secure place to live and work.

Participants will gain insight into ongoing and upcoming initiatives from the Ministry of Home Affairs and the City of Luxembourg, legislative reforms to address evolving security challenges, and the government’s strategy to safeguard Luxembourg’s global image as a trusted, welcoming destination for international professionals and their families.  The discussion will also highlight the planned timeline for implementing improvements, ensuring transparency and measurable progress beyond stated intentions.
