The Hidden Cost of Luxembourg’s Tech Talent Gap
Analyzing Luxembourg's tech talent gap: why we're falling behind despite our digital ambitions, and what concrete steps we need to take to stay competitive.
While we pride ourselves on being a digital nation, the reality is sobering:
💾 80% of companies report difficulty finding IT professionals
📊 Training programs aren’t scaling fast enough
🏠 Cross-border talent faces housing challenges
As a member of the Higher Education & Digitalization Committee, I see both the potential and the hurdles. We’re losing opportunities to neighboring countries who are moving faster on talent development and retention.
Yes, we have excellent initiatives, but good isn’t good enough in the global race for talent. We need:
👍 Faster recognition of international qualifications
👍 More aggressive investment in local tech education
👍 Better integration support for tech professionals
