History
The Luxembourg–Ukraine Chamber of Commerce began in 2017 as a business-driven initiative bringing together professionals and entrepreneurs connected to Luxembourg and Ukraine. What started as a platform for networking and sector dialogue gradually evolved into a structured bilateral association with a broader institutional role.
Over the years, LUCC expanded from organising industry events and thematic forums to facilitating business delegations, strategic partnerships and grant-supported initiatives. This evolution reflects both the growing engagement of the Luxembourg–Ukraine business community and the increasing relevance of structured bilateral cooperation.
Foundation and First Steps
The Luxembourg–Ukraine Business Club was established in Luxembourg, marked by the organisation of the first Infrastructure Conference and the creation of a platform aimed at connecting professionals and entrepreneurs interested in bilateral cooperation.
Expanding Sector Dialogue
The Chamber broadened its engagement through the Ukrainian Film Industry Roundtable and the launch of UA.LUX.TECH – the first Luxembourg–Ukraine Tech Forum, reinforcing its focus on sector-driven collaboration.
Growing International Visibility
LUCC strengthened its international presence by organising a Ukrainian Tech Delegation to ICT Spring Europe, hosting the Luxembourg–Ukraine Agri Forum, launching the Success Story Afterwork Entrepreneurship Meetings, and holding the second UA.LUX.TECH Forum.
Resilience and Digital Adaptation
Despite global challenges, the Chamber organised the Industry Forum on Energy Efficiency and CO₂ Reduction and successfully held the third UA.LUX.TECH Forum in an online format.
Community Engagement
The year focused on industry-oriented afterwork networking events, maintaining professional exchange and business connectivity.
Solidarity and Support Initiatives
In response to evolving circumstances, LUCC launched the Business Stands with Ukraine initiative, organised the Summer4Ukraine charity event and Independence Day solidarity celebrations, supported key industry charity events, contributed to the Entrepreneurial Woman Project (9th edition), and facilitated volunteering and employment opportunities for Ukrainian refugees.
Institutional Transformation
The organisation officially transformed into the Luxembourg–Ukraine Chamber of Commerce (LUCC), while hosting the 1st Rapid Recovery of Ukraine Business Forum, the Luxembourg–Ukraine Conference on Energy Efficiency, the 1st Ukrainian Tech Pavilion at ICT Spring, and launching the LUCC Internship Programme.
Strategic Partnerships and Delegations
LUCC organised the 2nd Rapid Recovery of Ukraine Business Forum, partnered with Nexus 2050 to represent Ukraine as Guest Country, showcased Ukrainian companies at Luxembourg Venture Days, co-organised the Humanitarian Forum “Bridges of Solidarity,” facilitated reconstruction-focused financing dialogue with local authorities and financial institutions, and hosted the Christmas Charity Reception.
Structured Growth and Programme Implementation
he Chamber held the 3rd Luxembourg–Ukraine Business Forum, implemented the Empower to Employ (E2E) project with the support of the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) and the Ministry of Labour of Luxembourg, partnered with Nexus 2050 to bring a Ukrainian startup delegation to Luxembourg, and prepared a Luxembourg Delegation to IT Arena 2025 in Lviv.
