The biggest career mistake isn't choosing the wrong sector. It's never discovering the right one.

Most developers think of "IT jobs" as software companies, consultancies, or start-ups.

But today's software developers build systems that power:

  • logistics and supply chains
  • banking and financial services
  • mobility and transportation
  • cybersecurity and data protection
  • Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing
  • space technologies
  • health and care innovation
  • sustainability and clean technologies
  • and other sectors you might not have considered yet

The reality? Your future career may not be defined by the programming language you use, but by the industry and problems you choose to work on.

What are the Industry Talks? The purpose of the Industry Talks series is simple:

Discover sectors you may never have considered

Meet industry experts, hidden champions, and key actors from Luxembourg's economic landscape

Understand the Luxembourg business ecosystem and how it works

Discover companies that are hiring, including potential employers you may never have considered for an IT career

Build your first professional connections and expand your network beyond the classroom

See where your profile and technical skills fit

Explore real-world career paths and opportunities beyond "traditional IT"


🎤 Industry Talks: The Startup Ecosystem in Luxembourg: Key Numbers, Trends and Actors 💻

🎯 Industry talk with Mikael Da Silva, Manager, PULSE – Luxembourg Startups Association

Many developers dream of joining a startup. Few actually understand how startups are built.

When people think about startups, they often picture a great idea, a small team, and rapid growth. But behind every startup lies a network of founders, investors, incubators, support organisations, and technology-driven products.

This is a sector where software is often the product itself. Startups rely heavily on technical talent to transform ideas into viable businesses, making digital skills one of the most valuable assets in the ecosystem.

🚀 Mikael Da Silva will provide an overview of Luxembourg's startup landscape, the key actors supporting founders, the latest trends in innovation and funding, and how students can get involved in the ecosystem.

🧠 During the session, you'll gain insight into:

  • the key numbers and trends shaping Luxembourg's startup ecosystem
  • the organisations, incubators, and investors that support startups
  • how startups are built and grow in Luxembourg
  • the opportunities available for future IT professionals and entrepreneurs

If you want to discover where your technical skills could help shape the next generation of innovative companies, this session will help you explore a dynamic ecosystem full of opportunities.
