LU-CIXLU-CIX ASBL, the LUxembourg Internet eXchange, was founded in 2009 based on a not-for-profit membership association with an open and neutral philosophy. It aims to develop and support the Internet and data center ecosystem in Luxembourg by providing the national peering infrastructure and by promoting the national ICT community. LU-CIX brings a major contribution to the Luxembourg Internet community by organising its leading industry event, the Luxembourg Internet Days, which takes place every year and attracts over a thousand industry experts and decision makers from all around the globe. LU-CIX, together with the Chamber of Commerce of Luxembourg and the Ministry for Digitalisation, has launched the instant messaging solution Luxchat for the whole population and enterprises in Luxembourg. This solution, free for users, without advertising and without use of personal data, does respect the privacy of its users. LU-CIX also runs the datacenters-in-europe.com platform, which gathers the Luxembourg data center and Internet related players to promote Luxembourg as the best place for a data center and ICT business in the heart of Europe. LU-CIX GIE was also launched in 2009 to operate the Internet eXchange infrastructure. In 2021, the Luxembourgish State, together with LU-CIX GIE, launched MyConnectivity G.I.E. to support the access to high performance connectivity for all (private households and businesses) in the context of the 5G and ultra-high-speed national strategies.
