Nexus Luxembourg 2027 takes place at Luxexpo The Box, located in the Kirchberg district of Luxembourg City.
Luxexpo The Box is directly connected to Luxembourg City by tram, and all public transport is free in Luxembourg! As parking around the venue is limited, we strongly encourage participants to use public transport whenever possible.
For accommodation, we recommend booking early, as hotels in Luxembourg may be highly requested during major business events. Staying in Luxembourg City, especially in Kirchberg, the city centre or near a direct public transport connection to Luxexpo The Box, is recommended.
If partner hotel rates will be communicated through the official Nexus Luxembourg channels.
Yes. Every participant must obtain a personal ticket through the official ticket shop (opens in a new tab). This also applies to speakers, exhibitors and media partners: all participants must go through the official ticketing process to obtain their ticket.
Tickets are personal and must correspond to the participant’s own name and email address.
Your access ticket will be available in the Nexus Luxembourg app. The app is also used for the programme, event information and matchmaking features.
After purchasing your ticket, you will receive an email with instructions on how to log in to the app.
Please make sure you have downloaded the app and logged into your account before arriving at the venue and collecting your badge. We recommend configuring your profile in the app immediately after purchasing your ticket.
Tickets are personal and non-transferable. Each participant receives a badge valid for both event days, displaying their name, company and personal matchmaking QR code.
If another person needs access, they must register for their own ticket using their own details.
The Nexus Luxembourg app is the main tool for participants. It contains your access ticket, the event programme, exhibitor and startup profiles, networking tools and matchmaking features.
Every participant must download the app in order to access their personal ticket and collect their badge at the venue. We strongly recommend downloading the app and logging into your account before arriving at Luxexpo The Box.
Yes. The matchmaking tool allows participants to connect and schedule meetings before and during the event, once the app and networking features are available.
The GO International Meetup Zone is the designated area for these meetings. Access to this zone is only allowed during your confirmed meeting time, and the meeting confirmation may be requested at the entrance.
The Closing Seated Dinner is reserved for invited guests. Access is granted through the main QR code in the Nexus Luxembourg app. There is no separate dinner ticket or separate QR code.

Applications are intended for registered startups and scaleups developing innovative, scalable solutions and looking to grow in Luxembourg, Europe and internationally.
A startup or scaleup is understood as a legal, registered entity with an innovative product, service, technology or business model, strong growth potential and the ambition to scale. It must not be just an idea or an individual project.
The company may operate in one of the 12 categories and may be at different stages of development, provided it is not older than 10 years. There are no restrictions on the amount of capital raised.
To apply, the founder or legal representative must be at least 18 years old. The applicant must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
Individual inventors, ideas or pre-incorporation projects are not eligible unless a legal company structure already exists.
The application fee for the 2027 Startups & Scaleups Awards is €99 incl. VAT.
All applications are reviewed by the selection committee. If the startup or scaleup is selected, participation in the Awards is included and gives access to the benefits linked to the programme, including the exhibition stand and pitch slot during Nexus Luxembourg 2027.
First, log out and log back in, or try opening the form in a private/incognito browser window. If the issue remains, contact support@nexuslux.net with your startup name, the email used for registration, a screenshot and a short description of the problem.
Applications close on 16 November 2026 at noon CET.
The application form requires the startup’s logo, company description and pitch deck in PDF format. This pitch deck is requested for the application review only.
After the application deadline on 16 November, the review committee evaluates all eligible applications and selects the startups and scaleups that will take part in Nexus Luxembourg 2027.
Selected and non-selected startups will be contacted by email on 10 December 2026.
The 2027 Startups & Scaleups Awards include 12 categories. All categories, including their descriptions, are available here: https://nexusluxembourg.com/startups-awards-2027
If your startup fits within several categories, please choose the one that best represents your main solution, market or growth focus.
If your startup does not clearly fit into any category, select the closest one and explain the relevance of your application in your pitch deck or company description.
The selection committee may suggest a more suitable category if necessary.
Each selected startup participating in the Awards will benefit from:
Each selected startup has 3 minutes to pitch on stage. Over the course of the two event days, the startups of each category will pitch one after the other in front of the jury.
No. For timing reasons, there will be no Q&A with the jury after the pitch.
Pitches will take place during Nexus Luxembourg 2027 on 9–10 March.
Selected startups will be informed of their exact pitch slot two weeks before the event. Presence during both event days and at the Awards Ceremony is mandatory.
A strong pitch should clearly explain the problem, the solution, the market opportunity, the business model, traction, differentiation, team strength and scalability. It should also explain why Europe or Luxembourg is relevant to your growth strategy.
The 3-minute pitch timing is strict. Startups should rehearse carefully and avoid technical overload. Microphones may be cut once the allocated time has elapsed.
Selected startups will receive access to the relevant startup dashboard. Pitch decks must be uploaded through the platform befor February 10.
The expected formats are only PPT/PPTX. If your presentation includes videos, they should be embedded directly in the deck.
The Startups & Scaleups Awards Ceremony will take place on Day 2, Wednesday 10 March, from 17:45 to 18:30 on the Horizon Stage. The winners will be announced during the ceremony and not before.
For 2027, participation in the Awards does not automatically include a Closing Seated Dinner seat, except for the 12 category winners.
