The BCC have also announced the launch of its “Emerging Leaders Mentorship Programme Pilot”, a new initiative launched by the British Chamber of Commerce for Luxembourg to foster meaningful, goal-oriented mentor–mentee relationships within our community. This pilot programme is exclusively open to BCC members.

The programme is designed to support young professionals and experienced leaders alike by creating a structured framework for knowledge sharing, professional development and leadership growth in Luxembourg’s dynamic business environment. It aims to empower participants through personalised guidance, actionable insights, and exposure to diverse perspectives. 

The BCC said mentees will benefit from strategic support to accelerate their careers or navigate transitions, while mentors will have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, share expertise, and contribute to the development of future business leaders.

Applications for the programme are limited. A small number of participants will be selected, with mentor–mentee matches based on compatibility and alignment. Applicants who are not selected for this pilot will be considered for the next cohort in September 2026.
