Digital Inclusion Day 2025 Highlights AI, Citizen Skills & Awards

Luxembourg’s Ministry of Digitalisation reported that the fourth edition of the National Digital Inclusion Day took place on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 May 2025 at Luxexpo The Box in Luxembourg-Kirchberg.

This year’s programme was spread over two days: the first, on Friday, focused on stakeholders involved in digital inclusion, while the second, on Saturday, was open to the general public.

The event opened with a new edition of the Interdisciplinary Forum on Digital Inclusion. This forum regularly brings together representatives of associations and organisations working to advance digital inclusion. According to the Ministry of Digitalisation, the exchange of experiences is intended to help participants identify effective ways to ensure “all citizens are included in the digital age.”

This year’s forum featured two panel discussions followed by Q&A sessions. The first explored “the innovations and challenges that artificial intelligence brings to the field of education,” while the second focused on the competencies of a “digital citizen,” described as essential for achieving successful inclusion in today’s society.

The programme concluded with the presentation of the “2025 Digital Inclusion Award” by Luxembourg’s Minister for Digitalisation, Stéphanie Obertin. Established in 2022, the award recognises initiatives selected through the ministry’s annual call for digital inclusion projects, as noted by the Ministry of Digitalisation.

The 2025 award recipients were: Fondation APEMH for their project “Starter Pack”; Club Haus op der Heed for “Éisleker Koppen: Gesellschaftsspill”; Neon Internet & Visual Online for their joint project “KI Léierbud”; and Stëftung Hëllef Doheem & GoldenMe for their joint initiative “Digital Doheem.”

For the 2025–2026 cycle, the ministry allocated a total budget of €250,000 for the digital inclusion call for proposals. Videos highlighting the selected projects are available on the Ministry of Digitalisation’s YouTube channel.

On Saturday 17 May 2025, members of the public were invited to attend the fourth edition of the Digital Inclusion Fair, which has reportedly seen “growing success each year”.

According to the Ministry of Digitalisation, the event was designed particularly for individuals considered “digitally excluded”, offering them the opportunity to meet representatives of public and private organisations and ask questions about available digital services and tools.

Minister Obertin also attended the fair to engage with approximately 30 digital inclusion stakeholders and members of the public.
