New Analysis Ranks Luxembourg 32nd For Digital Competitiveness

On Wednesday 11 November 2026, Luxembourg’s Chamber of Commerce reported that the Grand Duchy has been ranked in 32nd place for digital competitiveness in 2026.

According to the chamber, the International Institute for Management Development (IMD) has revised its benchmarks ranking of digital competitiveness in 2026. Renamed The World Digital and AI Ranking, it now assesses economies not only on their ability to adopt and develop digital technologies, but also on their capacity to deploy artificial intelligence productively, responsibly and reliably.

This new edition, which covers 70 economies, is based on a revised methodology, comprising 88 indicators grouped into five main assessment factors. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), digital competitiveness is no longer based solely on technological capabilities, but also on the ability to harness AI to boost productivity among economic stakeholders and drive innovation.

It now seeks to address a key question: to what extent are countries and businesses prepared to use AI productively, regulate it responsibly and earn the trust of those affected by its deployment?

In the new ranking, Luxembourg places 32nd, behind neighbouring countries Germany (18th), France (21st) and Belgium (29th), with the top three positions occupied by the United States, Singapore and the Netherlands.

The Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce said this analysis highlights a persistent contrast: while the Grand Duchy continues to benefit from a favourable regulatory and institutional framework, it still struggles to translate this advantage into the practical adoption of digital technologies and artificial intelligence across its economy.

In its own assessment of the analysis, the chamber highlighted Luxembourg’s performance in the area of Governance, where it ranked 14th. However, this contrasted sharply with its rankings of 39th for Technology and Infrastructure, 36th for Efficiency, 37th for Human Capital Development and 34th for Values. The chamber said these results highlight a persistent gap between Luxembourg's capacity to establish a supportive environment for AI and its ability to deploy the technology effectively across its economy.

In terms of Technology and Infrastructure, Luxembourg was shown to benefit from strong digital connectivity, ranking 7th for internet users and 15th for the share of 5G subscriptions, but weaknesses remain in high-tech exports (58th), secure internet servers (53rd) and research infrastructure (46th).

On a positive note, the chamber noted that the country performs relatively well in attracting highly qualified international professionals (9th) and business agility (17th).
