On Monday 9 November 2026, Luxembourg's Ministry of Labour announced the launch of a new national strategy for the social and solidarity economy (SSE) and social innovation during the first SSE and Social Innovation Forum, held at Cercle Cité in Luxembourg-Ville.
Presented by Luxembourg’s Minister of Labour, Marc Spautz, the strategy aims to strengthen Luxembourg's SSE ecosystem and promote social innovation. The event also marked the launch of the Luxembourg for Social Innovation (L4SI) platform and the final of the 2026 Social Innovation Prize.
The strategy was developed in consultation with stakeholders in the SSE and social innovation. It focuses on five objectives: promoting recognition and visibility; creating a favourable legal environment; strengthening dialogue between stakeholders; encouraging partnerships; and developing skills within the sector, noted the ministry.
"Nearly ten years after the entry into force of the law on societal impact companies (SIS), this new strategy marks an important step towards sustainably strengthening the social and solidarity economy and social innovation in Luxembourg. I am particularly proud that it is the result of a participatory process and a shared vision, developed with stakeholders and for stakeholders," said Minister Spautz.
The newly launched L4SI platform will serve as a central point for SSE and social innovation stakeholders, facilitating networking, information sharing and the development of initiatives with a social and environmental impact. The platform will also support collaboration with the Social Business Incubator (SBI).
During the forum, Minister Spautz presented the 2026 Social Innovation Prize to Dalza SARL SIS, a digital platform that facilitates communication and coordination between parents, teachers and professionals supporting neurodivergent children.
According to the ministry, these initiatives reflect its commitment to developing a dynamic, inclusive and innovative social and solidarity economy in Luxembourg.
