On Thursday 19 June 2025, Blue Origin officially announced the establishment of its European office in Luxembourg, following a meeting between Luxembourg's Minister of the Economy, SMEs, Energy and Tourism, Lex Delles, Blue Origin CEO David Limp and the Vice President of Global Supply Chain at Blue Origin, Tim Collins.

As reported by the Ministry of the Economy, the company has chosen Luxembourg as a base from which to manage the operation of its European supply chain and support of continued growth. This new office is expected to strengthen its presence in Europe and play a key role in the development of commercial space services, including lunar transport, space mobility and harnessing in-space resources. This collaboration is part of the SpaceResources.lu initiative, which promotes the peaceful exploration and sustainable use of space resources for the benefit of humanity.

Founded in 2000 by Jeff Bezos, Blue Origin is an American aerospace company specialising in the development of reusable launch vehicles and advanced rocket engines, with the ambition of building the infrastructure necessary for future human activities in space. The ministry added that the company is pursuing several ambitious programmes aimed at reducing the cost of access to space and is also developing its own space resources programme. Among its flagship projects are New Glenn, a reusable heavy-lift launch vehicle, and Blue Moon, a lunar lander selected by NASA as part of the Artemis programme.

Minister Delles said: "The arrival of Blue Origin in Luxembourg marks a major milestone for our space ecosystem. This choice confirms the attractiveness of our regulatory framework and our vision for innovation and sustainable space exploration. We are proud to welcome a leading global player and look forward to building the future of the European space economy together."

David Limp commented: "We're looking forward to opening our office in Luxembourg and engaging more deeply with suppliers across Europe. We chose the country for its strong investment in space, the government's support for our growth and long-term vision, and its central location."
