LUXEMBURG - Das Pixel-Gebäude, Sitz von Vodafone auf dem Kirchberg, wird Zuwachs bekommen: Firmen, die keine Start-Ups mehr sind, siedeln sich dort an. Es war ganz schön viel los bei der Vorstellung des Innovationszentrum Tomorrow Street am Dienstag. Premierminister Xavier Bettel und der stellvertretende Premierminister Etienne Scheider waren zur Eröffnung mit von der Partie. Mit Tomorrow Street wollen Vodafone und der Luxemburgische Staat den Technoport-Unternehmen eine Chance geben, die nicht mehr jung genug sind um als Start-Ups zu gelten, aber auch noch nicht reif genug sind, um sich auf internationaler Ebene durchzusetzen. Dies alles passiert in einem High-Tech Umfeld. Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: http://www.scoop.it/t/luxembourg-europe/?&tag=StartUps

Eines der luxemburgischen Unternehmen, die im März auf der CeBit in Hannover ausstellten, war Velocity. Eine Cloud-Plattform, die es ermöglicht, tiefe Lernalgorithmen zu verwalten, hat das Startup zudem einen einheitlichen Algorithmus entwickelt, der es Unternehmen erlaubt, mit wenigen Klicks ihre Daten zu analysieren und zu nutzen. Momentan ist Velocity in Europa und Südostasien aktiv, möchte aber bald auch auf dem US-Markt Fuß fassen, wie der Softwareentwickler Ivan Jacobs, der das Startup 2016 gründete, dem „Journal“ erklärt.

Eine Million Euro lässt sich das luxemburgische Wirtschaftsministerium die Ankurbelung des Tourismus im Luxemburger Osten kosten. Zunächst. Das ist die Anschubfinanzierung, um das Start-up "Regiotels" auf die Beine zu stellen.
Die dort versammelten Tourismusprofis sollen das machen, was sich viele kleinere und mittlere Betriebe gar nicht oder nur schlecht leisten können: Marketing für die Hotels, Verkauf der zur Verfügung stehenden Betten und eine maximale Auslastung mit neuen Kunden erreichen.
Preisdumping sorgt für Nachfrage
Im Moment laufen die Buchungen über Portale wie booking.com oder expedia.com mit dem Ergebnis, dass in saison-schwachen Zeiten Preisdumping den Ausschlag für die Buchung gibt.
"Mit diesen Zimmerpreisen kommen wir nicht mehr auf unsere Kosten", sagt Robert Hein, Direktor des Hotels Bel-Air in Echternach. Das soll sich zukünftig über eine vorher mit "Regiotel" ausgemachte Marge für Maximum-Preis und Minimum-Preis ändern.

A Luxembourg-based trust services provider is teaming up with the Blockchain identity startup Cambridge Blockchain to launch a dedicated platform for the European Union.
LuxTrust, which provides digital identity solutions to businesses and government, will develop an entirely separate platform using the Blockchain.
“Working with Cambridge Blockchain allows us to augment the scope of provided identities, including attributes for new sectors and businesses and will enable users to share personal data fully respecting the increasingly stringent European regulatory framework,” CEO Pascal Rogiest said in a press release issued Monday.
Cambridge’s input will see so-called “proof by design” concepts employed to provide various client-oriented services including consent management and compliance.
Coming from the EU heartland, supporters say the platform is even due to “transform” the identity industry.

Paying for fuel at a petrol station in Luxembourg could be possible from a mobile app before the end of this year.
New technology, created by a team of four people behind Luxembourg start-up CarPay-Diem, means drivers will no longer have to carry a credit card or wait to complete a transaction at certain petrol stations.
The app, which is set to launch in September with a pilot programme, will automatically switch on a mobile phone as it enters a partnered petrol station through geolocation technology.
"When a user arrives at a station the phone automatically switches on," Chief Executive Officer of CarPay-Diem, Frédéric Stiernon, explained. "The app asks the driver to select the number of the pump and the app then signals when the pump is ready to be used.
"The driver fills up and immediately receives a receipt via the app. It will show the amount of fuel and the price." Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: http://www.scoop.it/t/luxembourg-europe/?&tag=StartUps http://www.scoop.it/t/luxembourg-europe/?tag=Digital+L%C3%ABtzebuerg
