In the first half of 2023, artificial intelligence took over the startup world and while it’s only slowly taking shape in Luxembourg, increasingly startups are integrating the technology into their services. Silicon Luxembourg presents 5 AI startups that may have passed under your radar.
According to Earlybird data, Europe has just shy of 1200 startups active in the AI space. While the difference between being AI-based, AI-powered, AI-driven and others is unclear to most, Startup Luxembourg’s ecosystem mapping counts 93 startups in Luxembourg whose main sector is AI.
While many of these are already well-known to the public – the likes of EmailTree, TadaWeb and Zortify – others have kept a lower profile, either because they were only recently incorporated or because they are less. Below is a brief overview of five of them.
