Open data portals across Europe: Luxembourg builds a trusted,
centralised data ecosystem
Luxembourg’s national open data portal, data.public.lu
[https://data.public.lu/en/], serves as a central hub for accessing
and reusing public sector data. Launched in 2016, the platform is a
key component of the country’s digital transformation strategy,
offering over 2 300 datasets from more than 200 contributors,
including government ministries, municipalities, research
institutions, and private organisations. 

The portal is designed to make data easily accessible and reusable,
supporting a wide range of sectors such as mobility, environment,
public finance, and culture. It provides structured metadata, APIs,
and tools for developers, researchers, and citizens to explore and
build upon. 

Open data is a cornerstone of Luxembourg’s commitment to
transparency, innovation, and citizen engagement. The portal remains
under the stewardship of the Open Data Division of the Information and
Press Service, ensuring continuity and alignment with Luxembourg’s
transparency and innovation goals. By making public data openly
available, the government empowers individuals and organisations to
create new services, conduct research, and make informed decisions.

Whether you're a developer looking to build data-driven applications,
a journalist seeking insights, or a citizen interested in how public
services operate, data.public.lu [https://data.public.lu/en/] invites
you to explore, reuse, and contribute to a growing ecosystem of open
knowledge. Join Luxembourg in shaping a more transparent and
innovative digital future.
