SME Packages
SME Packages are a Luxembourg government programme. If you run a small or medium-sized business, the Ministry of the Economy can pay back 70% of the cost of a digital, cybersecurity or AI project. Here is how it works, in plain words.

You contact us, we agree on your project and quote together, and an adviser from the Chamber of Commerce files the aid application with you. Once the Ministry approves it, we carry out the project. You pay our final invoice in full, and the Ministry then pays you back 70% of the eligible costs.

Step by step
Tell us about your business and your project. We listen to what you need, check which package fits, and explain the whole process in plain words, with no commitment.
The programme includes a short pre-analysis with the House of Entrepreneurship, or eHandwierk for craft businesses, or the Luxembourg House of Cybersecurity for the Cybersecurity package. We help you book it and prepare for it, so you arrive knowing exactly what you want.
Together we define the scope of your project, and we prepare a clear quote between €3,000 and €25,000 excl. VAT, ready for your application.
Your adviser submits the aid application with you, using our quote. We stay available for any question. The Ministry of the Economy then reviews it and makes the decision.
Once the aid is decided, we design and build exactly what was agreed, keeping you involved at every stage.
A short evaluation meeting looks at how satisfied you are and what the project changed. The application is then closed.
You pay our final invoice, and the Ministry of the Economy pays you back 70% of the eligible costs.
