In order to support Luxembourgish exporting companies in their international prospecting efforts, the Office du Ducroire (ODL) can grant financial support through a partial financial contribution to promotion and exhibition costs.

Luxembourgish companies, which represent a substantial added value for the Luxembourg economy, are eligible for financial assistance if they meet the following conditions:

• be a Luxembourg exporting company;
• be in possession of all the valid authorisations required to carry out their activities; and
• be financially sound.

The export aid scheme is governed by law and complies with European regulations on state aid for exports.

Financial support can be requested, for example, for:

• the design of promotional materials (brochures, videos, etc.);
• translation of promotional material;
• exhibition at fairs, exhibitions, seminars and conferences;
• traditional advertising costs;
• participation in international tenders for countries outside the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA); etc.

The financial aid granted may vary between 10 % and 50 % of the costs incurred for the project, without exceeding:

• the various ceilings set by the ODL's Committee for the Promotion of Luxembourg Exports (Comité pour la promotion des exportations luxembourgeoises - COPEL);
• the ceiling of EUR 200,000 over a 3-year period.
