In order to assist Luxembourgish exporting companies in their international activities, the Office du Ducroire (ODL) offers various insurance solutions to cover Luxembourg companies against the risks of non-payment by customers and their investments abroad, as well as 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 and translation of promotional materials (brochures, videos, etc.);
• exhibition at fairs, exhibitions, seminars and conferences;
• expenses for traditional and digital advertising;
• market surveys and consultancy services;
• international trademark/patent registration and certification;
• the opening of prospecting entities or participation in international tenders in non-EU and non-EEA countries.

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 300,000 over a 3-year period.
