Talent development is one of Luxembourg’s main focuses, which is why for the first time since its initiation, NeoSpace Europe introduces a brand-new concept entirely dedicated to talents.

This intensive two-day event offers a unique chance to work on use-cases currently faced within the sector while collaborating with peers from different backgrounds. It’s an opportunity to build valuable experience, connect with relevant companies, and put your academic knowledge into practice.
