Female entrepreneurship conference in Luxembourg - October 2025

 




Parfaite organisation ce matin, le 7 octobre 2025, de la conférence sur l'entrepreneuriat féminin à la Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce.
Bravo aux organisateurs et organisatrices pour cette belle réussite !
Une salle comble pour échanger sur ce thème majeur, où j’ai eu l’honneur de partager la scène avec des femmes remarquables telles que Marie-Christine Mariani, Safia Agueni, Monica JIMAN et Béatrice Robichaud.

Oser innover, pour moi, c’est avant tout avoir le courage de dépasser les barrières — financières, culturelles, mentales. Dans mon parcours, cela a souvent signifié prendre des risques très concrets.

> Lorsque j’ai voulu créer mon entreprise, j’ai dû d’abord m’établir en Angleterre avant d’ouvrir une filiale au Luxembourg, simplement parce qu’il m’était alors impossible de louer un bureau ou d’ouvrir un compte bancaire ici… Certain·es s’y reconnaîtront peut-être 😉
> En 2004, avec mon équipe de Languages.lu, nous avons été pionniers en lançant les premiers cours en ligne de luxembourgeois, un vrai pari sur un marché qui n’était pas prêt. Nous avons ensuite publié une dizaine de supports pédagogiques ludiques et innovants (https://lnkd.in/dQWDBG5), développé la première application mobile d’apprentissage du luxembourgeois...

> À l’époque, le marché n’était pas prêt. J'ai osé, j'ai investi. Le pari était risqué.
Mais au-delà du ROI assez réduit, ces projets ont eu un impact réel — social, culturel et éducatif.
Ils ont contribué à mieux faire connaître la langue luxembourgeoise.
C’était ma manière de contribuer à mon pays d’adoption.

Quand on parle d’entrepreneuriat féminin au Luxembourg, il faut être honnête : il reste beaucoup à faire. Et je remercie Madame la Ministre Yuriko Backes pour sa volonté de changer cette situation.
Le pays compte encore trop peu de femmes entrepreneures, et surtout, il manque de données scientifiques précises sur notre réalité.
C’est ce constat qui m’a poussée à entreprendre un doctorat à l’ University of Luxembourg, consacré aux stratégies que les femmes migrantes solo entrepreneures développent pour bâtir une carrière durable.

Mon expérience entrepreneuriale dans 3 pays m’a appris qu’oser ne suffit pas.
Il faut oser intelligemment : avec stratégie et, très important, en s'entourant bien.
C’est aussi pour cela que j’ai fondé l’Union des Indépendants Luxembourg, pour offrir aux entrepreneures et entrepreneurs un espace de conseil fiscal et légal et de soutien concret après le démarrage de leurs activités.

>>Mon conseil à toutes celles qui veulent se lancer :
Entourez-vous bien !
Adhérer, dès le départ, au seul syndicat pour les indépendants: l’Union des Indépendants Luxembourg et rejoignez la FFCEL Fédération des Femmes Cheffes d'Entreprise du Luxembourg.

Ne le faites pas « plus tard » : adhérer tôt, c’est avancer dix fois plus vite! (meme avant de développer votre activité)

Adieu and Rest in Peace, dear Guy de Muyser!

 


Today, I paid my respects and said goodbye to a remarkable person whom I admired deeply. For over 10 years, I was honored to call Guy de Muyser my friend. At 98, he leaves behind a legacy of profound impact on the lives of many, including mine. I am incredibly grateful for his unwavering support of my projects, such as the Inspiring Wo-Men of the Year awards and the Top Company for Gender Equality awards.

A beautiful ceremony took place today at St. Michel Church, attended by many loyal friends, including representatives of HRH the Grand Duc, HRH Prince Guillaume and Princess Sibilla. The atmosphere was filled with warmth and admiration as we gathered to celebrate Guy’s incredible life. Heartfelt speeches from his children, Alain and Isabelle, and shared memories echoed throughout the space, reminding us of the joy and wisdom he brought into our lives. It was a poignant tribute that perfectly encapsulated the impact he had on all of us.

Each meeting and lunch at his home or in his garden was a special moment I cherished. A few months ago, he called to catch up and invited me to visit him. I regret not following up in time—perhaps he wanted to say goodbye in person.

His memory will forever inspire me. Here are seven of my favorite photos with him, capturing our treasured moments together.

Thank you for your friendship, dear Guy.
May you rest in peace.

MegaTrends 2050

 

On Thursday and Friday I assisted at the “MegaTrends 2050” interdisciplinary conference organized by the Luxembourg Parliament (Chambre des Députés Grand-Duché de Luxembourg) and the Fonds National de la Recherche, Luxembourg (FNR).

Two intensive days aimed at bringing together politicians, researchers and the general public to  reflect together on the major global trends that are affecting everyone of us.

How to use scientific foresight in politics is certainly a topic that interests me very much. Not only as politician, but also as entrepreneur, and also as researcher, since I’m in my 3rd year of my PhD studies. 

CSV was well represented by colleagues MEP Isabel Wiseler, MP Paul Galles, Fernand Boden, president of CSV Senioren, Marcel Oberweis; we’ve had very interesting conversations with the speakers and some of the researchers who were present. 

It was lovely to meet and listen to Philip Crowther’s keynote address which highlighted the challenges of investigative journalism because of the growing possibilities of spreading fake news in all forms.

It was reassuring to find out that 75% of Luxembourg’s population trusts science 💡 

The last words of this 2-day conference were given to the Youth Parliament and it was nice to meet again Gills Mathieson, the very proud mother of Franklin, the Secretary General of the #youthparliament.

Politics - The essentials

 



Since I started the #letsdemystifypolitics campaign and even more since some of you found out that I'm running for office in Luxembourg-city, I got asked a lot of questions about politics, including what the different political parties from Luxembourg stand for. 

To help you navigate the complex world of politics, I started to put together some resources which should help you understand better Luxembourg's political scene. 

Since I am deputy Secretary General of the political party CSV, as well as president of CSV International, CSV's political organization dedicated since 2008 to the international community of Luxembourg, and to avoid any biases when presenting you the other parties, I will list here neutral resources. 




4. "Integration, inclusion and diversity" resolution - unanimously adopted by CSV International at the National Congress on 01/02/2023


6. How to vote? Video published in 2017 to explain how to vote - credit to the Integration commission of Dudelange 

Please let me know what questions you might have, and I'll add here resources for you and everyone who's interested to learn more about the Luxembourgish politics.
