The Luxembourg–Poland Chamber of Commerce (LPCC) is proud to support the Women’s Startup Pitch Evening, organised by the British Ladies’ Club of Luxembourg, taking place on Thursday, 4 June 2026 in Luxembourg.

This event brings together aspiring and early-stage women entrepreneurs for an evening of live startup pitches, expert insights, and meaningful networking within Luxembourg’s business community. Following a strong pool of applications, four finalists will present their ventures to an expert jury, with winners announced during the closing awards ceremony.

Why LPCC Supports Women Entrepreneurs in Luxembourg

At LPCC, we actively support entrepreneurship, international collaboration, and women in business in Luxembourg.

Our involvement in the Women’s Startup Pitch Evening reflects a long-term commitment to helping founders move:

• from idea → execution
• from local ambition → scalable business
• from concept → investment readiness

This is not symbolic support. It is ecosystem-building.

Second Prize – LPCC Award (Entrepreneurial Woman Project)

LPCC is sponsoring the second prize, which includes complimentary participation in the Entrepreneurial Woman Project (EWP) — our flagship programme for women entrepreneurs in Luxembourg.

The programme supports women in launching and growing businesses through:

• Practical workshops on business creation and scaling
• Mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs and experts
• Access to an international entrepreneurial network
• Final pitching opportunity with cash prizes

This award is designed as a real business acceleration step, not just recognition.

  Registration is NOW OPEN.

The Luxembourg-Poland Chamber of Commerce (LPCC) is pleased to invite its members to an exclusive networking evening bringing together CEOs and founders of innovative companies arriving in Luxembourg for Nexus 2026, alongside Luxembourg’s tech enthusiasts and business leaders — all in the select setting of Tero House 17 Business Club.

Organised jointly by several accredited chambers of commerce in Luxembourg and coordinated by the Romania-Luxembourg Business Forum (RomLux), this well-established pre-Nexus gathering has become a key meeting point for the international entrepreneurial community in Luxembourg.

About the event

At the heart of the evening is a dynamic pitching session, where founders and company representatives from abroad take the stage to briefly present who they are, what they do, and why they are attending Nexus Luxembourg. This creates a unique opportunity to engage directly with innovative companies, potential partners, and decision-makers.

The evening continues with a networking cocktail in a relaxed and elegant setting, designed to encourage meaningful conversations and new connections across Luxembourg’s international business ecosystem.

Why attend

Whether you are looking to:

• expand your professional network
• explore international partnerships
• discover innovative companies
• reconnect with Luxembourg’s business community ahead of Nexus

this event offers a focused and high-quality networking environment.
