The Luxembourg Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (LPEA) signed last week the Diversity Charter promoted by IMS Luxembourg. This signature represents a natural step in LPEA’s broader ESG commitment and reflects the association’s continued engagement in promoting sustainable and responsible practices across the private equity and venture capital industry.

Luxembourg has firmly established itself as a leading hub for alternative investments, private equity, and venture capital, attracting top-tier professionals from across Europe and beyond. Its political and regulatory stability, combined with a diverse financial ecosystem, creates a strong foundation for career development and operational growth. Additionally, initiatives that support relocation, family integration, and competitive incentives make Luxembourg an increasingly attractive destination for skilled international talent. In this interview, we explore the factors that drive Luxembourg’s appeal for professionals and investors, and how the ecosystem supports long-term career growth.

Catalpa Ventures is the first Luxembourg‑based Venture Capital firm dedicated to investing in early‑stage HealthTech startups in Europe. Founded by a team of professionals with backgrounds in medicine, venture capital, and entrepreneurship, the firm recently celebrated its first closing with over €10 million and is on track to reach its total fund target of €30 million by 2027. Catalpa is driven by a mission to improve the health of 100 million people by addressing key challenges facing healthcare systems: an ageing society, a shortage of skilled labor, and rapidly rising costs.

For most of its history, the Private Equity secondary market was viewed as a niche, reactive segment of the broader alternatives ecosystem. It existed primarily to solve problems: distressed sellers, regulatory constraints, or forced portfolio rebalancing. Two decades later, that perception is obsolete. Today, the secondary market for LP interests has become a structural component of private markets, providing liquidity, price discovery, and portfolio management flexibility at scale.
