LU-CIX was founded in 2009 based on a cross-industries initiative with the aim of enhancing the development of the Internet in Luxembourg.  

The LU-CIX model of openness and neutrality is based on the philosophy of already existing international centers.

As a "virtual crossing" between the major data highways, LU-CIX shortens the paths between Internet providers and content providers. The networks get redundant and web users can surf faster. This Internet exchange point will permit the various Internet service providers to exchange Internet traffic between their networks, and thus directly connect the content providers and Internet operators located in Luxembourg. Thanks to LU-CIX, companies generating IP traffic can carry their traffic to all Internet users around the world, thus reinforcing Luxembourg’s assets as a prime ICT hub.
