Third Industrial Revolution Consulting Group
The first part of the sentence “An internationally recognized platform for sustainable industrial
excellence” represents the goal the Luxembourg industry would like to achieve, while the
second part of the sentence “innovative solutions” are the means required to reach this goal. It
is important to stress here, that the vision is a unique statement only applicable in the context
of the Luxembourgish environment.

products and services which will be innovative, mindful of any environmental impact, thrifty
in its use of the Earth’s limited resources and enabling the transformation of the economy
