3. Who We are
Tudor is a research centre focused on company innovation. Our aim is to make a
significant contribution towards innovation, through a scientific approach, in order
to increase the Luxemburgish economic competitiveness. The transport and logistics
sector has been identified by the government as a strategic pillar of economic
development for the country. To aid this development, we respond to company needs
and provide tailored solutions adapted to both their size and budget, whether public
or private, large groups or SMEs. The multi-disciplinary competences of the Centre
enable us to develop and test new innovative concepts and methods. Moreover,
these solutions are impartial as we have no links with commercial solutions.
Our services include:
• Applied, experimenta
and contractual researc
• Innovation products
• Scientific support for
our product
After having acquired both expertise and recognition, we are now fully enabled to
participate in large pan-European projects, such as training courses responding to
the needs of the sector. The ultimate objective is to reinvest subsequent results back
into Luxembourg businesses.

range of products and service
Active in several international research networks and our capacity as a founding
member of the Cluster for Logistics, we fully support and contribute to key issues
within the sector at a national level.
