The conference "AI Act in Action", held on 20 January 2026 at the Chamber of Commerce, enabled participants to translate the requirements of the European AI Regulation (AI Act) into operational levers: navigating their technological choices, anticipating risks, demonstrating compliance and better understanding the impact of the AI Act on their activities.
Organised by the Media, Connectivity and Digital Policy Service of the Ministry of State, the Chamber of Commerce and the National Commission for Data Protection (CNPD), the conference brought together more than 300 participants, including companies ranging from SMEs to large enterprises, public sector representatives, legal practitioners and members of the innovation ecosystem.
The discussions, held in the presence of Elisabeth Margue, Minister Delegate for Media and Connectivity, and Dr. Lucilla Sioli, Director of the EU AI Office, facilitated the sharing of practical cases and operational tools, while clarifying responsibilities in the AI value chain and outlining the next steps of national AI governance in Luxembourg.
Demystifying the AI Act
Dr. Lucilla Sioli presented the key principles of the regulation, notably the risk-based approach, and introduced future compliance tools such as the AI Act Single Information Platform and the AI Act Service Desk.
AI Literacy
This session focused on the "AI literacy" obligation requiring all organisations, regardless of their size, to train and strengthen skills to ensure safe and compliant use of AI systems.
National Governance
The session brought together all regulators proposed in bill no. 8476 to discuss supervision mechanisms, the role of the "single point of contact" and the synergies needed to avoid fragmentation.
Support for Innovation
National innovation leaders highlighted initiatives including the collaborative Regulation Meets Innovation (ReMI) initiative, the CNPD’s regulatory sandbox, the AI Experience Center of LHoFT, and AI Factory projects.
“This conference confirmed that the implementation of the AI Act should not be perceived as a constraint, but as an opportunity.”
