Luxembourg Minerals and Mining Tenders

Luxembourg's mineral industry is small but plays a vital role in its economy. It primarily focuses on steel production, utilizing iron ore imported from neighboring countries. The industry contributed a minor 0.2% to Luxembourg's GDP in 2019.

The Luxembourg government actively supports the minerals and mining industry through various procurement initiatives. In 2022, the total value of government contracts for minerals and mining products and services reached €200 million.
