Dear Passengers Welcome aboard!

Bienvenue à bord !

À

nce again, we start to feel the usual cool, invigorating breeze blow on our faces that marks the end of the summer break, bringing with it a spirit for renewal. This year, we have made the most of the rising winds to update the contents of Flydoscope. The “City Guides” section has become “Travelblog.” It is still full of great ideas for your next trips and is based on the digital version of the Luxair Travelblog (travelblog.eu).

Luxembourgish and regional news still has pride of place in your magazine, from now on they will be presented as topical features on aviation, culture, society and business. In this edition’s aviation section, you will get a glimpse at what goes on within the Cargocenter, which is already celebrating its 20th year of service in 2016. Hard to believe, isn’t it!

Nevertheless, the Group’s news still remains at the heart of your Flydoscope.

You will be able to see for yourselves that the Flydoscope spirit has not changed. It is there to inform you and entice you, as well as being your in-flight companion and our first information relay.

I hope you have an enjoyable read and a pleasant flight!

chaque rentrée, un vent frais souffle sur nos visages et véhicule, par sa vigueur, un esprit de renouveau.

Cette année, nous avons profité de ces (vents) ascendants pour rafraîchir les pages de votre Flydoscope. La rubrique « City Guides » se mue ainsi en « Travelblog ». Mine de bons plans pour vos prochains séjours, elle se base dorénavant dans sa structure sur le modèle digital du Travelblog by Luxair (travelblog.eu).

Si les sujets d’actualité luxembourgeoise et régionale ont toujours une bonne place dans votre magazine, ils se déclineront désormais en thématiques aviation, culture, société, business. Et dans ce numéro, le sujet aviation par exemple vous amènera derrière les murs du Cargocenter, qui fête en cette année 2016 son 20e anniversaire… Déjà !

Les dernières évolutions de notre groupe restent néanmoins au cœur de votre Flydoscope.

Vous le constaterez : l’esprit de Flydoscope reste inchangé. Il est entre vos mains pour vous informer et vous séduire. Il demeure votre compagnon de vol et notre premier relais.

Je vous souhaite une bonne lecture et un agréable vol !

End-to-end services for corporates and funds Flexible, scalable corporate structures are needed to help international businesses and alternative investment funds cope with the fast-changing geopolitical, regulatory and fiscal environ4

ment. Uniquely comprehensive integrated solutions are provided

by Capita Asset Services Luxembourg. Bo Matthiesen, managing director, and Livio Gambardella, client director, explain.

What is unique about Capita Asset Services? b o m a t t h i e s e n Our broad and deep experience enables us to go into partnership with our clients to meet a uniquely wide range of their needs. Capita is a major listed business process management and professional services group, and this gives us the ability to bring new support propositions to life in a seamless fashion.

Our services are custom-made, scalable and can adapt to changing circumstances. Clients need more than a set of fixed services provided “off-the-peg”.

What challenges are your clients facing? l i v i o g a m b a r d e l l a To manage their business in Luxembourg, corporates and alternative investment funds operating across borders need a trustable local partner with a deep industry experience, and strong technical support to ensure effective implementation of tax and legal advice, proficient business management as well as full compliance with regulatory requirements, market practices and investment strategies. These

requirements become even more important nowadays considering the challenges clients are facing from changing regulatory requirements and the uncertainty coming from international political initiatives such as BEPS and Brexit. That’s why, especially in the current international context, the political and social stability of Luxembourg with its modern and business friendly frameworks becomes very important.

What gives you this range of experience? b m Our parent company is Capita plc, a publicly listed UK firm. We operate 11 divisions, with more than 75,000 staff generating revenue of GBP 4.7bn (€5.6bn) last year. The group provides a vast range of services to large corporations and public authorities such as property management and debt collection, translation and travel services as well as digital and software solutions to name a few. Capita Asset Services is one of these divisions, with offices in Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Ireland, the UK, Jersey, Switzerland, Hungary and Germany, as

a d v e r t o r i a l

well as rep offices in the US and Dubai. Together, this gives unrivalled knowledge and reach.

How is the market changing? l g Our main growth areas are real estate and private equity, including hedge funds and securitisation structures. We support investors and asset managers through the full life cycle from the set-up of their Luxembourg investment vehicle to its liquidation. Depending on the client needs, we support with company incorporation and management, accounting and company secretarial assistance which can include income tax and VAT compliance as well as assistance with corporate governance. In addition, we can assist with the provision of registered office, dedicated and equipped office space and employment solutions. Also the geographical allocation of clients is changing, historically clients mainly come from Europe and North America, but now increasingly from Asia and the Middle East.

How deep is your experience of Luxembourg and beyond? b m Our presence here goes back to 1993. Capita Asset Services Luxembourg was established in 2009 from the takeover of two complementary financial and business services operations with later additional acquisitions. We now have 150 multilingual staff with a wealth of accounting, and administration experience. We recently moved into new offices in Luxembourg City, giving us a central location and space to meet our growth ambitions.

The management team all have more than 15-year experience from different jurisdictions and different parts of the financial sector, be it corporate services, banking, investment funds, audit, exchange listing or legal.

Why do your clients use Luxembourg? b m International expertise, adaptability as well as regulato-

ry and political stability make Luxembourg unique. The tax environment is competitive while staying compliant with OECD guidance. However, the attraction of the Grand Duchy is the broad ecosystem of experienced, multilingual tax advisors, law firms and service providers, working within a rigorous but fair and flexible legal and regulatory environment.

There is political stability, with broad consensus that the tax and law codes should change as little as possible. Governments listen to businesses and act to assist growth. Luxembourg is a founding member of the European Union and one of the few countries with AAA rating and very strong macroeconomic fundamentals. l g Also nowhere is the workforce as multicultural and multilingual. Plus the country is centrally located and easy to reach from Europe’s business capitals. The result is solutions provided with particular sensitivity to subtle cultural differences. Luxembourg’s reputation as a world-class centre for alternative investment fund administration is booming, and we are playing our part. For investments in real estate and private equity we provide the structures and processes to acquire, hold, manage and divest a range of assets. We serve alternative investment funds, asset financing companies, M&A companies, oil and gas companies and securitisation vehicles. An example of our value-added approach is how we help fund managers to invest in debt. The group has special services that analyses debt portfolios or manage property assets.

How do you keep pace with market change? l g We continuously keep our staff up to date with regulatory and market practice developments, and invest in training locally to ensure our clients receive the best support from knowledgeable, motivated and responsive teams. We work clo-

f ly d o s c o p e

“Our clients have a great opportunity to focus on and prosper from their core business – as partners we can provide corporate services in Luxembourg, but also facilitate the uniquely wide offering across the group.”

sely with a wide range of local legal and tax advisors with a broad and international expertise to make the Luxembourg business framework very proficient and attractive for investors and asset managers.

How would you sum up your offering? b m Partnership. We don’t just work closely with clients, but also with their lawyers, tax specialists and others. We want to play a pivotal role in the organisation and administration of the client’s business in Luxembourg and support beyond. We are there to deal with the practical details of bringing the clients strategy to fruition.

Rentrée culturelle Après avoir passé l’été à entretenir les machineries, vérifier le fonctionnement des sons et lumières, nettoyer les salles, peaufiner la communication… les institutions culturelles sont parées pour la rentrée. À la Philharmonie comme au Grand Théâtre, ainsi que dans les centres culturels, salles de concert et les théâtres, la programmation reprend autour de la mi-septembre. À vos agendas !

Having spent the summer maintaining their equipment, checking that their sound and lighting facilities are in good working order, cleaning their auditoriums and refining their communications initiatives, the various cultural institutions across the city are ready for the start of the new academic year. From the Philharmonie to the Grand Théâtre, across cultural centres, concert halls and theatres, programmes of events are set to resume around mid-September.

E

n tant que directeur du département de la photographie du Museum of Modern Art (Moma) à New York, e d w a r d s t e i c h e n a conçu de nombreuses expositions.

La dernière, The Bitter Years, a été réalisée en 1962 et rassemble plus de 200 images issues de la documentation produite entre 1935 et 1944 par la FSA (Farm Security Administration) sur l’Amérique rurale lors de la Grande Dépression. Roy Stryker, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange ou Arthur Rothstein ont sillonné leur pays pour constituer un recueil bouleversant de l’Amérique en crise.

Le château d’eau de Dudelange, construit en 1928 et reconverti en espace d’exposition pour le Centre national de l’audiovisuel, accueille une sélection de la collection The Bitter Years. Les tirages originaux restaurés et fragiles sont exposés en alternance suivant l’accrochage thématique et le concept historique développé par Edward Steichen pour le Moma. Le nouvel accrochage est l’occasion de visiter ce lieu spectaculaire.

A

s head of the photography department at New York’s Museum of Modern Art (Moma), e d w a r d s t e i c h e n has certainly designed his fair share of exhibitions. The last one, The Bitter Years, was produced in 1962 and featured over 200 images taken from the documentation produced between 1935 and 1944 by the FSA (Farm Security Administration), depicting rural America during the Great Depression. Roy Stryker, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange and Arthur Rothstein travelled the length and breadth of the country compiling a deeply moving account of America in crisis.

The château d’eau (water tower) in Dudelange, which was built in 1928 and has since been converted into an exhibition space for the National Audiovisual Centre, houses a selection of pieces from The Bitter Years collection. A number of fragile and restored original prints are exhibited in turn, in accordance with the themed-based display and historical concept developed by Edward Steichen for the Moma. The new display is the perfect opportunity to visit this spectacular venue.

M

ike Bourscheid was chosen by a panel from among 24 candidates to fly the flag for Luxembourg at the next v e n i c e b i e n n i a l , in May 2017. A performing artist, sculptor and photographer who spends his time between Luxembourg and Vancouver, he has developed a hybrid practice that is inspired by both autobiographical aspects and social analysis. Humour, irony and self-mockery are among the key elements on which his approach is based and are used to highlight social and political issues.

His multimedia productions are based on personal experiences and reflection upon themes relating to the criticism of society.

Bourscheid uses humour and irony to address, and indeed to challenge, a number of deep and complex themes and uses the art of performance and cross-dressing to raise questions regarding gender, the oppression of minorities, family and religion.

C

est parmi 24 candidats que Mike Bourscheid a été choisi par un jury pour occuper le pavillon luxembourgeois à la prochaine b i e n n a l e d e v e n i s e , en mai 2017. Artiste performeur, sculpteur et photographe vivant entre Luxembourg et Vancouver, il développe une p ­ ratique hybride, inspirée par des éléments autobiographiques et par une analyse sociale.

L’humour, l’ironie et l’autodérision sont des aspects fondamentaux de sa démarche et pointent des enjeux sociaux et politiques. À l’origine de ses productions multimédias sont des expériences personnelles et des réflexions sur des thèmes axés sur la critique de la société. En recourant à l’humour et à l’ironie, Bourscheid parvient à aborder des thèmes profonds et complexes, à les questionner. Il utilise l’art de la performance et du travestissement pour poser des questions sur le genre, l’oppression des minorités, la famille ou la religion.

This can be done by placing your phone inside a humble sandwich bag, and poking a hole through for your headphones to be connected.

Placez votre téléphone dans un simple sac en plastique transparent, et percez un trou pour raccorder vos écouteurs.

Ça tourne à l’est

Le CinEast est le rendez-vous des films d’Europe centrale et orientale.

CinEast is a key event in the calendar for anyone with a taste for Central and Eastern European films.

The CinEast festival has been striving to offer Luxembourgers the best in cinematic production from Central and Eastern European countries since 2008, and this 9th edition of the event will consist of around a hundred screenings and a variety of associated events.

The festival focuses on recent productions, many of which will be previewed at the event, as well as classics, and this year’s chosen theme will be “Far from home”, featuring a large number of films relating to the plights of refugees, expatriates and migrants and the issue of integration.

If you don't have a clear bag to hand, sunglasses can also ingeniously be used as a makeshift phone stand.

Si vous n’avez pas de sac transparent sous la main, vous pouvez utiliser de manière ingénieuse vos lunettes de soleil : retournez-les et voilà un support de téléphone !

Bon film !

Depuis 2008, le festival CinEast s’efforce d’offrir au public luxembourgeois le meilleur de la production cinématographique des pays d’Europe centrale et orientale. Cette 9e édition proposera une centaine de projections ainsi que de nombreux événements parallèles.

Le festival se concentre sur les productions récentes, souvent primées, ainsi que des classiques.

Cette année, le thème choisi est « Loin de chez soi », avec un grand nombre de films autour du sujet des réfugiés, d’expatriés, de migrants et d’intégration.

Then, using the fold-up tray table on the seat in front, tuck in the top of the bag, and secure in place.

Pour Lionel Loueke, « le son de sa guitare est pur et rafraîchissant.

Je suis certain que nous entendrons de plus en plus parler de lui. » Depuis deux ans, le guitariste luxembourgeois Greg Lamy se produit entre autres avec l’auteur-compositeur et chanteur italien Marco Massa, avec lequel il s’est déjà produit (en quartet comme en duo) dans de nombreuses salles de concert en Italie ainsi qu’au Luxembourg.

“Greg Lamy is a guitar player whose refreshing and pure guitar sound gives birth to multiple melodic climates, underlined by a most fluid style, a musician with a promising future,” says Lionel Loueke.

For two years he has been performing together with the Italian singer-songwriter Marco Massa, among other projects (both with his quartet and in duo), with whom he performed in different venues in Italy and in Luxembourg.

Agir avec responsabilité 26

LuxairGroup soutient les actions d’ECPAT Luxembourg depuis 2009.

Avec la signature du Code, le groupe s’engage encore plus activement dans la protection des enfants.

LuxairGroup has supported ECPAT Luxembourg’s actions since 2009.

By signing the Code, the group commits to an even more active involvement in child protection.

ECPAT Luxembourg aide à protéger les enfants à travers le monde.

ECPAT Luxembourg helps to pro­tect children throughout the world.

M

embers of the ECPAT network strive internationally to eliminate the sexual exploitation of children.

In 1996, the network created the Code in collaboration with the World Tourism Organisation (WTO), to bring together stakeholders of responsible, sustainable tourism and provide them with a practical tool to prevent and combat child sex tourism. LuxairGroup signed the Code of conduct this summer.

“We’ve had a very active partnership with LuxairGroup since 2009,” explains Thomas Kauffmann, executive director of ECPAT Luxembourg. “The fact that the group has decided to sign the Code is a step forward, which shows its further commitment to protecting children and to fulfilling its responsability towards them.”

As every member of the Code, LuxairGroup will comply with and implement six criteria, for example establi­shing a policy and procedures against the sexual exploi­tation of children and training employees in children’s rights, prevention and how to report suspected cases. Travellers will also be given information on these issues.

es membres du réseau ECPAT travaillent à travers le monde pour mettre fin à l’exploitation sexuelle des enfants. En 1996, le réseau a créé le Code en collaboration avec l’Organisation mondiale du tourisme (OMT) et d’autres organisations afin de réunir les acteurs du tourisme responsable et de leur fournir un outil concret pour prévenir et lutter contre le tourisme sexuel impliquant des enfants. LuxairGroup a signé ce Code de conduite cet été. « Nous avions déjà un partenariat très actif avec LuxairGroup depuis 2009, explique Thomas Kauffmann, directeur exécutif d’ECPAT Luxembourg. La signature du Code est un pas de plus, qui montre la volonté du groupe à vouloir s’engager davantage et être responsable envers les enfants. » Comme chaque membre du Code, LuxairGroup va respecter et instaurer six critères, tels que la mise en place de politiques et procédures claires contre l’exploitation sexuelle des enfants et la formation de son personnel aux droits des enfants, à la prévention et au signalement des cas suspects. Ces informations seront également fournies à ses voyageurs.

Le rendez-vous annuel que constitue désormais Luxembourg Art Week permet de rassembler les acteurs de ce marché local, d’intégrer les nouveaux venus et de faire découvrir la richesse du marché de l’art contemporain au Luxembourg, sans jamais perdre de vue la dimension internationale, notamment par la présence de galeries internationales, émergentes et établies.

tion des galeries à ce qu’il y ait des galeries qui montrent de l’art pop, de l’art plus ancien, ou des œuvres très actuelles. Je suis aussi vigilant à ce que la fourchette de prix reste large et qu’on puisse aussi bien trouver des œuvres à 2 000 euros qu’à 200 000 euros », précise Alex Reding.

En parallèle des stands des galeries, la collaboration avec le Cercle artistique luxembourgeois (CAL) se poursuit. Comme lors de la première édition, il est possible de découvrir et d’acquérir des œuvres des artistes du CAL, puisque l’exposition annuelle de cette association créée en 1893, Le Salon, se tiendra également dans la Halle Victor Hugo aux mêmes

suivre l’expérience, et même de l’augmenter.

Il faut dire que Luxembourg présente une situation singulière en ce qui concerne l’art contemporain : « Luxembourg est la seule ville à 150 km aux alentours à avoir un marché de l’art qui fonctionne, explique Alex Reding. Cela mérite d’être souligné au niveau de la Grande Région, mais aussi au niveau international. D’autre part, nous avons la chance d’être un territoire qui accueille de nombreux sièges de grandes entreprises, ainsi que quelques fortunes. Luxembourg compte sur son territoire de nombreux amateurs d’art et collectionneurs. Nous devions donc réaliser un événement à la hauteur de nos ambitions, qui sont à la fois nationales et internationales. » Par ailleurs, Luxembourg est un pays fortement international et accueille de nombreux résidents venus de l’étranger. Ceci se ressent également sur le marché de l’art, puisque plusieurs galeristes étrangers se sont récemment installés à Luxembourg : Bernard Ceysson (Galerie Bernard Ceysson), Nordine Zidoun et Audrey Bossuyt (Zidoun-Bossuyt Gallery), Michael Krome (Krome Gallery), Renaud Bergonzo (Wild Project Gallery), Hervé Lancelin (Galerie Hervé Lancelin), etc. Toutes

Club des amis de Luxembourg Art Week Ce club est une plateforme de mise en relation avec des prestataires de services sélectionnés couvrant les besoins des entreprises dans la gestion de leur collection.

Les membres du Club peuvent ainsi bénéficier de conseils et d’achat auprès de galeristes, mais ont aussi accès à des experts de différents secteurs, qui travaillent de manière indépendante, professionnelle et qualitative. Ces services sont en particulier destinés aux entreprises de la Place qui ont en leur possession des œuvres d’art ou à celles qui souhaitent commencer une collection.

UNE NOUVELLE PLATEFORME D’autre part, et grâce au support du ministère de la Culture, une nouveauté a pu voir le jour pour cette édition : la plateforme baptisée « Take Off » présente sur le parvis de la Halle Victor Hugo, sous tente, des œuvres plus acces-

sibles financièrement parlant. Ainsi, même les jeunes collectionneurs ou les petits budgets ont leur place lors de Luxembourg Art Week. « Les œuvres présentées dans Take Off ne doivent être vendues au-dessus de 3 000 euros, détaille Alex Reding. Cette plateforme permet également à une vingtaine de jeunes galeries d’avoir un espace de présentation sans avoir à payer un stand traditionnel, ce qui est onéreux pour une petite structure. C’est donc une accessibilité à double sens, à la fois pour les clients qui peuvent acquérir de l’art de qualité à prix raisonnable et pour les galeries qui peuvent présenter leurs artistes à moindres frais. » On pourra ainsi y découvrir une pépinière de talents représentés par des galeries, collectifs et espaces de projets issus des scènes locale et régionale.

UN ÉVÉNEMENT CONVIVIAL Mais Luxembourg Art Week est avant tout conçu comme un événement convivial. Sur le site de la Halle Victor Hugo, on trouvera aussi des commodités comme un bar à champagne ou un food truck. « Les visiteurs peuvent venir découvrir l’art contemporain dans une ambiance décontractée et festive, faire des rencontres, passer un moment agréable. Comme Luxembourg Art Week reste à une échelle raisonnable, il est possible d’apprécier l’ensemble du programme sans s’épuiser. Cette dimension conviviale est très importante à mes yeux, car les collection-

T

he idea of ​​a contemporary art fair i n Luxembourg had been in gestation for years but finally came to life last year.

This project was able to launch thanks

to a passionate instigator who is profes­sionally involved in all things artistic, Alex Reding, the

director and owner of the Nosbaum Reding Gallery in Luxembourg. Happy and satisfied with the success of the first edition and its 7,000 visitors, he has decided not only to continue with this experiment but indeed to make it bigger this time around.

neurs parcourent déjà les mega events mondiaux tels que Miami, Bâle, Paris, Londres, New York, qui sont très intenses. Nous proposons un autre type d’événement, à notre échelle, sans pour autant diminuer la qualité », assure le galeriste.

C’est ainsi qu’en complément des exposi­t ions sur les stands, des événements ponctuels sont organisés. Un programme de con­­férences est réalisé en partenariat avec la radio socioculturelle 100,7. Des sujets tels que les collections d’entreprise (le 10 novembre à 17 h 30), les collections muséales en temps de restrictions budgétaires (le 11 novembre à 17 h 30) ou le statut de l’art luxembourgeois (le 12 novembre à 17 h 30) seront abordés à l’occasion de tables rondes. Également dans la Halle, le Casino Luxembourg - Forum d’art contemporain délocalise son InfoLab le temps de l’événement pour proposer un espace de documentation spécialisé en art contemporain. « Luxembourg Art Week est aussi un moment intéressant pour les entreprises, souligne Alex Reding. C’est l’occasion pour elles de participer à un événement de prestige, d’inviter leurs clients, de faire découvrir Luxembourg sous un autre jour, de réaliser des circuits ‘art’ dans nos différentes institutions et galeries en ville. Il y a donc de nombreux événements corporate qui sont organisés. » Cette forte implication des entreprises se retrouve également dans une autre nouveauté : le Club des amis de Luxembourg Art Week, une plateforme spécialisée pour les besoins des collectionneurs (voir notre encadré). Une manière de ressentir les bénéfices de Luxembourg Art Week tout au long de l’année.

Luxembourg presents a unique landscape in terms of contemporary art, says Reding.

“Luxembourg is the only city within a 150km radius to have an art market that works. This deserves highlighting not only at the Greater Region level, but also at the international one.

Furthermore, we have the good fortune of being a region that is home to many business HQs as well as some relevant collections. Luxembourg has many art aficionados and collectors spread throughout the region so we wanted to create an event that matched our ambitions, which are both national and international.”

Luxembourg is indeed a very international country with many residents from abroad. This can also be felt in the art market with several international galleries recently moving to Luxembourg; Bernard Ceysson

Marita Reuter de la Galerie Clairefontaine exposera dans la section « Positions » de Luxembourg Art Week.

Marita Reuter of the Galerie Clairefontaine will be exhibiting in the “Positions” section at Luxembourg Art Week.

I want to ensure that there are spaces showing pop art, others displaying older art and still very current work. I am also careful that the range of prices remains varied so that people can find works both for 2,000 euros but also 200,000 euros,” says Reding.

As well as stalls for the various galleries, the partnership with the historic Cercle Artistique Luxembourgeois (CAL) returns this year. As was the case in the first edition, it will be possible to discover and acquire works by CAL artists during their annual exhibition, Le (Bernard Ceysson Gallery), Nordine Zidoun Salon, which will also take place in the Victor and Audrey Bossuyt (the Zidoun-Bossuyt Gal- Hugo Hall on the same dates.

PUBLIREPORTAGE

Vous êtes un grand voyageur. En quoi vos différentes expériences influencent-elles votre cuisine ?

J’ai passé de nombreuses années à voyager et à travailler dans différents pays du monde : en France, à Madagascar, en Espagne, en Indonésie, en Allemagne, au Danemark…

Cela m’a permis de découvrir de nouveaux produits et de nouvelles saveurs. Cet enrichissement culturel a naturellement fait évoluer ma cuisine qui se caractérise aujourd’hui par des plats à la fois classiques et innovants avec une touche de chaque pays.

Quel est le premier plat que vous avez réalisé ?

Le poulet aux épices d’Indonésie, un plat que nous avions l’habitude de déguster en famille.

Qu’est-ce qui vous a amené à Luxembourg et plus particulièrement à la Brasserie-Restaurant Kennedy ?

Le multiculturalisme. Vivre au Luxembourg et travailler à la BrasserieRestaurant Kennedy me permet de m’enrichir quotidiennement de toutes ces cultures. De plus, le challenge de répondre aux attentes de cette clientèle internationale me passionne.

Quelle est la création culinaire de votre carte dont vous êtes le plus fier ?

Entre terre et mer : tranches de filet de bœuf saignant et gambas sautées aux légumes asiatiques, sauce soja et oyster sauce, riz thaï parfumé au jasmin. Les clients en raffolent !

Et en matière de desserts ?

L’assiette de saveurs : pâte sablée pralinée garnie de mini macarons, sorbet à la fraise, fruits frais et guimauve.

Avez-vous des ingrédients que vous aimez particulièrement travailler ?

Le poisson et les fruits de mer. L’esthétisme des plats est aujourd’hui primordial et ces ingrédients m’inspirent particulièrement visuellement. Ma créativité s’exprime alors dans mes assiettes.

Partageriez-vous votre rituel d’avant service ?

Je chante toujours avant le service.

Vous êtes originaire des Pays-Bas, quelles sont vos spécialités néerlandaises favorites ?

Bien sûr le poisson mais également la moule hollandaise et l’agneau de Texel.

Quels sont vos conseils pour un jeune cuisinier qui débute ?

Le métier de cuisinier est un métier de passion. Mais au-delà du fait d’être passionné, il faut de la persévérance, de l’investissement et de l’audace.

© Photo Graph’ Differdange 2016

D’où vient votre passion pour la cuisine ?

Cette passion est née lorsque j’étais enfant et plus particulièrement sur le chemin de l’école. En effet, je passais chaque jour devant ce restaurant et je voyais, à travers les vitres, des cuisiniers travailler des produits frais tout juste réceptionnés. L’envie de sublimer ces produits est aussitôt apparue.

Where does your passion for cooking come from?

This passion came when I was a child and especially on the way to school. Indeed, I was walking past a restaurant every day and I could see, through the windows, cooks working with fresh products just delivered. The desire to sublimate those products appeared immediately.

You are a frequent traveler. How did your experiences influence your cuisine?

I spent many years travelling and working in different countries all over the world: France, Madagascar, Spain, Indonesia, Germany, Denmark. This gave me the opportunity to discover new products and new flavors. My cuisine was influenced thanks to this cultural enrichment and is now characterized by both classic and innovative dishes with a touch of each country.

What is the first dish you made?

Spicy Indonesian chicken, a dish we were used to enjoy with my family.

What brought you to Luxembourg and more particularly to the Brasserie-Restaurant Kennedy?

Multiculturalism. Living in Luxembourg and working at the Brasserie-Restaurant Kennedy allows me to enrich myself of all these cultures every day. Moreover, the challenge of meeting the international clientele’s expectations is fascinating.

Which creation from the menu are you the most proud of?

Surf & Turf: Slices of rare beef fillet, sautéed gambas with Asian vegetables, soya and oyster sauce served with jasmine Thai rice.

Customers love it!

And regarding the deserts?

The “saveurs” plate: praline shortbread garnished with mini macaroons, strawberry sorbet, fresh fruits and marshmallow.

Do you have ingredients that you particularly enjoy working with?

Fish and seafood. Nowadays, the aesthetic of the dishes is essential and those ingredients inspire me visually. My creativity is then expressed in my plates.

Would you share your before service ritual?

I always sing before the service.

You are from the Netherlands, what are your favorite Dutch specialties?

Of course the fish but also the Dutch mussel and the Texel lamb.

What are your advices for a young Cook who starts?

Being a cook is a passion before being a profession. But beyond being passionate, it takes perseverance, investment and audacity.

CHANGEMENTS NOTABLES « Beaucoup de choses ont changé ici en 20 ans, » raconte Antoine Decker, qui a débuté sa carrière chez Luxair il y a 29 ans. « Le nombre d’employés a plus que doublé et les volumes traités ont augmenté au même rythme. De près de 300 000 tonnes en 1996, nous passerons à 800 000 tonnes cette année, ce qui nous place au 25e rang mondial et au 7e rang européen. Notre capacité totale de

La construction du Cargocenter a été achevée en 1996. Depuis lors, pour répondre à la demande du marché et à l’augmentation de volumes à traiter par LuxairCARGO, l’une des quatre activités de LuxairGroup, les lieux n’ont cessé d’évoluer. D’abord avec une première extension du système de stockage des palettes d’avion, puis avec la construction d’un deuxième bâtiment, le « Logistic Center », suivie par l’extension du bâtiment principal et de celle de la zone de fret hors gabarit.

stockage est d’environ 1,2 million de tonnes par an, mais il y a de la place pour de futures extensions. » L’ouverture du nouveau Pharma & Health­ ­care Hub en 2013, avec ses 3 000 m2 et ses trois zones de stockage à températures contrôlées, a également permis au Cargocenter de se positionner parmi les leaders mondiaux en matière de logistique pharmaceutique, d’autant plus que le centre a rapidement été certifié GDP (Good Distribution Practice). Parmi les autres développements notables, on peut aussi mentionner les efforts environnementaux entrepris au Cargocenter. LuxairCARGO fut en effet l’une des premières entités luxembourgeoises à être labellisée « Lean and Green ». « Toute l’énergie électrique utilisée au Cargocenter provient aujourd’hui de sources renouvelables. Nous avons, par ailleurs, instauré un système très performant de gestion des déchets », souligne Antoine Decker.

S’il faut toujours autant d’ingéniosité et de maîtrise pour construire des palettes et les charger dans les avions gros-porteurs, la façon de travailler a, quant à elle, forcément évolué. Cela s’explique notamment par l’entrée en vigueur de réglementations toujours plus strictes et d’une demande de plus en plus exigeante en

matière de sécurité et d’efficacité. Et sur le tarmac, plus besoin de se boucher les oreilles au décollage ou à l’atterrissage d’un avion ; les appareils de fret actuels sont étonnamment discrets. Quant à la nature des marchandises qui transitent par le Cargocenter, elles ont connu des « modes » différentes, comme partout ailleurs. « Il fut un temps où les palettes et containers étaient remplis de magnétoscopes, puis on a chargé des avions entiers de smartphones et d’écrans plats. Pendant des années, on a aussi eu le ‘week-end Beaujolais nouveau’ avec de nombreuses cargaisons à destination du Japon… » En se promenant entre les palettes et le ballet incessant des chariots élévateurs, on s’aperçoit vite que les hommes et femmes qui travaillent ici ont tout vu, tout expédié et que rien ne pourra les déstabiliser. Toutefois, certains « visiteurs » ont marqué plus que d’autres, comme le passage d’un rhinocéros blanc ou l’atterrissage du légendaire Antonov AN-225.

Quant à Cargolux, il s’agit d’une compagnie aérienne spécialisée dans le transport de marchandises, l’une des plus importantes au niveau mondial. » Bien que Cargolux soit son client le plus important, LuxairCARGO travaille aussi avec de nombreuses autres compagnies comme Qatar Airways, Silk Way West Airlines, AirBridgeCargo, China Airlines, Atlas Air, mais également avec de nombreux transitaires de renommée mondiale qui ont une base à Luxembourg. Pour assurer ses opérations, LuxairCARGO collabore aussi étroitement et régulièrement avec les autorités locales : Douanes, Division de la Sécurité alimentaire et ASTA, Police grand-ducale, Division de la Radioprotection, Services vétérinaires, Office des Licences de Transit.

There was which makes us the 7th largest airfreight plata first extension of the stacker system, followed by that of the main building, the outsized freight area and the animal station. Not forgoing the construction of the second Logistics Centre warehouse and that of the new and now renowned Pharma & Healthcare Hub. This year will see the arrival of a Reachstacker, nor-

form in Europe and the 25th worldwide. Our total storage capacity is 1,200,000 tonnes per year, but there is room for further expansions.” The opening of the new Pharma & Healthcare Hub in 2013 – 3,000 m2 and three different temperature-controlled storage zones – has also positioned Cargocenter among the world’s top

obtained the GDP certification (Good Distribution Practice). Among other notable developments that have taken place are the environmental actions. LuxairCARGO was one of the first four companies in

46

Luxembourg to be certified “Lean & Green”. “All of the electrical power we use comes from renewable energy sources now and we have also put in place a very effective waste management system.”

Though the same amount of ingenuity and skill is still needed to prepare cargo pallets and load them properly – “a cargo aircraft is like a puzzle” – the way of working has perforce changed. This is mainly due to the entry into force of stricter regulations and an increased demand for security and efficiency. On the runway, no one needs to cover their ears at takeoff anymore: nowadays cargo carriers are surprisingly discreet. As for the type of goods handled in the Cargocenter, they have gone through different fashions. “Once, the pallets and containers were loaded with video recorders, then we filled planes with smartphones and flat screens. For years we also had the traditional ‘Beaujolais nouveau’ weekend, with a number of shipments for Japan…”

When making your way around the pallets and the never-ending ballet of forklifts, it quickly becomes clear that the men and women who work here have seen everything, shipped everything and that nothing can unsettle them. However some “visitors” have been more memorable than others, like a white rhinoceros or the legendary Antonov AN-225.

IMPORTANT PARTNERS The remarkable facilities and know-how as well as the seamless management and efficiency undeniably explain why the Luxembourgish logistic centre has become one of the top ones worldwide. However its development is also closely linked to Cargolux’s growth, as the company makes up for more than two

thirds of Cargocentre’s handled volume. For those who still confuse LuxairCARGO and Cargolux, Antoine Decker sums it up like this: “LuxairCARGO loads and unloads the planes and handles, stores and palletizes the freight.

Whereas Cargolux is an airline specialised in transporting the freight – among the world’s leading ones.” Even though Cargolux is by far the platform’s biggest client, the Cargocentre also works with many other airlines, like Qatar Airways, Silk Way West Airlines, AirBridgeCargo, China Airlines and Atlas Air, but also with a number of the world’s largest air carriers based in Luxembourg. To fulfil its operations, LuxairCARGO also regularly works with local authorities: Customs, Food Security Division and ASTA, the Grand-Ducal Police force, Radiation Protection Division, the Veterinary department and the Transit Licenses Office.

The whole world transits through here and it’s hard not to be enthralled by it. Every day, carriers capable of transporting over 100 tonnes of freight arrive from, and take off to, every continent. It’s near impossible not to be impressed by how the facilities have been made in a way to accommodate any type of cargo in optimal conditions. In fact, there’s no way around it: even after 20 years, the Cargocentre remains truly captivating. 

ntico Arco offers diners a gourmet escape from the chaos of the historic center without having to stray too far afield.

Perched on the Janiculum Hill, this elegant restaurant serves glorified Mediterranean cuisine – from both sea and land – in a number of small, intimate dining rooms. Romolo, in the characteristic neighbourhood of Trastevere, boasts the rare combination of genuine, frillfree Roman fare and a romantic rooftop setting, serving local classics like amatriciana and carbonara with a backdrop of the illuminated Porta Settimiana, a Renaissance-era city gate.

Located on the leafy and residential Aventine Hill, Queen Makeda Grand Pub, by contrast, is a buzzing new eatery serving up inventive fusion cuisine, bite-sized temptations that come whizzing past on a conveyor belt, and 40 kinds craft beer. Dine in their bamboo garden weekdays at lunch.

Taki in the Prati district is one of the city’s most authentic Japanese restaurants, featuring a tatami area where guests dine barefoot at low tables, a bar where curious diners can watch their sushi being crafted, and a tearoom serving 15 varieties of Japanese tea.

Vintage furnishings and a cosmopolitan ambience characterize Pastificio San Lorenzo, a restaurant housed in a former pasta factory that doubles a contemporary art gallery.

Dans le quartier typique du Trastevere, le Romolo propose une cuisine

On y dîne sur des tables basses, pieds nus sur un tatami, et les clients curieux peuvent assister à la confection de leurs sushis depuis un comptoir. L’établissement propose également 15 variétés de thé japonais.

Le Pastificio San Lorenzo, quant à lui, se caractérise par son mobilier vintage et son atmosphère cosmopolite. Ce restaurant établi dans les locaux d’une ancienne fabrique de pâtes abrite également une galerie d’art contemporain.

orsalino’s classic Fedora is arguably one of the most recognisable hats of all time, but the world-famous milliner also designs berets, cloches, caps, bowlers and many other options to keep your head covered and your look on trend this winter.

For those in the market for men’s shoes, Laudadio has been hand-crafting exquisite leather footwear for over 80 years. The company is now run by the founder’s sons, who continue to produce handmade shoes with exceptional materials, all strictly made in Italy, including one-of-a-kind bespoke models.

Since the 13th century, the tiny Italian town of Fabriano has been producing some of the finest paper in the western world. A stop at their Rome boutique is a must for any papyrophile: notebooks, stationery, agendas, journals and sketchbooks are temptingly on display, all in stream-lined designs and bold colors.

Andrea925 crafts hand-made silver jewelry that is unusual, quirky, and just a touch macabre, from the anatomical heart pendant to the turntable charm to the skull ring encrusted with black diamonds. Their ring set with a tiny piece of a Roman cobblestone in place of a gemstone is a truly unique souvenir of the Eternal City.

Cheese-lovers over the world flock to Beppe e i suoi formaggi in the Jewish Quarter, where a large display showcases a tantalizing array of cow, sheep, and goat’s milk cheeses, all produced by the family of Beppe himself, in a tradition going back generations.

Reliance to ensure business Text Sarah Pitt — Illustration Myriam Heinzel

EBRC and Arendt Services joined forces in June 2016 to become the first companies in Luxembourg to be certified with the ISO 22301 standard.

102

T

his is a big step towards the reliance in the use of digitalisation to serve businesses in Luxembourg, by ensuring its safety and reliability. Launched in May 2012, the ISO 22301 certification attests to the management of sensitive information and business continuity, and strengthens companies in terms of reliability and quality. The demanding process to obtain the internationally recognised label took EBRC and Arendt Services 12 months since inception. To date, fewer than 1,000 companies are certified in Europe, of which Luxembourg now hosts two.

KEEPING DIGITAL DATA SAFE “A major business concern today is ensuring business continuity in the event of a crisis,” explains Yves Reding, CEO of EBRC (European Business Reliance Centre, PSF certified). The partnership of IT service provider EBRC and business facilitator Arendt Services has allowed the two companies to address this concern and provide a reliable answer to their international clients.

Set up in 2000 with the aim of being a European centre of IT excellence in the management of sensitive information, EBRC has achieved this goal via an impressive trajectory and has received over 60 international technical and professional certifications and awards. They currently have three Tier IV data

centres, the most stringent classification, which guarantees the highest level of availability for IT infrastructures, proved by zero downtime over 16 years. They repeatedly demonstrate their focus on quality and excellence, and their investment in being a leading business accelerator.

Founded in 2009, Arendt Services offers a full range of services to businesses for the setting up and management of their operations in Luxembourg. The CEO of Arendt Services, Olivier Hamou, notes: “With this standard, we are meeting the expectations of our customers who require integrated, solid and verified solutions. This certification perfectly corresponds to our philosophy of contributing to the sustainability of our customers’ businesses.”

“Our partnership with EBRC allowed us to provide a robust

WHAT IS ISO 22301?

ISO 22301 is an international standard for the management of business continuity activities designed to protect businesses against potential disruptions by implementing the necessary measures to ensure their survival and thus their sustainability.

end-to-end solution to companies through the implementation of a business continuity management system (BCMS) which covers all areas of our activities, on the one hand, and an EBRC backup site (Tier IV data centre), which is also certified, on the other hand. It is an invaluable way to stand out from the crowd while optimising our processes.”

“While working towards a BCMS, the collaboration was going so well that we decided to go one step further and to accompany each other in the process to obtain the ISO 22301 certification,” explains CFO of Arendt Services and project manager Alexandre Gas. “This alliance to provide the European market with a double ISO 22301 certification in Luxembourg ensures that every customer planning to set up a business here receives end-to-end continuity for their services.”

In addition, as EBRC and Arendt Services are both Luxem­bourg professionals of the financial sector (PSFs), they are regulated by the Commission de surveillance du secteur financier (CSSF), the Luxembourg supervisory authority, and therefore have to comply with strict regulations. Regarding concerns about security and transparency, this status acts in their favour, and the two certified companies offer a fast way to set up clients in the highly regulated Luxembourg environment with the best business continuity insurance.

COLLABORATING TO MEET INTERNATIONAL EXPECTATIONS The Luxembourg government values the importance for the economy of reliability and the security of digital information and recognises the market appeal that this can generate, both within and beyond its borders. Étienne Schneider, deputy prime minister of Luxembourg and minister of the economy, applauds the initiative: “Congratulations to EBRC and Arendt Services for being the first Luxembourg PSF companies to meet the requirements of this ISO standard. Beyond their pioneering role, both companies highlight the role of Luxembourg as a European ICT hub, combining state-of-theart infrastructure with a scientific and technological multidisciplinary approach.”

business activity from both a client’s and a company’s perspective is ensured by this certification on an international scale. “ISO is an international reference on the market and clients worldwide are aware of the certification and look for it. We found it critical to respond to clients’ expectations and to provide a reliable service in this respect,” says Hamou.

CERTIFICATION AND BEYOND “EBRC and Arendt Services have the shared ambition of always aiming high and looking ahead to lead the way and be the first to innovate. To obtain the certification requires hard work and commitment. Once achieved, the challenge thereafter lies in maintaining the high standard,” explains Reding.

The procedure involves the implementation and docu-

“ISO is an international reference on the market and clients worldwide are aware of the certification and look for it.”

mentation of all the processes that ensure the robustness and efficiency of business continuity measures such as: the business continuity policy, a business impact analysis (BIA) of all their activities and interdependencies, a risk analysis (threats, vulnerabilities, impacts, recommendations for the management of risks), the business continuity strategy (human resources, data, applications, critical suppliers), continuity plans for operations, communication, IT recovery, crisis management...

In addition, there is a continual improvement process each year. Certified companies must have an annual interim audit to ensure that the standards meet the requirements. There is also an audit every three years which determines whether the company is eligible for recertification or not. “This shows our long-term commitment to continuously improve our services, in line with our quality culture and the reliability we want to provide to our customers,” states Hamou.

In an age of ever-increasing digitalisation, companies are responsible for providing high availability, confidentiality and integrity of their information.

The certification demonstrates EBRC’s and Arendt Service’s mission to strive towards ensuring critical processes and ways to recover them, while increasing Luxembourg’s visibility and credibility on the worldwide digital market.

Legal meets digital Text Wendy Casey — Illustration Myriam Heinzel

Man’s reliance on the law is as deep-routed as the most ancient of customs. justice

by nature

is designed to penalise crime,

and must evolve at a pace comparable with civilisation’s rate of evolution.

106

I

t follows that in times of significant innovation, the law must extend to encompass related developments whilst remaining both authoritative and dependable. Technology plays a significant role in the advancement of civilisation, and has a far-reaching impact on virtually every aspect of daily life. Lawyers are certainly not exempt from the acceleration of technological advancement which appears to have reached fever pitch – resulting in a stream of new services, platforms and products to the market.

Faced with competition from new players such as legal start-ups, legal professionals are having to re-think their roles. Digital, structural modifications impact upon client relationships and when it comes to legal advice, lawyers may have no choice but to evolve.

Who better to shed light on this legal and digital entanglement than Rosario Grasso, president of the Luxembourg Bar Association since September 2014?

“My two-year mandate actually comes to an end on 15th September,” he explains “and it’s been a tremendous experience.” He discovered his passion for the law at the tender age of 8 when he was taken to tribunals by his aunt, one of the first women to practice as a lawyer in southern Italy, “although the desire to help and defend people is probably hard-coded into my personality,” he muses.

Admitted to the Luxembourg Bar in 1991, he’s witnessed an enor-

mous amount of change over the last 25 years; “When I started, around 280 lawyers were admitted to the Luxembourg Bar – today we are 2,300. The structure of the profession has also changed since most lawyers were practicing in groups of areas such as civil, commercial and labour law. As time has passed, we’ve seen more and more highly specialised, qualified lawyers working in anything from civil to administrative law and of course banking and finance, where around half of all our lawyers are currently focused.” Since 1991, the pressure to specialise has clearly increased and Grasso points out that cases involving data protection and intellectual property for

example, demand highly experienced lawyers who are familiar with the associated laws and innovations.

KEEPING PACE WITH TECHNOLOGY The internet and the wealth of knowledge it contains has shaped client expectations. “Clients have become more critical and can research their lawyers in advance to understand in which areas they are working and how effectively.”

He points to the legal 500 website by way of example which assesses the strengths of law firms in over 100 jurisdictions and highlights the teams providing the most cutting edge advice.

When asked whether the legal

“Specialisation is the future of our profession, and technology will continue to influence the way in which lawyers work.”

Rosario Grasso

President of the Luxembourg Bar Association

b u s i n e s s

profession is keeping up with the pace of digital innovation, Grasso pauses. “That’s a tricky question but I would say yes. I’m aware that there are other individuals who try to appropriate what we are doing, using the internet as a legal platform from which to deliver virtual legal advice.” He explains that according to the Luxembourg law of 10th August 1991, governing the legal profession of lawyers, only lawyers can offer legal advice. He continues; “But certain other professionals may under very specific circumstances, proffer advice if it is an ‘accessory’ activity to their own.” Banks, unions and insurance companies are among the bodies falling within this category but Grasso is quick to explain that if the person or body is not authorised, then they risk being sued or indicted for committing a criminal offence.

Suddenly, everyone’s an expert with access to an extensive library of online knowledge, but it needs to be carefully assessed and disseminated. “The Automobile Club of Luxembourg has taken the opportunity to post contract templates on its website, aimed at people wishing to buy or sell their cars. These templates have been approved by lawyers or legal services so it’s not a problem, but they are not for use under other circumstances,” he says. “In fact we have files in which clients have copied inappropriate contracts for personal purposes and the contracts were deemed incompatible.”

BUSINESS SUCCESS ENTAILS MOVING WITH THE TIMES So what of the benefits presented by technology; “We are fully aware that new web technologies and algorithms are useful. It’s far easier today to research case law via officially and formally recognised websites than it’s ever been.

15 years ago this was unimaginable - I often had to visit the Memoriale

where laws were published or walk to the court and national libraries.”

Grasso laughs as he reflects upon the past. “Definitely there are advantages,” he says. “There are now links you can click on that provide the entire historical process of a law and its amendments. The profession has changed – tag sheets that were once written manually are now computerised and 8090% of firms have invested in the required software.” He believes that keeping up with technology is essential for a law firm’s longterm survival. “Our lawyers are regularly trained by IT staff and have been adapting for some years, becoming more and more efficient.

The Luxembourg Bar invested around €2 million in new technologies including its own cloud,” he explains. “This guarantees client confidentiality and together with the Ministry of Justice, we are working towards a paperless environment by 2023. We have to keep pace and not be where we were 20 years ago. I see lawyers of more than 70 years of age, on their smartphones and communicating by email. 30 years ago you

received a letter and replied to it a week later; today you have to respond immediately or risk losing a client to another firm.” He is only too aware of the height of client expectations and highlights the fact that following the Lehman Brothers crisis, most clients refer to several lawyers to check levels of expertise and price indications before committing – often trying to negotiate capped fees.

Looking to the future, Grasso sees the role of the lawyer becoming increasingly specialised – delving deeper into specific “sub areas” within administrative and labour law, citing data protection as an example. “Specialisation is the future of our profession, and technology will continue to influence the way in which lawyers work,” he asserts. “The internet has increased transparency, which is great news for our clients who wish to benefit from good service at a competitive price. The internet will continue to empower lawyers to work more efficiently, which will impact on the time spent and potentially drive down fees.” The digital future, it seems, is bright.

Next phase for alternative funds Text Stephen Evans — Illustration Myriam Heinzel

Despite complaints about fees, ALTERNATIVE

INVESTMENT FUNDS

remain a popular choice. The cross-border fund specialist Luxembourg is benefiting and is beefing up its offering to fund managers.

P

ressure to minimise the fees charged by investment fund managers has grown recently. The costs of “alternative” products such as hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate funds and the like have been under the spotlight, as these products are particularly costly to run.

From time to time news emerges that large institutions are set to scale back their commitment to alternatives, but the overall evidence points to increased demand as investors seek original ways to generate financial returns. For example, total assets managed by the top 100 alternative investment managers globally reached $3.6 trillion in 2015, an increase of 3% on the previous year, said a recent survey by the consultancy Willis Towers Watson.

ADAPTING TO GROWTH Further evidence is the buzz around the Luxembourg alternative fund sector. The specialist in cross-border distribution saw net inflows of €6.4bn into alternative investment funds (AIFs) in the first quarter of this year, out of a €43.4bn increase across

110-112_Business_Funds.indd 110

Europe, said the European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA). This resulted in total assets under management for AIFs in Luxembourg of €549bn, equating to 10.7% of the European market. This market share was two percentage points higher than that of Ireland, the Grand Duchy’s friendly rival in the cross-border fund business. A total of 4,411 AIFs are domiciled in Luxembourg, the second-highest figure in Europe, with these funds run by more than 820 authorised or registered managers. If one includes funds sold to retail clients, regulated under the EU’s UCITS directive, Luxembourg had total assets under management of €3.34trn in Q1 2016: 26.0% of the European market.

Such is the demand for AIFs in Luxembourg, that a lengthy backlog has developed at the local regulator, the CSSF. It is struggling to process requests swiftly, with some fund managers forced to wait months before being able to bring new products to market. The Reserved Alternative Investment Fund (RAIF) law that came into force on 1st August should ease the pressure.

The problem originates with Luxembourg having added an extra layer of regulation to its interpretation of the EU’s Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive. EU law only requires that the management company be regulated, but Luxembourg also insists that the fund be supervised. The industry argued that this was often not necessary, as the vast majority of AIFs are sold to sophisticated investors (institutions or very wealthy individuals) who do not need regulatory protection.

LISTENING TO CONCERNS The Luxembourg government responded to these concerns, worked with the industry and introduced the RAIF. Similar in structure to the country’s venerable Specialised Investment Fund (SIF), the RAIF does not need prior approval and on-going supervision by the regulator if the end investor is demonstrably “sophisticated”. Instead, AIFMD compliant fund managers (which can be based in any EU country) must submit regular reports to the CSSF about their RAIFs. With

this in place, the RAIF is then granted an EU passport enabling it to be marketed without restriction across borders.

“I understand from many industry colleagues that there is significant interest and demand for the RAIF,” said Denise Voss, chairman of the Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry (ALFI).

“Managers can set up their alternative investment funds as Part II UCIs, SIFs or SICARs if they prefer direct supervision of the fund by the CSSF,” she said, but “alternatively they can set up their alternative investment fund as a RAIF, thereby reducing time-to-market.”

OPPORTUNITIES FROM BREXIT? Brexit may also present some longer-term opportunities to the Luxembourg alternatives sector. For retail funds, the UCITS market is open to international players seeking to sell throughout Europe and beyond. Funds managed in the US, Switzerland and other non-EU jurisdictions are domiciled in Luxembourg or Dublin, the two main cross-border hubs and single market access is assured. The UK outside the EU would be able to follow a similar course, simply by conforming to European regulations.

The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive is less welcoming. Since coming into force in 2011, only fund managers based in the EU have relatively straightforward access to the marketing passport. This document enables them to sell around the single market without needing to gain regulatory approval in each country. However, non-EU countries have to find a way around this, with a favoured technique being to use in each member state of private placement regimes which mimic fund structures.

CHANGED ENVIRONMENT There is the possibility of nonEU countries being granted a marketing passport. The European Securities and Markets

110-112_Business_Funds.indd 112

Authority (ESMA) first gives a recommendation and then the EU decision-making bodies need to act. Last summer, ESMA said that Switzerland, Jersey and Guernsey were compliant with EU rules and could be given EU-market access, and Canada and Japan were added to this list in July this year.

Applications from other countries (including the USA, Cayman Islands, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore) received only qualified approval. At any rate, the Commission, European Council and European Parliament have not moved on last year’s recommendations, so short-term access for non-EU jurisdictions is unlikely.

Moreover, after Brexit there could be a hardening further of the EU stance, not least because the UK was the main large country pushing for a more liberal regime in EU decision-making forums.

The conclusion may be that non-EU fund managers come to think that they should establish a solid presence within the single market. Luxembourg would be one of the candidates for such a move. Over half of alternative fund managers in Europe are based in the UK, with 19% located in Switzerland. “It is certainly too early to say what the impact on UK AIFMs would be, but if some decide to seek a EU hub, Luxembourg would be a clear choice,” Denise Voss remarked.

Connecting start-ups to key players Text Sarah Pitt — Illustration Myriam Heinzel

The Digital Lëtzebuerg initiative is a clear indication of the Luxembourg government’s desire to accelerate the digitalisation of the economy.

One of the principal avenues consists of enhancing the appeal of creative start-ups from abroad and improving their local development.

114

A

lthough the Big Four might not be a young company’s instinctive first port of call, these larger corporations have programmes dedicated to promoting the appeal of Luxembourg for international start-ups. The aim is invariably to connect key companies with startups and to facilitate unrivalled support – both professional and financial – for innovative leaders at the beginning of their business launch. To this end, EY Luxembourg launched EYnovation in July 2015, the successor to its privileged partnership with Europe4StartUps. “Luxembourg started to develop 15 years ago in the areas of innovation and technology. The nation began to be able to offer broadened expertise and attract companies from the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) sectors such as Amazon, Ebay, Skype, Paypal, Rakuten and so on. Little by little, the Grand Duchy has become a TMT centre

and hub built on the foundation of SES, RTL, Millicom and others alongside its traditional financial background,” explains Olivier Lemaire, technology media & telecom leader at EY Luxembourg.

A COLLABORATIVE OPEN PLATFORM “Luxembourg is branding itself as a start-up nation and its ecosystem is developing rapidly. It has become much more active, with its many incubators, acceleration platforms and co-working spaces as well as significant support from the government, the University of Luxem­bourg and large corporations to advance and encourage innovation start-ups,” says Hélène DelamareGutton, EYnovation project manager at EY Luxembourg.

Many years ago, EY Luxembourg started looking at how to assist the development of start-up companies to boost small entrepreneurs to develop innovative ideas. “Now all the pieces are here but what is still missing

is how to find funds, and more funding is needed in Luxembourg.

In essence, I believe that you will find funds if you have good ideas.

We don’t raise funds for start-ups but we try to match them with fund providers using our network,” states Olivier Lemaire.

At EY, the will is to help start-ups in different ways in addition to the typical services that they offer. “We give startups access to our thought leadership materials and local or international industry experts as well as to our global EY network. We also give them access to our client base,” says Olivier Lemaire. “For example, if we can introduce a start-up to an executive at an established corporation with whom we work, such a connection can give them a leap start. We associate the start-ups to our brand and in doing so we demonstrate our confidence in them. It’s about providing an open platform for connecting people. Being backed

PARTNERSHIPS IN THE ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM EYnovation is managed by Hélène Delamare-Gutton along with Anthony Cannella. The team is made up of five partners and 10-15 managers and senior managers who are all part of the TMT practice at EY Luxembourg spread across EY service lines: transactions, advisory, assurance and tax. The dedicated EYnovation team is fully active within the firm meaning that all managers come from different practices and are well-connected. “Everybody continues their regular assurance, tax, or advisory job alongside being involved in EYnovation. This is exciting as the links are very much alive: they bring start-ups into contact with clients that they work with on a daily basis,” says Hélène Delamare-Gutton.

EYnovation can take on between 10 and 15 start-ups at a time. In order to be selected, startups must have a proof of concept, a legal entity set up and be ready to start generating revenue. Innovative ideas are a must, with a link to technology a close second.

A focus on the TMT industry and fintech is most typical but the biotech and greentech industries are slowly starting up. Candidates are invited to pitch their idea in front of a jury composed of EY TMT partners and managers. “We want to have a good connection with the start-up from the outset. The idea, the proof of concept and the team are all important. But ultimately it comes down to personal fit,” says Hélène Delamare-Gutton. Once selected, each start-up gets an individual EY coach for six months, free of charge, acting as a point of contact to whom they can raise technical questions.

Bringing innovation to EY Coaching involves business plan strategy sessions, working with senior advisors, being connected with experts. In addition, EYnovation offers start-ups customised

services adapted to their needs, their stage of growth and maturity.

Being a member of the EYnovation community provides start-ups with access to exclusive events, offering an ideal opportunity for networking.

Hélène Delamare-Gutton adds: “There are also dedicated start-up events that can provide an informal setting where the purpose is to meet each other in a stimulating environment.”

Olivier Lemaire declares: “EYnovation is also about partnership. Typically, a start-up is looking for infrastructure and we are an open platform that can offer that.

We have partnerships with most of the players in the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Luxembourg, from IT infrastructure providers and incubators to communication agencies.

We want to work in a collaborative way and to open doors rather than work isolated behind closed ones.”

“Furthermore, EYnovation is a way to develop our own staff.

They work regularly with young entrepreneurs, which enables us to grow. In some cases, we buy the services of the start-ups who are part of EYnovation. Becoming a client is a great way to support them and likewise brings innovation to our services,” says Olivier Lemaire. The benefits demonstrably work both ways: “One EYnovation participant in the fintech sector has turned into an audit and tax client. It was a very successful case and they are now an established company moving to the next level of growth.”

“We believe that EYnovation also contributes to the Luxembourg community and economy.

We invest a lot in terms of time and manpower dedicated to the start-ups and believe it is part of our corporate responsibility and our contribution to the nation,” concludes Olivier Lemaire.

RAINER KLUMP

Parlons de votre toute première expérience de vol... J’ai volé pour la première fois en 1972. J’avais 14 ans et je me suis rendu avec mon père en avion jusqu’à Londres. Super souvenir, super ville. C’est de là que vient ma passion pour l’aviation.

Quelle est votre destination de voyage préférée ? Avezvous un coup de cœur à partager avec nos lecteurs ?

Pendant 20 ans, j’ai fait des séjours de recherche en Inde et j’y retourne depuis souvent en avion, que ce soit en vol direct ou via Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur ou Singapour.

J’ai toujours été particulièrement attiré par Hanoï, une métropole asiatique très authentique et pleine de vie, dans laquelle on peut côtoyer l’histoire récente et plus

ancienne du Vietnam. Ses environs offrent également toute une série de destinations fascinantes pour des escapades. On peut profiter du magnifique paysage dès l’atterrissage.

Imaginons que vous soyez libre de choisir la personne que vous voulez pour concevoir l’avion de vos rêves ; de qui s’agirait-il et à quoi ressemblerait l’avion ? L’avion de mes rêves est un avion qui me permettrait d’observer attentivement les paysages en dessous de moi et dans lequel j’aurais tout le temps et le loisir de profiter de la vue. J’imagine d’ailleurs davantage un vieux biplan qu’un jet ultramoderne (bien que je préfère nettement le confort des avions modernes).

Let’s start talking about your very first flight experience ever... I flew for the first time in 1972, when I was 14 years of age and flew to London with my father.

Great memories of a great city. From then on my passion for aviation grew.

What’s your favourite city to travel to these days?

Any local “coup de cœur” to share with our readers?

I made a few research trips to India over the space of 20 years and I’ve been flying back there regularly ever since, either directly or via Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. Hanoi has always particularly appealed to me, as a very authentic Asian metropolis that is bustling with life, where Vietnam’s recent history sits alongside its ancient past. The surrounding areas also offer a plethora of fascinating destinations to visit, and you can really appreciate the magnificent landscapes there as soon as you land.

Now let’s imagine you would be free to choose anyone you want to design the airplane of your dreams: who would it be and how would you expect the plane to be? My dream aircraft would be an aircraft that would allow me to carefully observe the landscapes below me and one that would give me the time and the opportunity to enjoy the view. I’m also thinking more of an old biplane than an ultramodern jet (although I certainly prefer the comfort of modern aircraft).
