The Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (LHoFT) is proud to announce the six finalists selected for the Catapult: Future Foundation Bootcamp 2025. Following an intensive selection process that attracted over 30 innovative applicants from across Europe and Asia, these companies will participate in a transformative week-long program from May 19-23, 2025, in Luxembourg.

This Bootcamp brings together selected service and solution providers with industry experts, jury members, and key stakeholders to collaboratively explore practical use cases and assess operational readiness. The objective is to identify and support a solution with the strongest potential for sector-wide adoption.

The initiative builds on the Catapult Program launched in December 2024, backed by Luxembourg’s principal financial associations including LPEA, ABBL, ACA, ALFI, LuxCMA, LuxSE, and L3A.
