A fourteen-year-old has won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge. Sirish Subash created a device called Pestiscand. It is a handheld device for at-home use to detect pesticide residue on produce without damaging the food. It measures the wavelength of light reflecting off of fruits and vegetables and uses a machine-learning model to analyse the data. Users download a phone app, point Pestiscand at the produce, tap the scan button and voilà, they see if their apple or spinach needs another rinse.

This week on the PwC People Pulse we welcomed Vincent Hein, Director at Fondation Idea, and Patrick Schon Partner at PwC Luxembourg, to discuss the upcoming Journée de l’Économie, taking place on 24th March at the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce. Organised by PwC, the Ministry of Economy, and the Chamber of Commerce, this annual event brings together business leaders, policymakers, and academics to tackle major economic challenges. This year’s theme is Artificial Intelligence and its impact on business and society. AI is rapidly transforming industries, and the event will explore questions such as: How will AI shape the future of work? Will it replace jobs or create new opportunities? How can Europe compete in the AI race? The day will feature keynote speeches, including one from Nadia Calvino, President of the European Investment Bank, and Dr. Luc Julia, co-creator of Apple’s Siri and Chief Scientific Officer at Renault Group. Two expert panels will dive into the economic challenges and opportunities AI presents both on the macroeconomic level and within copmanies, with perspectives from startups, corporations, and financial institutions. Beyond insights and discussions, the event also supports a great cause. The €70 registration fee is fully donated to MEC asbl, a project helping children with their studies. Want to be part of the conversation? Register now at Journée de l’Économie’s official website and join over 200 attendees in shaping the future of AI in Luxembourg and beyond!

LUCA's latest exhibition is shining a spotlight on Luxembourg’s housing crisis and one proposed way to tackle it. At the heart of the exhibition is the concept of housing cooperatives, an alternative model for affordable and community-driven living that has already found success in other European countries. Speaking to Dr Céline Zimmer, and Maribel Casas, the director of LUCA, we find out about how cooperatives function. Unlike traditional housing markets, cooperatives are member owned, ensuring each individual has an equal vote regardless of financial investment. This model not only fosters inclusivity but also provides an economically sustainable solution to the ongoing housing challenges in Luxembourg. The exhibition is based on the work of Dr Céline Zimmer. A key barrier to implementing housing cooperatives has been access to land, but recent policy changes are creating new opportunities. Agora, a development initiative, has designated land specifically for cooperatives, making the concept more viable than ever. Additionally, LUCA is offering guided tours and workshops to help potential members understand how to create and manage cooperative housing projects. Visitors to the exhibition can expect an engaging, accessible exploration of a complex topic. The exhibition includes architectural references, a historical timeline comparing Luxembourg and Switzerland, and insights into the policy landscape. For those eager to take the next step, LUCA’s "For Future Members Only" workshops provide practical guidance for launching their own cooperative housing initiatives. Located in Clausen, the exhibition is open Tuesday - Saturday and offers a chance to discover how housing cooperatives could revolutionise affordable living in Luxembourg.

Alrighty, guys, things are getting political… sort of! 😁 Luxembourg’s constitutional journey is like trying on outfits – they just couldn’t find the right fit at first. From 1815 to 1868, they tried on five different “constitutional looks,” but only the last three felt truly Luxembourgish. This story is more than just politics; it’s about a nation finding its identity amidst the chaos of history. Find out more at www.bourgmeisterin.com!…
