					<description><![CDATA[Although the article did not say what the benefits are for these three companies, having them working with local universities and companies will be a benefit for the country.  The article specifies some of the benefits that these three companies will bring to Luxembourg: 

Made In Space will create perhaps 50 jobs there, developing a low cost robotic arm, which undoubtedly will compete with designs similar to Canadarm2.  

CubeRover will develop small (2 kg or so) lunar or planetary rovers there, meaning more jobs and space engineering experience in one of the challenging areas of space exploration. 

Hydrosat will set up its headquarters there and apparently do its R&#038;D work in Luxembourg.  

It is clear to me that Luxembourg is trying to become a new space technology center, just as the Los Angeles area was an aerospace technology center from before 1940 or as Mojave is a space technology center today.  These areas attract engineers who want to work on state of the art aerospace projects.  

Unlike Australia, whose CSIRO executive director for the Digital, National Facilities and Collections group, Dave Williams, says should &quot;push&quot; some of its industries into specific space work ( https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/australian-agency-pushes-australia-to-join-nasa-gateway-project/ ), Luxembourg is offering &lt;i&gt;incentives &lt;/i&gt;for foreign investment in their country to increase its footprint in the space industry.  One advocates top-down direction (dictatorial), and the other provides incentive for bottom-up enthusiasm (liberty).]]></description>
