Although the Luxembourg ecosystem is rather known for the strength of its financial sector or still for its level of quality of life, the country is currently deploying the sector of the entrepreneurship. Since about ten years, the government has taken big initiatives in favor of the entrepreneurs. Numerous support structures are created and initiatives are implemented to guide the entrepreneur to success. 
This project-thesis aims at analyzing the support measures for entrepreneurship within the Greater Region and their opportunities for the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. This work is based on various qualitative and quantitative analysis of the support structures and of the needs of the entrepreneurs. 
First of all, the analysis of Luxembourg's entrepreneurial ecosystem was conducted in order to discover the various actors available in the country as well as their opinion on the strengths and weaknesses of Luxembourg. The same approach was undertaken with the entrepreneurs to have their opinion regarding the different help and support structures made available for them.
The scope of the study had to be reframed to focus solely on a typical profile. After several challenges, I chose to focus on entrepreneurs with a scalable and/or replicable project during their creation phase. Additionally, four qualities of this entrepreneurial profile have been defined. Based on these ones, evaluation grids were designed to guide my benchmarking.
Different support structures have been identified and assessed. Thanks to this comparison, suggestions for improvement have been proposed to the Chamber of Commerce. For example, to improve the skills of human resources who guide entrepreneurs, to create communities in order to gather entrepreneurs together or also to develop a favorable frame for business angels.

This study has shown that Luxembourg is on the right track and must continue to deploy many initiatives with the aim of highlighting Luxembourg's entrepreneurship sector.

An economic development model analyzes the adoption of alternative strategy capable of leveraging the economy, based essentially on RES. The combination of wind turbine, PV installation with new technology battery energy storage, DSM network and RES forecasting algorithms maximizes RES integration in isolated islands. An innovative model of power system (PS) imbalances is presented, which aims to capture various features of the stochastic behavior of imbalances and to reduce in average reserve requirements and PS risk. Deep learning techniques for medium-term wind speed and solar irradiance forecasting are presented, using for first time a specific cloud index. Scalability-replicability of the FLEXITRANSTORE technology innovations integrates hardware-software solutions in all areas of the transmission system and the wholesale markets, promoting increased RES. A deep learning and GIS approach are combined for the optimal positioning of wave energy converters. An innovative methodology to hybridize battery-based energy storage using supercapacitors for smoother power profile, a new control scheme and battery degradation mechanism and their economic viability are presented. An innovative module-level photovoltaic (PV) architecture in parallel configuration is introduced maximizing power extraction under partial shading. A new method for detecting demagnetization faults in axial flux permanent magnet synchronous wind generators is presented. The stochastic operating temperature (OT) optimization integrated with Markov Chain simulation ascertains a more accurate OT for guiding the coal gasification practice.
