Luxembourg
Luxembourg is a country of under 700,000 that operates like a world capital. SES runs one of the largest satellite fleets in orbit, and a 2017 space-resources law made the Grand Duchy Europe's legal home for the space economy. The financial centre is one of the world's largest hubs for investment funds, with a fintech scene to match.
Steel built the place: ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steelmaker outside China, keeps its headquarters here. RTL Group broadcasts across the continent, and Luxair connects it.
