Today, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima spent their last day in Luxembourg with Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa.
The King and Queen of the Netherlands and the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess visited Neobuild SA. They were welcomed by Environment Minister Carole Dieschbourg and Neobuild SA President Roland Kuhn. As the first technological innovation pole for sustainable construction in the country, Neobuild SA aims to facilitate technological innovation and support Luxembourg companies active in this sector. The company uses, among other things, new materials, construction processes, renewable energies and certification systems. After a brief presentation of the company, the royal couple and the grand ducal couple also learned about the other entities such as Southern Water Union (SES), Contern SA, Paintings Robin SA and Digital Inclusion.
King Willem-Alexander, Queen Maxima, Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa then visited the CFL Multimodal, located on the Eurohub South site. They took part in a guided tour of the terminal where a demonstration took place and where they learned about the railway-highway.
Afterward, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima attended a reception with the Dutch community living in Luxembourg.
