Luxembourg National Data Service (LNDS) is an organisation created by the Luxembourg Government to implement Luxembourg's strategies in research, innovation, and digitalisation. LNDS enables value creation from secondary use of data for public and private partners, supporting the sharing and reuse of public sector data in a trustworthy manner. The organisation operates as a brand of PNED G.I.E., an economic interest group established by the Luxembourg government and public institutes, providing free services to facilitate data project development and implementation.

LNDS specialises in data management, data governance, and the facilitation of secondary data use across multiple sectors including health, environment, nature protection, and public administration. The company supports organisations in building data inventories, developing data spaces, and implementing federated, decentralised data architectures. LNDS works closely with data users, data providers, and authorities to facilitate data access requests and enable evidence-based decision-making across public institutions and commercial enterprises seeking to leverage public sector data.

Based in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, LNDS serves the Luxembourg data ecosystem and collaborates with organisations across the European Union. The company operates through its Service Desk portal, offering data project consulting, onboarding services, and ongoing support to guide partners through data sharing initiatives. LNDS distinguishes itself through its commitment to trustworthy data governance, its role in developing the Luxembourg National Data Catalogue, and its support for Common European Data Spaces initiatives, making it the central resource for organisations seeking to participate in Luxembourg's data economy.
