The FDI Screening law will apply to foreign investors who want to acquire control of Luxembourg entities operating in critical activities in Luxembourg.Under the new regime, foreign investors will have to notify the Ministry of Economy in advance of their planned investment and may be subject to a screening procedure, depending on the potential impact of the investment on the security or public order of Luxembourg. The screening procedure will apply to any contemplated investment that meets the following three conditions:* it is made by a non-EEA investor (individual or legal entity) (the Foreign Investor);* it is made in a Luxembourg entity that performs critical activities within the territory of Luxembourg (the Luxembourg Target); and* it gives the Foreign Investor effective control of the Luxembourg Target.Critical activities include the production, exploitation, and sale of dual-use goods, operations in various sectors like energy, transport, health, AI, cybersecurity, aerospace, defense, water, telecommunications  and food safety.The FDI Screening Law does not screen Foreign Investors who only buy securities without taking control or holding companies without critical activities.
