LHCb Status and Prospects

This contribution first discusses the main objectives of the LHCb experiment, the detector environment and its performances. The measurements of the $J/\Psi$, open charm and beauty production cross-sections are then reported. The progresses and prospects for few selected key measurements are finally considered: $\Phi_s$ in $B_s \to J/\Psi\Phi, B_s \to \mu\mu$ and the forward-backward asymmetry in $B^0 \to K^* \mu\mu$.
