ASML to sell no chipmaking equipment in Europe in 2026

Reports circulating in German-speaking tech and policy circles claim that ASML, the Dutch maker of the world's most advanced lithography machines, expects to sell no equipment in Europe in 2026. Commentators warn this means the continent is falling behind in leading-edge chip manufacturing and see it as a setback for European tech sovereignty debates.
Why now: It feeds ongoing European concerns about dependence on foreign chip production and the continent's lack of cutting-edge fabrication capacity.
