"The potential development of ASML at BIC North will have a positive influence on the region as a center for the European high-tech industry. It will likely lead to significant job growth in all 21 Brainport municipalities and beyond, with direct and indirect suppliers and other producers and service providers. In addition to the support by the Dutch caretaker government, the business community – in which ASML will play a leading role – will contribute significantly to social investments to ensure sustainable and balanced growth," adds the spokesperson.
