I doubt the relocation: they just announced a new production site with 20.000 job openings in the next 3 years around Eindhoven.

I'm sure the French would love it, though. I always thought ASML would open a R&D facility in France or so to court the French government.

Guess this is it.

I agree that a relocation might not happen, but the increasing Frenchification of ASML after their CEO became French does smell a little off.
Are Google and Microsoft “Indianified” because their CEOs are from India?
I think you misread my comment. Did the CEOs of Google or Microsoft hire former ministers from India as strategic advisors, or make unprecedented and eyebrow-raising investments in Indian startups?
There is not enough power in the region to facilitate ASML demand. Rumors of dc's opening in France instead.
