Former ASML CEO Peter Wennink suggests a potential silver lining to a possible Trump reelection: opportunity for Europe. Speaking at the TNW Conference, Wennink argued that a US shift towards isolationism could spur European businesses to collaborate and thrive. He believes Europe can replicate ASML's success by fostering open ecosystems. Wennink, who oversaw ASML's rise to a €250 billion valuation, sees this as a crucial moment for the continent to capitalize on a changing global landscape. He posits that Trump's policies could be the catalyst Europe needs to strengthen its own tech and economic independence.
