They could be built in Taiwan at first since they have the expertise then eventually they could expand the manufacturing capacity onto the European continent with newly constructed fabs.

It takes cheap labor. EU has tech. If Iโ€™m not mistaken Netherlands one of few who has capabilities to produce machines for photolithography. Question is how to make it competitive.

EU does not have the tech. Photolitography is a small part, and thats for manufacturing, not design.

IMEC already does chip design.

France has large scale high vacuum gear, Finland makes all for ALD (and I tried to sell chemicals for it, to no avail, as expected). Swiss and Germany have fine robotics for backend welding, Poland is good at making casings, Hungary and Bulgaria are good at putting this stuff together. Random shots, there is more and more, and our friends Ukraine and Israel have almost all of this themselves. Team power!

And design will just immigrate, that's the simplest part. We have some, but we'll have all of it soon probably.
