Today, over 40 billion connected devices are in use worldwide. In fact, you’re probably reading this on one of them. By 2030, the number of devices is expected to grow to around 350 billion – with every swipe, click and connection depending on a microchip.
We’re the world’s top supplier of lithography systems. All the world’s major chipmakers rely on ASML systems to mass-produce microchips with increasing functionality, performance and energy efficiency while reducing their size. Known as ‘affordable shrink’, this means we can all do more things, faster and more conveniently than ever before.
Creating smaller and smaller patterns on silicon to deliver a bigger and bigger impact is a well-established trend in the chip industry. And thanks to the commitment to innovation of our 39,000 employees, there’s a lot more to come.
Our teams are continuously pushing the boundaries of physics and shaping the future of life, work and play – helping our customers innovate the technologies that can help humanity manage challenges and seize opportunities by facilitating smart living and mobility, accessible healthcare, food security and the transition to renewable energy.
