And of course, the very first thing is AI. You have been hearing about AI already for a couple of years. You have heard major, major announcement about AI infrastructure. I think from the very beginning in ASML, we have been a believer that AI will be a big thing.

Quotes from asml Executives About Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI
If you look at the opportunity, this has been said also before, this will drive basically advanced technology, advanced logic, advanced DRAM. This will also basically drive the entire data infrastructure.
- Christophe Fouquet
And what you see with AI is that when we look at advanced logic, when we looked at advanced memory the growth on those segments is going to be more than 20% year-on-year for the foreseeable future.
- Christophe Fouquet
The most advanced AI application are going to drive up volume. And this is why when we look at DRAM customer today, when we look at logic customer today, they are building mega fabs.
- Christophe Fouquet
So just to illustrate that, I pick one example, and I picked it from NVIDIA because all of you are, of course, very much aware of what's happening there. Today, on the black wall system, you need about 2.5 wafers to create the product. If you look at 2027 on the revenue product, this number will go up to 10 wafers. So to provide the same product to their customer, NVIDIA will need 4x more wafer than today.
- Christophe Fouquet
AI also drive very advanced technology. This drive an increased use of EUV.
- Christophe Fouquet
And one of the things we've been talking in 2025 quite a bit is the fact basically that we have seen the number of layers of EUV increasing basically at our key customer.
- Christophe Fouquet
AI is going to require very advanced chips, and this is going to drive EUV, for example.
- Christophe Fouquet
The rationale there was to get AI in ASML and to get the very best people, the very best competence in ASML in order to be able to first strengthen our core competencies, read putting AI in our product, support the connected market, to offer some of those capability to our customers and also create new opportunity basically moving forward.
