"If we are to continuously accelerate innovation, we must consistently and intentionally accelerate inclusion."
This was the message I delivered to the ASML Female Network Tech Talk audience on November 11th. ASML is fulfilling its purpose of “unlocking the potential of people and society by pushing technology to new limits”! This event gave many ASML employees of all genders the opportunity to surface and acknowledge inclusion and empowerment barriers and then educate themselves on how to dismantle them to build a more inclusive workplace.
ASML is one of the world’s leading providers of lithography systems for the semiconductor industry, manufacturing complex machines that are critical to the production of integrated circuits or microchips. Headquartered in Veldhoven, the Netherlands, ASML designs, develops, integrates, markets and services these advanced systems, which continue to help our customers – the major chipmakers – reduce the size and increase the functionality of microchips, and consumer electronic equipment.
