ASML is already a good industry leader in it's field of expertise, expanding into other areas like green technologies and defence (lots of finances being freed up for that currently) will be very beneficial. I just read France has found an enormous amount of naturally occurring Hydrogen. Hydrogen powered cars would also be a good area for scientific research. And of course, genetics and medicine in general, the Netherlands started vaccinating poultry against bird flu last month in a world exclusive trial.

Hydrogen could replace fossil gas in the near term for firm fossil generation, makes it even easier for Europe to disconnect from Russia for energy.

That would be nice. I've always wondered why it's so hard to harvest excess solar power as hydrogen gas by electrolysis, from what I understand the process is pretty inefficient. That would also be a good area for research.
