Whom to invite in

After Intel Magdeburg's cancellation in July 2025, a realistic conclusion has to be accepted: the United States will not be the source of new manufacturing capital for European fabs in 2026–2028. They remain a critical partner — in regulatory cooperation, defense, research, x86 architecture, AI models, hyperscale cloud, and security — but the capital for new manufacturing capacity in Europe must come from elsewhere.
