After Peter Wenink has controlled the Dutch chip giant ASML into Europe's most valuable technology company, he is now concentrating on the next borders of Deep Tech.
Wenink was already involved in numerous breakthroughs in the field. During his 25-year career at ASML-inch, the company lay the basics for countless deep tech innovations as CEO.
Under his leadership, the company earned itself as the sole supplier and producer of extreme ultraviolets (EUV) lithography machines.
These systems are essential for the production of the most advanced chips in the world. They have become a crucial force in today's AI boom and support everything from chatt to brain computer interfaces.

ASML has also extended the lifespan of Moore's law – the observation that transistors on chips double every two years. This exponential growth has fueled breakthroughs that once seemed unimaginably. The next progress, Wenink believes, are even more difficult to order.
“It is difficult for mankind to fore the effects of exponentiality because it often delivers something seemingly impossible,” he told TNW. “But that's exactly what science and deep tech will create, which will make it possible.”
At TNW conference In Amsterdam, Wenink will share his vision of a new era of innovation on June 20.
The future of deep tech
In an exclusive session entitled Gods of Industry: The Battle for Deep Tech Dominance, Wenink will enter the stage alongside Young Soh, another digital visionary. Hohn was formerly President and Chief Strategy Officer from Samsung Electronic, and is now a founding manager at Walden Catalyst Ventures, a VC Fonds who is dedicated to Deep Tech.
Together the duo will unpack the next decade of the innovations. Your findings will illuminate a light in the next era of the Tech executives.
Asml became one of these leaders during Wennink's term. The company's machines still produce the chips for all types of advanced device, from iPhones to self -driving cars.
ASML also supported the broader deep tech ecosystem. The company supported Deeptechxl, a Dutch fund that brought in EUR 110 million last year, and was deeply involved in Brainport Eindhoven. Which WINink calls the deep tech “probably unique” in the world.
Wenink has remained a key figure in the field since ASML's resignation last year. He believes that the next wave of Deep Tech will unlock possibilities that are difficult to imagine. You may require challenging ways from laboratory to market, deep domain expertise and patient capital – but the payments will be really transformative. At the TNW conference, Wenwick will get an insight into what comes next.
