sEPTEMBER 2026

This month, EDC dove into the data from Q2 2026 to explore what investment and employment trends might mean for the future of the region. We also explored how ASML works towards building an #inclusiveSD and the key occupations and skills regional employers are hiring for.

Here’s what we accomplished this month, with and through our investors and partners.
