does TSMC own any valuable tech? I thought they just purchase the machines from ASML, a dutch company. if there is market for chips, why doesn't some EU company set up a foundry in EU? I'm sure there are many capable companies and the lithography tech is already made in EU.

EUV machines are a small but critical part of overall 7nm and lower fabrication.
