Based on the theory of the innovation ecosystem and the case study of the ASML company, this paper explores the relationship between the development of the knowledge-intensive industry and the construction of the innovation ecosystem, and analyzes the construction path and the characteristics of the innovation ecosystem. The successful experience of the ASML innovation ecosystem construction involves the network collaboration based on the knowledge management, the innovation collaboration based on the "roadmap" and the leading role based on the core enterprise. ASML, as the core enterprise of the lithography equipment industry, guides the construction of the innovation ecosystem, including the suppliers, the universities and the research institutions according to the roadmap, leading the development trend of the industry and forming an innovation network system based on the collaboration. The construction framework of this innovation ecosystem plays a practical guiding role and has a reference significance for the ecological construction of the regional industrial innovation in China and for enhancing the innovation ability of enterprises.
