Innovation is never a straight line. But we know that even the biggest challenge can be overcome by chipping away at it, if necessary with hundreds of people over many years. We persevere.
To accelerate our product development, we engineer in parallel what might usually happen sequentially, all the while guarding our products’ reliability, manufacturability and serviceability.
ASML Fellowship Program
Every year at the ASML Technology Conference, we recognize employees who have made remarkable contributions to the success of ASML by awarding them with the title of ASML Fellow. The ASML Fellowship Program honors technical experts who are recognized authorities in their fields, both within ASML and outside, as proven by a track record of publications and patents.

Innovation ecosystem
We don't innovate in isolation. In our 'Open Innovation' philosophy, we see ourselves as architects and integrators. This means that we develop our technology in close collaboration with our customers to ensure we build today what they need tomorrow, while we trust our supply chain to manufacture most system parts and modules. Our global network is key to our success, and we share both risk and reward. We work hard at developing long-term relationships with our partners, listening to each other and pushing each other to continuously innovate.
We innovate across our entire product portfolio at the same pace as our customers through large and sustained investment in R&D.
