RISC-V Summit Europe 2026: Industry and Academia Unite in Bologna to Advance Open Hardware
RISC-V Summit Europe is coming to Bologna, Italy, with a program that reflects just how far the ecosystem has come since we gathered in Paris a year ago. Taking place June 8–12 2026 at the Palazzo dei Congressi, the summit unites members, manufacturers, researchers, public institutions, academics and students, all helping to nurture the RISC-V […] The post RISC-V Summit Europe 2026: Industry and Academia Unite in Bologna to Advance Open Hardware appeared first on EE Times .
The RISC-V Summit Europe in 2026 demonstrates the growing maturity and continental ambition of the RISC-V ecosystem, reflecting increased adoption and collaboration across industry and academia.
A robust, open-source hardware ecosystem like RISC-V provides an alternative to proprietary architectures, fostering innovation, reducing dependency, and potentially reshaping the global semiconductor supply chain dynamics.
The continued expansion and strengthening of the RISC-V community, particularly within Europe, signals a sustained effort towards diversifying semiconductor foundational intellectual property and accelerating open hardware development.
- · RISC-V International
- · European semiconductor industry
- · Academic research institutions
- · Open hardware developers
- · Proprietary CPU architectures (long term)
- · Companies reliant on single-vendor IP
Increased investment and development in RISC-V-based hardware and software solutions across Europe.
Enhanced European competitiveness in chip design and manufacturing through reduced licensing costs and greater customization.
