Message from RISC-V International
As we look back on 2023, we wanted to express our gratitude to the entire RISC-V ecosystem. Throughout the year, we witnessed groundbreaking developments, new product deployments, and technical achievements from this talented community. The explosive momentum of RISC-V was apparent across markets, such as automotive, data centers, embedded, AI/ML, dev tools, software stacks, mobile, security, and more!
Here are a few RISC-V highlights from this year:
- Meta launched its first-generation AI inference accelerator, based on the RISC-V open ISA.
- Qualcomm and Google are collaborating to bring a RISC-V based wearables solution for use with Wear OS by Google.
- Google, Imagination Technologies, Nvidia, Qualcomm, SiFive and others launched the RISE Project, a collaborative effort to bring together global industry leaders committed to accelerating the availability of software for high-performance and power-efficient RISC-V cores.
Some of the accomplishments and highlights from the past year are included in our 2023 recap, click here.
At the recent RISC-V Summit North America, the global RISC-V community came together to demonstrate the power and continued adoption of RISC-V, and showcase the latest RISC-V products and solutions. You can watch the Summit sessions on our YouTube channel here.
RISC-V has welcomed a new era of scalability and flexibility, granting unprecedented opportunities to global companies, foundries, research institutions, developers, and more. As we look forward to 2024, we are eager to continue collaborating with the entire ecosystem to help drive innovation.
Happy holidays and happy new year!
Best,
Calista Redmond
CEO, RISC-V International

Upcoming RISC-V Events
embedded world (April 9-11, Nuremberg, Germany) – The world again turns its attention to embedded systems next April, and a presence at the RISC-V Pavilion is the key to making the most of the event. We are offering sponsorship with packages including both demonstration kiosks and speaking opportunities in our on-stand demo theater. You’ll be alongside the best and the brightest of the RISC-V movement, with access to over 20,000 high-quality attendees expected at the event. Contact Andy Moore (andy@riscv.org) to find out more.
RISC-V Summit Europe (June 24-28, Munich, Germany) – RISC-V Summit Europe is the premier event that connects the European movers and shakers – from industry, government, research, academia and ecosystem support – that are building the future of innovation on RISC-V. The combination of strong industrial and academic communities is key to the success of RISC-V in Europe, and for this reason the conference is designed to help attendees to explore both commercial and research applications.
Save the date! Registration and sponsorships will open soon.
The call for proposals for Open Source Summit North America, the premier gathering place for open source code and community contributors, taking place April 16-18 in Seattle, Washington, is open and accepting submissions.
To submit an event or webinar to be posted on the website, use the event submission request form on the RISC-V events page.
