The open standard RISC-V instruction set architecture is rapidly expanding its global footprint, with China emerging as a significant force in its development and adoption. The upcoming RISC-V Summit China 2025 in Shanghai underscores the nation’s burgeoning contributions to the ecosystem.
Andrea Gallo, CEO of RISC-V International, speaking in an interview with EE Times, remarked on the consistent global maturity of RISC-V, stating, “wherever we go in the world, we see the same level of maturity in adopting RISC-V, in working with RISC-V, the same level of technical expertise and contribution.”
This observation, Gallo noted, aligns with the philosophy articulated by Calista Redmond, the former CEO of RISC-V International, to “invest locally and engage globally.” Gallo highlighted the parallelism seen across geographies, including Brazil, where thousands of students are reportedly building AI products based on RISC-V, affirming that he does not “see any differences across geographies and that is an incredible message to me.”
