Beijing, April 16, 2025 — The RISC-V Talent Training Specification Workshop, organized by the Beijing Institute of Open Source Chip (BOSC) was convened. The workshop brought together over 40 experts from Premier Members of the RISC-V International (RVI), including Beijing Institute of Open Source Chip, Institute of Software of Chinese Academy of Sciences, ESWIN Computing, and Stream Computing, as well as prominent Chinese enterprises, research institutions, and universities.
According to several market analysis reports from the SHD Group, China is a significant market for RISC-V and is predicted to account for a quarter of the global RISC-V revenues by 2030. Workshop attendees all agree that talents are the foundation for advancing the global RISC-V ecosystem. Chinese organizations have been actively contributing to the RISC-V ecosystem. Notably, multiple Chinese RVI members actively participated in development of the RISC-V Foundational Associate (RVFA) certification program launched by RVI in 2022. Participants fully recognize the value of the RVFA program and believe that it will provide practical references to further promote the development and application of RISC-V-related courses.
“RISC-V represents a breakthrough in technological innovation, and talent development is the catalyst for industrial scalability. This involves a large number of stakeholders across the ecosystem, and we look forward to cultivating potential high-quality talents for the whole RISC-V industry.” emphasized by Prof. Yungang Bao, the Chief Scientist of BOSC.
In China, numerous organizations, ranging from startups to tech leaders, are engaged in RISC-V-related R&D and ecosystem, and have achieved remarkable progress in RISC-V chip design, manufacturing, and application. Chinese organizations will actively collaborate with RVI to promote a series of talent development initiatives, such as establishing training specifications, setting up laboratories and training bases, and enhancing cooperation on course development. These efforts will help mitigate talent shortage and provide talent support for the sustainable development of the global RISC-V industry and ecosystem.
