Strengthening European Sovereignty through Open HW: Insights from the RISC-V Summit Europe
At the recent RISC-V Summit Europe in Paris, Florian Wohlrab took the stage to present how the TRISTAN and ISOLDE projects are actively contributing to the growing RISC-V ecosystem, particularly through their alignment with the RISV-C initiative.
The presentation highlighted how these collaborative European efforts are not only pushing the boundaries of open hardware but also enabling SMEs across the continent to develop sovereign, high-performance computing solutions using RISC-V technology. By fostering innovation through projects like TRISTAN and ISOLDE, the European Union is laying the groundwork for a robust, self-reliant digital infrastructure.
Several companies involved in these projects were showcased, each demonstrating their unique contributions to the shared vision of open, secure, and competitive computing platforms. This reflects a broader commitment within the EU to support technological independence while still embracing global standards and communities like RISC-V International.
