The inaugural RISC-V Global Ecosystem Forum, hosted by the Hong Kong Institute of Science & Innovation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and co-organized by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and the Institute of Software Chinese Academy of Sciences, was successfully held on 26 November. The forum covered cutting-edge topics, including compilers and foundational software, artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing, open-source EDA, and community governance, attracting leading enterprises, research institutions, and open-source communities from around the world.
The event featured keynote speeches by renowned scholars and industry leaders on the global RISC-V community development, AI computing ecosystems, and industrial-grade open-source core development, providing valuable insights for advancing RISC-V+AI integration and ecosystem growth.
To foster research collaboration and talent development, PolyU signed a strategic agreement with the Beijing Institute of Open Source Chip, and the Hong Kong Institute of Science & Innovation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, to establish the “One Student One Chip” Hong Kong Base Co-construction Initiative, creating an international platform for industry-academia-research integration.
This initiative was jointly launched by the School of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Beijing Institute of Open Source Chip. Upholding the core principle of “enabling students to graduate with a processor chip they designed themselves,” the program combines theoretical and practical teaching to lower barriers to chip design and nurture top-tier talent in computer systems, with over 15,000 students from over 1,000 schools worldwide already enrolled.
