Take back control with RISC-V

The current trend in Open-Source Hardware in general, and RISC-V in particular, offer a tremendous opportunity for the European industries to take back control on the computing architectures at the core of their products, and tailor them for specific needs. Let’s explore together the implications, opportunities and perspectives of this major evolution in the computing domain.
