CEA and Inria are pleased to invite you to their private event alongside the 2025 European RISC-V Summit.
RISC-V is fostering industrial independence and sovereignty, driven by its open source community and strong network of contributors. Our goal? Stimulate discussions on autonomy, industrial independence, and sovereignty bringing together current and future key players of the French and European RISC-V ecosystem.
Register and join us to find out how you can build partnerships, contribute, and benefit from a robust and sustainable open hardware community.
WELCOME

KEYNOTE
Open source for strategic autonomy: new practices for a world in transformation
Against a backdrop of reaffirmed state sovereignty and growing international tensions, mastery of digital technologies is an essential issue that governments and decision-makers are gradually becoming aware of. In this context, open source is a software production methodology that represents a concrete, and in many cases already operational, response to the need for technological independence. This presentation will review the specific features of open source software and hardware, its benefits for technological independence and its advantages in the specific case of RISC-V. We’ll also look at the conditions for deploying and maintaining this ecosystem.
