won the title of "2025 Zhangjiang High-tech New Partner" this time, marking that the Innovation Center and Zhangjiang High-tech will join hands to start the construction of RISC-V industrial ecology. At present, the innovation center is actively cooperating with all parties in the industrial chain to jointly build key common platforms, create an open source software ecology with open hardware, and promote the innovation and development of the RISC-V industry. At the same time, the Innovation Center is working closely with top domestic universities to build a training practice base to lay a solid talent foundation for the sustainable development of the RISC-V industry.

in the future, the Shanghai Open Processor Industry Innovation Center will make full use of the advantages of Shanghai's international innovation synergy and the advantages of integrated circuit industry clusters, and work closely with upstream and downstream enterprises, universities and scientific research institutes in the RISC-V industry chain to promote China to become a RISC-V The leader in technological innovation and application.

ABOUT SOPIC

Established in September 2024 in Zhangjiang, Pudong, Shanghai, the Shanghai Open Processor Industry Innovation Center (SOPIC) is headquartered on the 15th floor of Building 1, Chuangxin Tiandi, No. 52 Jichuang Road. As a non-profit organization, it was co-founded by leading domestic semiconductor design companies including VeriSilicon, Nuclei Technology, and DAMO Academy (Shanghai).

SOPIC serves as an industrial nexus bringing together RISC-V ecosystem stakeholders, including chip designers, IP vendors, system integrators, software developers, OEMs, and top-tier research institutions, to co-develop critical generic technology platforms. By fostering open hardware architecture to accelerate open-source software ecosystems, the center drives the industrialization and commercial deployment of RISC-V technologies.

Complementing its technical mission, SOPIC partners with China's leading universities through three integrated channels: co-developing RISC-V-specific curricula, establishing joint research laboratories, and creating applied training centers. This tripartite approach systematically cultivates professionals with cross-functional RISC-V expertise, ensuring a sustainable talent pipeline to power the ecosystem's evolution.
