As we count down to our Inaugural Launch Meeting, we are thrilled to introduce the leaders stepping up to guide and anchor the Ottawa tech community. Our featured speakers are coming to help you navigate the open-source landscape, match your personal engineering interests with the best resources available, and show you where RISC-V fit into the future of silicon.
On 16 June 2026 (16:00–17:00 CEST), the European Open Source Academy (EOSA) will host the webinar “Open Source Hardware Ecosystem: A Holistic View of the Community”, bringing together leading voices from the European open hardware landscape.
At OCX 2026, the Eclipse Foundation highlighted the growing role of open source in embedded and IoT development, with Eclipse ThreadX and RISC-V at the center of the conversation.
See OpenHW Foundation at Latch-Up on Friday to Sunday May 1–3, 2026 in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The Latch-Up conference is a weekend of presentations and networking dedicated to free and open source silicon. It’s an event for the open source digital design community, much like its European sister conference ORConf, run by the FOSSi Foundation.
Join the OpenHW Foundation and Eclipse Foundation at “OpenChain and Friends” is an in-person community event focused on open source software supply chain management, compliance, and collaboration. It’s organized by the OpenChain Project in partnership with local and international communities, such as The FOSS-LÄND Community. The event takes place in Stuttgart, Germany and gathers people working with open source across different industries.
Florian Wohlrab, Head of OpenHW Foundation presents a talk “Enabling Open Source RISC-V Designs For Commercial Use” as part of EFCL Seminar series at ETH Zurich.
The OpenHW Foundation, a global leader in developing RISC-V core IP, today announced the launch of the Unified RISC-V IP Access Platform (UAP) as part of the TRISTAN project. The UAP represents Europe’s first comprehensive collection of industry-ready RISC-V components. As interest in digital sovereignty continues to grow, particularly within the European Union, the UAP makes it significantly easier for technology organisations to innovate based on an open, sovereign foundation.
