DeepComputing Launches Global RISC-V Support Programs to Accelerate Open Innovation

New initiative empowers schools, universities, open-source projects, and AI startups worldwide with RISC-V hardware and ecosystem support

DeepComputing, a global leader in RISC-V innovations, today announced the official launch of its RISC-V Support Programs, a comprehensive initiative designed to accelerate RISC-V adoption and innovation across education, open-source, and AI industries. The announcement coincides with the RISC-V Summit North America 2025.

The RISC-V Support Program provides hardware, software, and ecosystem support to schools, universities, open-source projects, and AI startups worldwide. Collaborating closely with ecosystem partners including RISC-V International, Framework, and MetaComputing, DeepComputing’s goal is clear — to make RISC-V accessible, sustainable, and impactful for the next generation of developers, educators, and entrepreneurs.

As part of this initiative, DeepComputing is officially launching the “100 Schools & Universities” program at the RISC-V Summit North America, while the “100 Open Source Projects” and “100 AI Startups” programs will follow soon.

Program Highlights

• 100 Schools & Universities DeepComputing provides RISC-V laptops, mainboards, and developer resources to students and educators, inspiring learning, research, and innovation in computer science and engineering.
• 100 Open Source Projects DeepComputing supports open-source communities with RISC-V hardware, testing environments, and collaboration opportunities to drive upstream contributions and ecosystem growth.
• 100 AI Startups DeepComputing partners with AI startups by offering early access to RISC-V AI workstations, servers, technical support, and co-marketing opportunities—helping build scalable, open, and sustainable AI solutions.

The RISC-V Support Programs are part of DeepComputing’s broader commitment to building an open, modular, and developer-first computing ecosystem. A few institutions have already joined the program, including the student club from Politecnico di Torino, SemitoV, and Zhongyuan High School — with more to come!
