SiFive Fosters RISC-V Collaboration and Education in India and Bangladesh Via Symposiums, Tutorials and Workshops

Last year we hosted several SiFive Tech Symposiums in India to help promulgate the RISC-V ecosystem in the region. The enthusiastic reception from those in industry as well as students and faculty at India’s most esteemed universities was inspiring. This July and August, we’re bringing the SiFive Tech Symposium back to India, and also visiting Bangladesh. Our goal remains to foster the RISC-V ecosystem and to help prepare university students for entry into a workforce where RISC-V is heavily utilized. We have industry-centric symposiums planned in New Delhi/Noida, Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad; and university-centric tutorials and workshops planned for Chennai, and Dhaka in Bangladesh. Attendance at all events is free, but registration is required. Here is a glimpse of what’s happening in each city. You can also visit the https://sifivetechsymposium.com to learn more about these and other SiFive Tech Symposiums being held throughout the world.
