Hong Kong RISC-V Alliance Established by Hong Kong Investment Association and Multiple Enterprises

Hong Kong Investment Management Limited (港投公司), together with several leading industry enterprises and institutions, jointly announced the official establishment of the Hong Kong RISC-V Alliance. Building on this foundation, the alliance will actively invite and collaborate with other stakeholders in the next phase to promote the development of the alliance, jointly constructing the RISC-V ecosystem and achieving win-win outcomes.

The alliance, centered in Hong Kong, aims to create an open, collaborative, and international RISC-V industry cooperation platform. It will fully leverage Hong Kong’s unique advantages, breaking down regional and industry barriers, and connecting global chip design companies, end-user application vendors, research institutions, investment organizations, and standardization bodies to build a collaboration network of “information exchange, resource sharing, and joint project promotion,” driving Hong Kong to become a key hub for global RISC-V industry exchange and cooperation.

Under the strategic promotion of Hong Kong Investment Management Limited, the alliance was initiated by leading companies and institutions across various segments of the industry ecosystem. Founding members include Hong Kong Investment Management Limited, SaiFang Technology, Hong Kong China Gas, China Mobile Hong Kong, Super Fusion Technology International, and Open Source International Innovation. SaiFang Technology serves as the inaugural president of the alliance.

In its initial stage, the alliance will focus on leveraging Hong Kong’s role as an international platform and application hub, including active participation in global chip technology transformation. The alliance will work together to promote four key areas: international coordination and alignment with global standards, exploration of cutting-edge technologies and application scenarios, cross-sector integration and industrial scale applications, and professional education and talent development.

Mr. Chen Jiaqi, CEO of Hong Kong Investment Management Limited, stated that with the establishment of the Hong Kong RISC-V Alliance, Hong Kong Investment Management Limited will continue to leverage its patient capital to lead the industry ecosystem’s leading enterprises, jointly building Hong Kong into a global hub for open-source chip technology R&D, talent cultivation, and application deployment. This will contribute to the country’s technological self-reliance and strength, as well as the prosperity of the global open-source ecosystem. In the next phase, the alliance will actively invite and collaborate with other stakeholders to gather wisdom and jointly build the RISC-V ecosystem.

Xu Tao, CEO of SaiFang Technology and the first president of the alliance, pointed out that the establishment of the alliance marks a new stage of industry collaboration for Hong Kong’s RISC-V ecosystem. As the inaugural president, SaiFang Technology will play a leading role, working with member organizations, Hong Kong’s research institutions, and universities, connecting global industry, academia, research, and investment resources, to establish Hong Kong as a key hub connecting Mainland China and the world, driving innovation in open-source chips.
