Switzerland is at the centre of a quiet rebellion in chip design
Mar. 30, 2026 –
RISC-V offers an open-source alternative to Intel and ARM chip architectures, aiming to reduce global dependence on proprietary designs.
A Swiss-based open-source technology is quietly challenging the semiconductor industry’s concentration of power, in which most of the world’s digital devices depend on instruction set architectures licensed by just two companies: Intel in the US and ARM in the UK.
The RISC-V International Association, headquartered in Zurich since 2020, maintains an open-source alternative that allows chip designers to build without paying licensing fees or seeking permission from governments that control proprietary architectures.
