RISC-V International is a non-profit organization that maintains the RISC-V open standard ISA, its related specifications, and the community of stakeholders around it. It coordinates a global network of members spanning many countries, with thousands contributing to the ongoing development and governance of open specifications and related interest groups. The organization advocates a modular technical approach paired with an open, royalty-free license model that allows broad access to IP contributed by the community. This framework supports shared investment, faster creation, greater design freedom, and lower costs of innovation for participants in the hardware ecosystem. Based in Zürich, Switzerland, the group operates as a mid-sized entity focused on standards coordination, ecosystem engagement, and community activities. A notable recent development is the May 2026 launch of the RISC-V Ratified Specifications Library, which centralizes ratified specifications in a single accessible repository.
