On November 29, Academician Ni Guangnan of the Chinese Academy of Engineering，and Zhang Wenjie, Deputy Director of the National Innovation Center of Intelligent and Connected Vehicles, visited WUQI Shanghai R&D Center for inspection and guidance. Dr. Zheng Jiansheng, Chairman of WUQI, CTO Lin Hao, and other leaders warmly welcomed the delegation. Both sides had extensive and in-depth discussions on the RISC-V industrial ecology application and related cooperative opportunities.
During the discussion, Chairman Zheng Jiansheng introduced the company's development and the layout of the full range of RISC-V chips, and reported in detail WUQI's technological innovation, ecological applications and market coverage in the fields of short-range communications and edge computing SoC chips. Regarding WUQI star products such as 3D face recognition chips and 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 chips, which Academician Ni Guangnan is more concerned about, CTO Lin Hao focused on the company's advantages in the industry chain from multiple dimensions such as technology implementation and real-world application.
After thoroughly understanding the company’s development, Academician Ni Guangnan fully acknowledged WUQI for their efforts in product innovation and promoting the development of the industry in the RISC-V field. Both parties engaged in in-depth discussions surrounding the company’s key technologies, application expansion, potential collaborations, and promotion of a variety of products, including the PLC chip, data transmission Wi-Fi 6 chip, and 3D edge computing die. Deputy Director Zhang Wenjie specifically shared the application prospects of RISC-V in the automotive industry, encouraging WUQI to actively explore the automotive-grade chip market and contribute WUQI solutions to the ecosystem for automotive industry applications.
Chairman Zheng Jiansheng conveyed a hope that Academician Ni Guangnan and Deputy Director Zhang Wenjie would provide more support to emerging domestic semiconductor enterprises like WUQI in terms of related industrial cooperation and promotion, so as to achieve more resource introduction and industrial platform empowerment.This support would facilitate deeper involvement in the development of the RISC-V industry and advancing self-reliance for key domestic technologies.
It is worth mentioning that the in-depth development of the open source RISC-V industrial ecosystem will help us realize self-reliance in key technology areas. As an important advocate of open-source RISC-V architecture to develop China's chip industry, Academician Ni Guangnan has been devoted to the promotion and practice of RISC-V open-source architecture in recent years, and calls on more Chinese industries to join hands with the world in promoting the development and prosperity of RISC-V.
