# Digital Autonomy with RISC-V in Europe > Source: > Published: 2026-05-28 07:28:54+00:00 ## Latest updates ### from DARE ## Creating the next generation of processors #### Based on open source and highly adaptable tools DARE (Digital Autonomy with RISC-V in Europe) is a groundbreaking initiative driving Europe’s independence in high-performance computing and AI. By leveraging open-source technologies, DARE is **developing cutting-edge chiplet processors** — the essential building blocks for next-generation supercomputers. This effort is a critical first phase in a long-term plan to ensure **secure, efficient, and scalable computing solutions** tailored to European needs. ## A step forward for European digital capabilities #### Strengthening research, industry and innovation Supercomputing and AI are critical for scientific discovery, industry, and public services—yet Europe remains largely dependent on foreign technology. DARE addresses this gap by developing homegrown computing solutions, aimed at **reinforcing Europe’s technological sovereignty**. By fostering a self-sufficient ecosystem, DARE seeks to enhance Europe’s standing in the global tech landscape, **enabling its institutions and industries to thrive autonomously. ** By international leaders in computing #### Meet the DARE consortium and partners Coordinated by **Barcelona Supercomputing Center**, this EuroHPC-supported project gathers **38 partners** together to design and develop the RISC-V-based chiplets. DARE counts with a wide range of profiles, from** research to industry and academic institutions**, that will help ensure the efficiency, applicability and cost-effectiveness of the technologies developed.
