RISC-V at embedded world brings the open instruction-set community to embedded world 2027, Europe's leading trade fair for embedded-systems engineering, running 16-18 March 2027 at NürnbergMesse in Nuremberg, Germany. Organized by RISC-V International, the program centres on the association's booth in Hall 5, Stand 5-119, where member companies co-exhibit to demonstrate silicon, boards, toolchains and software built on the royalty-free RISC-V architecture. The showcase runs under the theme of leading the era of open computing, highlighting open collaboration across the ecosystem, freedom of design across domains and industries, and the growing strategic role of RISC-V in the semiconductor supply chain. Because it sits inside the wider embedded world exhibition, visitors can combine the RISC-V stand with thousands of other embedded hardware and software exhibitors in the adjoining halls. For engineers, architects and product teams evaluating open hardware, the three days offer direct conversations with RISC-V members, side-by-side comparisons of commercial and open-source implementations, and a compact view of how far the ecosystem has matured. It is a practical checkpoint for anyone planning designs on an open ISA.

RISC-V at embedded world runs 16-18 March 2027 inside the NürnbergMesse exhibition grounds, southeast of Nuremberg's centre by the Dutzendteich lakes. Mid-March here is the tail end of winter: expect 3-10°C, grey mornings and the occasional bright, crisp afternoon, so pack a proper coat for the walk from the U-Bahn. The payoff for open-hardware folks is sharing halls with the wider embedded world crowd - silicon vendors, toolchain teams and board makers all within a few minutes' walk.
Fly into Nuremberg Airport (NUE), compact and only 15-20 minutes from the action: take the U2 metro to the main station (Hauptbahnhof), then change to the U1 toward Langwasser and get off at Messe - the station exits almost directly into the exhibition entrance. Door to door is usually 30-40 minutes. Frankfurt (FRA) and Munich (MUC) offer far more intercontinental routes, each about two hours away by direct ICE train to Nuremberg Hauptbahnhof.

German exhibition halls are notorious for overloaded conference Wi-Fi during big trade weeks, and demo tables full of dev boards deserve better. A local eSIM with a generous data allowance keeps your hotspot, repos and CI pipelines reachable from hall floor to hotel. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds. A ten-minute walk from the Messe across the Dutzendteich park, this sober museum inside the unfinished Congress Hall examines how Nuremberg became the stage for Nazi rallies. The permanent exhibition takes 90 minutes to two hours; go the evening the halls close early or budget a pre-flight morning. Tickets on Tiqets →
DB Railway Museum. Germany's oldest railway museum, near the Hauptbahnhof on your U1 route back to town, is a natural fit for an engineering crowd: original 19th-century locomotives, a royal train and good signalling exhibits. An hour is enough for the highlights; it closes at 17:00, so slot it before the evening meetups.
Kaiserburg (Imperial Castle). Crowning the old town's northern edge, the Kaiserburg rewards the uphill walk with the best view over Nuremberg's red roofs. In March the courtyards are blissfully uncrowded. The double chapel and deep well tour are the highlights; allow about 90 minutes, then descend into the Weissgerbergasse lanes for photos.
Handwerkerhof and the old town walls. If a packed demo schedule leaves you one spare hour, the craftsmen's courtyard tucked into the city wall opposite the Hauptbahnhof condenses Franconian Nuremberg - timber-framed workshops, bratwurst kitchens and gingerbread - into a compact, walkable stop on the way to your train or hotel.
How do I get from Nuremberg Airport to the NürnbergMesse exhibition grounds?
Take the U2 from the airport to Hauptbahnhof and change to the U1 toward Langwasser, alighting at Messe. The whole journey takes 30-40 minutes and a single VGN ticket covers both legs.
What is the weather like in Nuremberg in mid-March?
Cool and changeable: daytime highs around 8-10°C, nights near freezing, with a mix of grey drizzle and bright spells. Bring a warm jacket and shoes comfortable for long exhibition-hall days.
Do I need a car for the event week?
No. The U1 metro links the Messe, the main station and the old town every few minutes, and hotels near Hauptbahnhof put restaurants and evening side events within walking distance.
