HUAWEI CONNECT 2020
opened today in
In 2016, Huawei
envisioned an intelligent world and called upon its partners worldwide to build
a diverse and thriving Costa Rica-like ecosystem together. In 2017, Huawei
announced its goal of becoming one of the world's five major cloud service
providers. In 2018, Huawei revealed its AI strategy, and then in 2019 its
computing strategy.
In 2020, as 5G has
been rolled out at scale worldwide, connectivity, cloud, AI, computing, and
industry applications have all come together to create unprecedented
opportunities for the ICT sector. Therefore, the focus of this year's HUAWEI
CONNECT is: Creating new value with synergy across five tech domains.
Moving forward, Huawei will focus on applying ICT technologies to industries and providing scenario-specific solutions along with its partners to help enterprises grow their businesses and help governments achieve their strategic goals of boosting domestic industry, benefiting their constituents, and improving overall governance.
Guo Ping delivers a keynote speech
At the event, Huawei Rotating Chairman Guo Ping
delivered a keynote speech, titled "Creating New Value with Synergy Across
Five Tech Domains". Guo said, "As more and more governments
and enterprises go digital and embrace intelligence, the ICT sector will see
incredible potential for growth. We look forward to opening this new chapter
together with our partners."
Guo
shared Huawei's leading practices in helping build smart enterprises, campuses,
and cities, by integrating ICT technology with industry know-how and providing
scenario-specific solutions to create value for governments and enterprises in
regard to their major business systems. In the next phase, Huawei will work
with its partners to apply ICT technologies to industries, helping enterprises
grow their businesses and helping governments achieve their strategic goals of
boosting domestic industry, benefiting their constituents, and improving
overall governance.
Huawei will keep
investing in the following key business domains.
In the network domain,
Huawei has proposed the concept of intelligent connectivity, aiming to deliver
a hyper-automated network that offers ubiquitous gigabit access and a
deterministic experience, and to enable intelligent upgrades of major business
systems of governments and enterprises.
In the computing domain,
Huawei is committed to providing diverse computing power to customers,
decoupling software from hardware to adapt its compute to different processing
needs, including x86 and Kunpeng.
In the cloud service
domain, Huawei has established 23 regions worldwide, attracting over 1.5
million developers.
In the AI domain,
Huawei aims to better integrate AI into the major business systems of
governments and enterprises, using know-how and data to build the core
competency of AI systems.
Connectivity,
computing, cloud, and AI are a lot like electricity 100 years ago, whereas
industry applications are like home appliances and industrial equipment powered
by electricity.
Huawei believes that
synergy across these five tech domains will not only bring Huawei
opportunities. More importantly, they will present opportunities for the entire
sector. Huawei hopes to grow the whole pie with its partners, enabling them to
reap the most benefits from the new value chain.
Guo looked back on the
three principles he proposed in 2016 for building a diverse and thriving Costa
Rica-like ecosystem. He also shared three examples of how Huawei has helped
three of its partners grow their business: Tech Education, Cooler Master, and
CS&S. Guo noted that Huawei will continuously support its partners in their
efforts to develop industry applications, boost the supply chain, and grow
their own industries.
The mayor of Shenzhen,
Mr. Chen Rugui, also spoke at the event. "Shenzhen is making the most of
opportunities brought by ongoing development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao
Greater Bay Area and the Shenzhen pilot demonstration area," he said.
"We are striving to raise the bar for great cities around the world. By
leveraging advanced technologies from Huawei and other tech companies, our city
is growing smarter by the day as we build the Shenzhen Intelligent Twins. We
will seize new opportunities brought about by 5G, enhance 5G adoption in more
scenarios, promote the Industrial Internet, drive vertical interconnectivity,
and support the digital transformation of SMEs. Shenzhen aims to set the gold
standard for
