Doha: Huawei welcomed high-level customer visits on Day 1 of Gitex Global 2022, where they explored the company’s wide range of innovations on 5G, paving the way to 5.5G, cloud-native 2.0 architectures, AI, digital power, cybersecurity, and industry applications, designed to meet the needs of various verticals including government, utilities, oil and gas, transportation and finance. These solutions and technological advances create new economic value by addressing national digital transformation goals and enabling a green and intelligent society toward the net-zero target. 

Under the theme of “Unleash Digital”, Huawei marks its largest-ever participation at GITEX this year, demonstrating its commitment to the regional and global technology ecosystem. As the Diamond Sponsor of the event, Huawei renews support to the region’s leading ICT showcase.  

Steven Yi, Huawei Middle East and Africa President 

Steven Yi, Huawei Middle East and Africa President said: “We welcome visitors to our stand to experience our world-leading end-to-end solutions that address diverse ICT needs of our public and private sector customers. As competition heats up, we recognise customers’ challenges as they pursue their business transformation goals. Our technologies and expertise in various domains ease the digital transformation journeys of our customers, allowing them to unleash innovation and business growth”.    

Huawei believes the biggest value it can bring to advance the green agenda is to use continuous technology innovation to help all industries enhance ICT infrastructure energy efficiency and achieve low-carbon development. Huawei’s vision is to integrate digital and power electronics technologies, develop green power, and enable energy digitalisation for a better, greener future.

In Cloud, Huawei is showcasing its Everything-as-a-Service model that envisions a future where all infrastructure and applications will be cloud-based. At the booth, guests can also explore how cloud native 2.0 architectures can be incorporated into industry solutions in government and enterprises, boosting the cloud ecosystem in the Middle East through more open collaborations and leading to innovation and digitalisation.

In cybersecurity, Huawei reiterates the importance of a secure-by-design principle that considers security not as an added-on feature but a fundamental part of the product blueprint, a common challenge that all stakeholders – including governments, industry and standards organisations, enterprises, technology suppliers, and consumers – have a shared responsibility to confront. 

As a global ICT leader, Huawei will continue supporting economic growth, creating employment opportunities and enabling the digital transformation of industries across the Middle East and the world. Huawei will support local and regional industry ecosystems and SMEs while developing digital talents in all markets. The company is committed to continuing to create shared value and driving sustainable development for the ICT ecosystem. 

Huawei is hosting a series of conferences throughout the week that add new value to partners and customers. The annual Huawei Innovation Day returns for the second year, now covering the entire Middle East and Africa. It opened yesterday, in Al Multaqua Ballroom at the DWTC in collaboration with the Arab ICT Organization (AICTO) under the theme of “Collaboration to Unleash Innovation for Sustainable Digital Future”.

The sessions covered themes such as Green ICT for the sustainable future of sectors and industries and the ICT talent ecosystem, nurturing future digital leaders and empowering women in ICT in the Mea region.
