Huawei hopes to work with industry partners in three key areas. First, we will focus on digital infrastructure and continuously invest in R&D innovation. Second, we will promote low-carbon development as well as a healthy ecosystem. Third, we will keep empowering an inclusive Asia Pacific," he added.
Tony Lee, Director of Huawei ICT Market Management & Marketing Operation Department, spoke on the theme 'Exploring the Intelligent World 2030' and shared Huawei's future-oriented exploration and innovation progress.

Exploration and assumptions are the starting point of innovation, and then to vision, theory, technology, and business. Through the exploration and insights of the Intelligent World 2030 report, ICT requirements in terms of bandwidth, latency, computing capability, and energy efficiency will increase by more than 100 times. ICT has become a new infrastructure for the Intelligent World."
David Lu, President of Huawei APAC Strategy & Marketing, shared Huawei's strategy and action plan in the Asia Pacific region.

In addition, ecosystem construction, partnership cooperation, and talent development are key factors for regional economic recovery and digitalisation. In the future, Huawei will continue to invest in local ecosystem construction and talent cultivation.
