Huawei is making waves at GITEX GLOBAL 2024, one of the world’s largest and most influential technology exhibitions, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre. As a Diamond Sponsor, Huawei is showcasing a range of cutting-edge solutions and flagship products aimed at accelerating industrial digitalization and intelligent transformation. Under the theme “Accelerate Industrial Digitalization and Intelligence,” Huawei is presenting joint solutions with partners across a variety of industries, including public utilities, transportation, finance, electric power, oil and gas, mining, retail, education, and healthcare. The goal of these solutions is to help businesses across these sectors successfully navigate and enhance their digital transformation efforts.
During the Industrial Digital and Intelligent Transformation Summit at GITEX 2024, Li Peng, Corporate Senior Vice President and President of ICT Sales & Service at Huawei, delivered the opening remarks, emphasizing the company’s focus on leveraging its strengths to support industrial transformation. “We’re combining our strengths in networking, storage, computing, cloud, and energy,” Li said, highlighting the company’s commitment to building new digital and intelligent infrastructure.
Li Peng also discussed how Huawei is implementing the intelligent transformation reference architecture it introduced last year. This architecture has already been used to deliver solutions across industries like government, finance, electric power, transportation, manufacturing, oil and gas, and mining. “We have summarized over 100 case studies that different industry customers can use to accelerate their digital and intelligent transformation,” said Li.
The success of these solutions, according to Li, is rooted in Huawei’s strong partnerships. The company has created an open, mutually beneficial ecosystem by collaborating with local solution partners. Through initiatives such as the establishment of 14 OpenLabs around the globe, Huawei supports joint innovation with partners. In the UAE, Huawei has developed over 20 industry-specific solutions by working with more than 30 local partners. Li emphasized the importance of developing local talent and building a sustainable digital ecosystem to drive long-term success.
Another keynote speaker at the summit of Gitex Global 20204, Leo Chen, Corporate Senior Vice President and President of Enterprise Sales at Huawei, emphasized the transformative impact of next-generation technologies like AI and 5G-A on global industries. According to Chen, these technologies are key drivers of the fourth industrial revolution, set to bring a dramatic leap in productivity.
However, this transformation also comes with its share of challenges. Issues related to infrastructure, industrial applications, and talent ecosystems need to be addressed to fully realize the potential of digital and intelligent transformation. Huawei aims to tackle these challenges head-on by providing industries with AI-ready ICT infrastructure built on its full-stack capabilities in connectivity, storage, computing, and cloud.
Huawei is also helping industries overcome their specific challenges by applying advanced technologies to resolve business pain points. To further support industries in their transformation, Huawei released the “Amplifying Industrial Digitalization & Intelligence Practice” white paper, which includes more than 100 success stories from over 20 industries. This paper offers a roadmap for industries looking to adopt advanced technologies and improve their business operations.
In addition, Huawei has collaborated with IDC to develop the Global Digital Index (GDI), a new set of evaluation indicators designed to help enterprises measure and track their digital transformation progress. This comprehensive initiative reflects Huawei’s dedication to leading industrial digital and intelligent transformation.
David Shi, Vice President of ICT Marketing and Solution Sales at Huawei, emphasized the importance of solid ICT infrastructure for enterprises during his keynote speech. According to Shi, building the right foundation is critical for organizations to succeed in the digital and intelligent era. He identified two key areas of focus: accelerating the popularization of ICT infrastructure and accelerating monetization.
To make ICT infrastructure more accessible and adaptable to various industries, Huawei has established four guiding principles: easy integration, access, use, and evolution. These principles simplify the process for industries to adopt and utilize advanced ICT infrastructure. From campuses to wide-area networks (WANs) and data centers, Huawei’s solutions are designed to integrate smoothly into existing business operations and evolve alongside changing business needs.
Additionally, Huawei’s push to accelerate monetization focuses on creating value through innovation, integrating technologies, and building a vibrant partner ecosystem. By helping businesses speed up their digital and intelligent transformation, Huawei enables them to unlock new revenue streams and create long-term value.
