SHENZHEN,China,May 18,2023 -- During the Huawei Asia Pacific Partners Conference 2023 hosted in Shenzhen,Huawei shared its latest partner strategy in Asia Pacific,and the company's collaborative progress in crafting narratives of digital transformation across the region.

As an engine of global economic growth,Asia-Pacific has long been a leader in digitalization and innovation initiatives. Huawei has more than 7,900 enterprise partners and more than 2,000 cloud partners in the Asia-Pacific region,and it seeks to cultivate an even stronger partner ecosystem here. In this region,Huawei expects to see its business grow rapidly over the coming years,with partners contributing to 95% of the company's revenue. These partners are also expected to take home 800 million US dollars a year just by selling Huawei products and services.

Aaron Wang,Vice President of Huawei's Asia Pacific Enterprise Business Group

During the "InnovAsia Tech Talk" roundtable,Aaron Wang,Vice President of Huawei's Asia Pacific Enterprise Business Group,discussed the company's recent digital transformation initiatives across the Asia Pacific.

In Thailand,Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) has digitally transformed into an 'Innovative University' with enhanced digital infrastructure. In Laos,the first smart potash mine facilitated a video call from 300 meters underground. Macau's electricity provider,CEM,has leveraged smart grid technology to increase power supply stability to 99.9998%. In Malaysia,a fully connected airport has been constructed,improving both customer experience and operational efficiency. In Singapore,Green Link,a burgeoning Digital-Only Bank,is running most of its banking solutions,including core banking,on Huawei Cloud for enhanced business agility.

Wang attributed these successes to the company's experiences in China,specifically mentioning the Smart Tianjin Port,which reduced costs by 30% and energy consumption by 17% through autonomous driving and 5G technology. Additionally,the Hongliulin Mine in Shaanxi has converted all operations to smart mode,connecting all equipment digitally. "We will continue leading the way in digital transformation,continue building bridges with our partners,and continue contributing to the advancement of societies across the globe," shared by Aaron Wang.
