Huawei 2023 Global Analyst Summit lays out digital future

The Huawei Global Analyst Summit (HAS) of 2023, which has brought together over 1,000 industry analysts, financial analysts, key opinion leaders, and media representatives from around the world, has unveiled the roadmap for the future of digital transformation.

The meeting, which marks the 20th anniversary of the summit, will also discuss the current status of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry and development strategies.

In her opening keynote speech, Deputy Chairwoman, Rotating Chairwoman, and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Huawei, Sabrina Meng emphasized that digitalization remains a blue ocean for the entire industry, and Huawei plans to increase its investments in connectivity, computing, storage, and cloud.

The goal is to help organizations go digital in four stages, namely digitizing operations, building digital platforms, enabling platform-based intelligence, and putting intelligence to use.

Ms Meng shared three major takeaways from Huawei’s nearly 10 years of digital transformation experience. She emphasized that strategy is essential, data is the foundation, and intelligence is the destination.

President of Huawei’s Institute of Strategic Research, Dr. Zhou Hong also spoke at the event and shared Huawei’s hypotheses and visions for a future intelligent world, detailing how we can transform experience into structured knowledge, and lay the foundation for intelligence.

According to Mr Zhou, “Rethinking approaches to networks and computing is crucial as we move towards an intelligent world.”

In networking, he believes we have what it takes to move beyond the limits of Shannon’s theorems and drive a 100-fold increase in network capabilities over the next decade.

In computing, new models, architectures, and components will be introduced to improve our ability to understand and control intelligence.

Huawei will continue to explore the use of AI for industry applications, science, and more.

This year’s summit marks the 20th anniversary of the Huawei Global Analyst Summit.
