[Bangkok, Thailand, September 19, 2022] HUAWEI CONNECT 2022, Huawei's 7th annual flagship event for the global ICT industry, began on Monday in Bangkok. Huawei brought industry leaders, experts, and partners from around the world together to explore how to more effectively unleash digital productivity.
Initiatives to help all industries go digital
Ken Hu, Huawei's Rotating Chairman, delivered a keynote outlining three ways the ICT ecosystem can help break through common barriers in digital transformation:
** Boost digital infrastructure, including more robust connectivity and stronger, more diverse computing resources.
** Help organizations go beyond simple cloud adoption and truly make the most of cloud, focusing on advanced technology services that drive leapfrog development.
** Build out local digital ecosystems, including partner development, strengthening the digital talent pool, and providing more support for SMEs.

GDP growth has been unstable over the past two years. However, the digital economy has seen consistent growth on a global scale – more than 15% in 2021. This has prompted many organizations to transform their operations and service offerings with next-generation digital technology.
"Going digital is clearly the right choice," said Hu. "The demand is there, and so are the technologies. The world is unleashing digital productivity, and it's happening right now."
H.E. David Almirol, Usec of DICT in the Philippines, speaking at
HUAWEI CONNECT 2022
H.E. David Almirol, Undersecretary of Department of Information and Communications Technology in the Philippines, gave a speech during the event. He stated, “the Philippines are bringing and launching government cloud soon. Not only to unify what we have but to build more government cloud services in the country and the government cannot do it without a very good partner.We need to unify whatever we have and we need to ask for help from a lot of private entities. So our main intention is to find ways to build a foundation to invite everyone to build on top of that foundation, so that the government will become an enabler to everyone."
Building out local ecosystems for shared success
At the event, Huawei reinforced its commitment to open collaboration and shared success. The company called for governments and enterprises to work more closely together to cultivate local digital ecosystems that build up innovation partners, strengthen the talent pool, and support startups.
Simon Lin, the President of Huawei Asia-Pacific Region, released the Digital First Economy whitepaper that delves into targeted policy suggestions for digital infrastructure construction and digital economy development in the Asia-Pacific region.
"The Asia-Pacific region is standing at the forefront of the global digital landscape," said Lin. "Huawei is committed to becoming a key contributor to the digital economy in the region. We will keep supporting its digitalization and sustainable development efforts, and building out the industry ecosystem." “As countries in the region are empowering ICT talents to boost digital economy, Huawei will keep strengthening the talent ecosystem through leadership, skill, and knowledge.”
Speaking from the perspective of a tech provider, Mr. Jeff Wang, President of Huawei Public Affairs and Communications said: “Connecting people and building the next generation of talent is more important than ever for driving forward digital transformation. For more than 20 years, we’ve worked closely with our partners in Asia Pacific to provide Internet access to the unconnected. Meanwhile, we are on track to meet our goal of training 500,000 ICT talents in the region by 2026.”
New Huawei Cloud Region in Indonesia, and 15+ new services
At the event, Zhang Ping'an, the CEO of Huawei Cloud, announced the launch of new Huawei Cloud Regions in Indonesia and Ireland. By the end of 2022, Huawei Cloud will operate 75 availability zones in 29 regions around the world, boosting services for more than 170 countries and regions.
