[Shenzhen, China, April 26, 2022] Huawei’s 19th Annual Global Analyst Summit kicked off in Shenzhen. Hu Ken, Huawei’s rotating chairman, said that the company will continue to increase investment in innovation, create new products, and upgrade and accelerate new technologies.
Mr. Hu Ken delivered a keynote speech on Huawei’s innovative approach and building a green and intelligent world. “At Huawei, when we talk about innovation, the first thing that comes to our mind is people. We want to attract world-class talents with world-class challenges and jointly push the limits of technology,” Hu said, referring to the company’s launch on its website yesterday. The Top Minds Recruitment Program.
“We don’t care where you came from, where you graduated, or what you studied,” he continued. “As long as you have a dream for the future and believe you can make it happen, we want you to come and join us. We offer world-class challenges, a powerful platform, and all the resources you need to explore the unknown.”

Hu went on to discuss the specific steps Huawei is taking to realize its vision for the future. “We are currently focusing on three areas: strengthening our innovative approach, equipping all industries with the tools and knowledge needed to digitize, and helping to create a low carbon world.”
Below is a summary of the three initiatives.
Continuous innovation to promote the development of the industry:
⦁ In terms of connectivity, Huawei continues to push the industry forward. The company announced its vision for ubiquitous 10 Gbps connectivity via 5.5G and F5.5G, the next evolution in wireless and fixed networks. Together, these will support a wider range of niche networking needs, including a more immersive home experience and the low latency and high reliability required for industrial control scenarios.
⦁ In terms of computing, Huawei is redefining the system architecture of individual nodes, basic software, and data centers to significantly improve system performance and energy efficiency.
⦁ On cloud services, Huawei is building MetaStudio, a cloud-based end-to-end digital content pipeline that will greatly accelerate digital content production.
⦁ On the terminal side, Huawei aims to provide consumers with a user-centric smart experience in every aspect of their lives — what the company calls a seamless AI life experience — to effectively accelerate the fusion of the physical and digital worlds.
Deeply cultivate digital transformation and create new value for customers:
⦁ Huawei is adjusting its products and product portfolio to suit different industry scenarios. At the same time, it will start pre-integrating and pre-validating products, doing all the complex work ahead of time to make digital transformation easier for customers and partners. Based on HUAWEI CLOUD, Huawei aims to provide “everything as a service”, transforming infrastructure, technology and expertise into cloud-based services, making it easier for customers in different industries to access the cloud.
⦁ Huawei is also building integration teams that focus on specific industries, so that professional expert teams can be closer to customers’ business challenges and more closely integrate horizontal resources, that is, partners’ products and capabilities. The goal is to provide targeted digital transformation solutions for each industry and respond faster to customer needs.
Optimize low-carbon development of electricity supply and consumption with digital technology:
⦁ Huawei is redefining the photovoltaic industry through AI, cloud and other capabilities to promote renewable energy generation.
⦁ Huawei is also developing system-level low-carbon solutions for green ICT infrastructure, focusing on wireless base stations and data centers.
Looking ahead, Huawei is taking proactive measures to enhance business resilience and ensure steady development. “We must keep developing through continuous innovation to create value for our customers and society,” said Ken Hu. “We look forward to working more closely with our customers and partners to create a greener, smarter world.”
In addition to its innovation strategy, Huawei also shared its far-reaching vision for the future and some of the explorations it has done to achieve it. Dr. Zhou Hong, Director of Huawei Strategic Research Institute, said, “Our imagination today may be too conservative for tomorrow – too little. We must embrace the future with bold assumptions and bold visions, breaking through theoretical and technical bottlenecks. We have to tread carefully. This is the only way forward.”
Huawei also has a number of projects in the Philippines to cultivate local ICT talents, such as ICT Academy, Future Seeds, etc., covering the Philippines over the years, benefiting more than 9,000 ICT students. Huawei Philippines.
At the event, Dr. Zhou outlined ten challenges that Huawei hopes to address in the future.
Two scientific questions:
⦁ How machines perceive the world, can we build models to teach machines how to understand the world?
⦁ How can we better understand the physiological mechanisms of the human body, including the eight systems of the human body, as well as human intentions and intelligence?
Eight technical challenges:
⦁ New perception and control capabilities such as brain-computer interfaces, muscle-computer interfaces, 3D displays, virtual touch, virtual smell, and virtual taste
⦁ Real-time, unobtrusive blood pressure, blood sugar, and heart monitoring, plus powerful AI-assisted discovery in chemicals, biopharmaceuticals, and vaccines
⦁ Application-centric, efficient, automated, and intelligent software to create greater value and better experience
⦁ Reach and bypass Shannon’s limits for efficient, high-performance connectivity on a regional and global scale
⦁ Adaptive and efficient computational model, non-von Neumann architecture, unconventional components, interpretable and debuggable AI
⦁ Inventing new molecules, catalysts and components with intelligent computing
⦁ Develop new processes that go beyond CMOS with lower cost and higher efficiency
⦁ Safe, efficient energy conversion and storage, and on-demand services
