From April 24-25, the 2019 HUAWEI CLOUD Summit themed "+AI, Grow with 
Intelligence" opened in Singapore. Nearly 2,000 partners and subject-matter 
experts gathered together to discuss how cloud + AI helps industries improve 
productivity and enterprises achieve their intelligent transformations. Plenty 
of cases were also shared to demonstrate the benefits of adoption. 

Full-stack innovation to power Singapore's smart blueprint 

AI is the new driver of industrial transformation. Enterprises are all vying 
for ways to take the lead in the intelligent era. With the development of new 
technologies, organizations of all types are choosing HUAWEI CLOUD for their 
cloud computing needs. Song Zhexuan, Chief Strategy Officer of HUAWEI CLOUD, 
said: "What makes HUAWEI CLOUD different? It is the exceptionally 
cost-effective cloud infrastructure with an open, intelligent application 
platform and the full-stack, all-scenario AI portfolio."

During the event, customers, partners, and subject-matter experts from SAP, 
Intel, SHAREit, RFCx, NUS, and Cennavi Technologies shared their opinions and 
practices in digital transformation and AI adoption.

Sumner Lemon, Regional Director for Digital Transformation and Enterprise Sales 
Asia-Pacific & Japan Territory, Intel, said: "The blending of traditional 
business with digital business has resulted in the emergence of a data-driven, 
digital economy. It is no longer 'business as usual', and organizations are 
realizing they cannot compete on old infrastructure. Business success now 
requires IT transformation from the data center to multiple clouds and to the 
edge."

Jitu Agrawal, Vice President & GM of Digital Core Cloud SAP South East Asia, 
said: "The digital era is evolving into the intelligence era, and SAP strategy 
is to deliver the Intelligent Enterprise through the Intelligent Suite - the 
right solution for each customer situation."

Jason Wang, Partner & CBO, SHAREit, said: "On our way to achieve our vision 
globally, HUAWEI CLOUD has become one of the most trustworthy partners 
supporting us to deliver satisfaction to our 1.8 billion users."

During the Summit, Bourhan Yassin, the COO of Rainforest Connection (RFCx), 
delivered a speech titled "Guardians of the Forest: AI Powered Recycled Cell 
Phones." Bourhan Yassin said: "With the help of HUAWEI CLOUD AI, we are 
creating the world's largest soundscape of remote forest capable of detecting 
multiple calls within endangered species critical to the eco-system: Spider 
Monkey, Howler Monkey, Amazon Parrot, Orangutan Macaw, Leopard and more¡­"

Ooi Beng Chin, Distinguished Professor Department of Computer Science School of 
Computing, NUS, said: "I am glad that Huawei has launched its cloud services in 
Singapore. Its presence should facilitate our researches related to the cloud, 
such as distributed deep learning and Apache SINGA, and promote our healthcare, 
security, and fintech systems for wider adoption. We look forward to exchanges 
of research ideas and future collaboration.

Cennavi Technologies and HUAWEI CLOUD are cooperating in development of Traffic 
Intelligent Twins TrafficGo. At the summit, Song Huixing, Manager of Base 
Platform Dept, Cennavi Technologies, stated: "With powerful HUAWEI CLOUD 
infrastructure and AI, and our MineData platform, we've made progresses in 
several fields, especially on intelligent transportation, such as AI-based 
traffic capacity improvement and intelligent traffic management."

Another crowd fav: the Hands-on Lab!

The Hands-on Lab in the outdoor experience area allowed event-goers to 
experience ModelArts - the one-stop AI development platform powered on HUAWEI 
CLOUD. Developers experienced how quickly they can preprocess, mark, train, 
build, and deploy data models on the impressive platforming. 

Developers were able to set up a cloud database application in a little as one 
minute and even operated ModelArts to transform a stock car into a self-driving 
vehicle in a short time with the on-platform AI capabilities. After the 
adoption, the car was able to identify such things in the environment as 
traffic lights, obstacles, and lanes, and was able to follow specific targets. 

HUAWEI CLOUD is committed to building an open, robust ecosystem to power the 
smart world. The cloud arm offers a unique synergy in its 
chip-device-pipe-cloud capabilities to create an everybody-wins ecosystem 
featuring wide-open collaboration. HUAWEI CLOUD is opening up the China 
ecosystem to the world and bringing the global ecosystem to China as it 
continues to build the rich platforming for the fully intelligent ecosystem 
through open-minded cooperation. The HUAWEI CLOUD marketplace has already 
welcomed over 6000 partners to provide value-added services for customers in 
the full range of industries. HUAWEI CLOUD will continue to work with partners 
in promoting intelligent adoptions suited to the Singapore and Asia Pacific 
regions.
