Huawei eco-Connect Europe 2019 held in Paris

Today, Huawei held eco-Connect Europe 2019 in Paris, France, under the theme of 
"Enable a DigitALL Connected Future." The conference focused on the mutually 
beneficial cooperation between Europe and Huawei in the era of intelligence and 
attracted more than 500 partners and 4,200 participants. 

As the company approaches 20 years of experience in the European market next 
year, Huawei has been extensively involved in enabling the digitalization of 
Europe. The company is dedicated to creating an open ecosystem with ubiquitous

industry experience, which is helping European nations and enterprises achieve 
success in digital transformation and the next phase of the economic cycle. In

AI ecosystem and leading the development of the new intelligent era.

Digital economy is the engine that drives global economic growth and 
opportunity for Europe to secure a favorable industrial position in the global 
market

The digital economy has become the most important industrial foundation, 
business model and new economic form globally. In the next two decades, 
industrial digitalization will be the biggest trend and opportunity for 
economic development. Huawei has been committed to helping enterprises 
integrate technology with industry scenarios and enable digital transformation 
of the industry. Europe has the leading edge globally in education, talent and 
basic research, as well as an innovative ecosystem of broad creativity and a 
well-established industrial chain foundation. More than a quarter of the 
world's Fortune 500 companies are from Europe. The development of the digital 
economy will be an opportunity for Europe to secure a favorable industrial 
position in the global market.

Connectivity + Intelligence + Digital Platform ¨C Huawei brings European 
partners the "intelligent golden key"

Although digital transformation is the dominant trend, there are many 
challenges along the way. Enterprises are looking to systematically improve 
service and operational efficiency, and fundamentally solve the pain points of

Of the 228 Fortune 500 companies globally that have chosen Huawei to be their 
digital transformation partner, nearly 50 are from Europe. Mr. Yan Lida, 
Director of the board of Huawei Technologies and president of Huawei Enterprise 
Business Group, said, "We have been practicing digital transformation and 
looking for viable paths for many years. We have found the golden key to open 
the gate of this trillion USD market ¨C the Horizon Digital Platform. Featuring 
extensive accumulation, converged architecture, an open ecosystem, and high 
efficiency, the Horizon Digital Platform uses the cloud as the basis to connect 
business processes, share business data and enable smooth information flow 
through optimization and integration of new ICTs, and aggregation of service 
data. The platform not only allows better service collaboration and agile 
business innovation for enterprise customers, but also lays a foundation for 
the construction of a fully digital world. In application enablement, the 
platform supports fast development and flexible deployment of applications. In 
terminal connection, the platform leverages ubiquitous connectivity to improve 
collaboration between clouds, pipes, and devices, bridging the physical and 
digital worlds. Huawei will open the platform architecture to ensure service, 
componentization, and support for multi-environment deployment, helping 
customers choose the combination that best suits their business needs. Huawei 
will also share capabilities to help partners maximize the use of the platform 
to serve more customers. Huawei has achieved success in various industrial 
scenarios, such as Intelligent City, Intelligent Campus, and Intelligent 
Airport. Our success cases include, but are not limited to, Duisburg in 
Germany, the Sardinia Isle in Italy, and the Dubai Airport in the United Arab 
Emirates."

With the three strategic directions of connectivity, intelligence, and digital 
platform, Huawei will build an open digital ecosystem in Europe, including 
exploring the application of new technologies such as 5G through 
customer-oriented joint innovation centers, investing in the Ascend ecosystem 
to enable the AI industry, and leveraging OpenLab as an open innovation 
platform to nurture industry-specific solutions with partners.

Under the theme of "Building a Fully Connected, Intelligent World", Huawei 
fully demonstrated the capabilities of Digital Technologies

Huawei worked with more than 20 alliance and solution partners including Orange 
Business Services, Intel, SUSE, T-systems, Dedalus, and Wipro to demonstrate 
their solutions and success cases in seven major industries: Intelligent City, 
manufacturing, finance, energy, transportation, retail and healthcare.

For example, Huawei, FESTO and Quicktron jointly demonstrated bringing low-cost 
AGV connections, ultra-high bandwidth, ultra-low latency and seamless roaming 
capabilities through Wi-Fi 6 + 5G + optical switching to meet the wide-area 
mobile requirements of the campus in the digital transformation of the 
manufacturing industry.

Huawei and manufacturing software partner Gefasoft also jointly demonstrated 
how key application acceleration solutions can optimize service performance in 
production systems and maintain online business continuity, demonstrating 
Huawei's great potential and advantages in edge computing and edge cloud 
collaborative full-stack AI in the future.

Huawei works with industry-leading customers and partners to release the latest 
news on cooperation and progress of building an open ecosystem in Europe

During the Huawei eco-Connect Europe conference, Huawei worked with a number of 
industry-leading enterprises to expand the ecosystem and extend the scope of 
their cooperation.
