Huawei hosts "Green ICT for Green Development" Summit in Partnership with Informa Tech
SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-Asianet/ --

At the Better World Summit (BWS) hosted by Huawei in partnership with Informa 
Tech, Bob Cai, Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei's Carrier Business Group, 
delivered the opening speech titled "Green ICT for Green Development". "As a 
leading global provider of ICT infrastructure and smart devices, Huawei 
incorporates green development into everything we do. We see this as part of 
our social responsibilities. In addition, Huawei is ready to become the best 
partner for operators in their efforts toward carbon neutrality," said Cai. 
"With our innovative products and solutions, we will help operators cut carbon 
emissions and make their networks more energy efficient. We also want to work 
with operators and use ICT to better enable other industries to cut carbon 
emissions and become carbon neutral faster."

In June 2021, Huawei and Informa Tech jointly proposed the Network Carbon 
Intensity (NCI) initiative, in which carbon emissions per bit of data is 
defined as a new metric for green networks. Huawei emphasized that people's 
pursuit of better lives must be balanced with the need for lower carbon 
emissions, so the company proposed this initiative to better manage and measure 
carbon reduction roadmaps.

During this summit, Huawei stressed the need to establish a platform for 
industry collaboration on green development and said that BWS is a good 
example. This platform will regularly bring together industry partners and 
operators to share innovative technologies and latest practices in how to cut 
carbon emissions and contribute to a greener ICT industry. According to Cai, at 
MWC Barcelona 2022, Huawei will continue to hold a green development forum with 
its partners to share industry practices and latest solutions, and all industry 
partners and operators are welcome to attend the forum.

"We believe the BWS in Dubai is a good beginning. Looking ahead, we will 
continue to work with our industry partners and operators to empower green 
development of all industries using our innovative technologies," said Cai at 
the end of his speech. "As we envision in the theme of our flagship exhibition 
hall in Dubai, 'Lighting up the Future', we believe that together, we will 
light up a greener future."

Other attendees who spoke at the event included Richard Mahony, Vice President 
of Service Provider Markets of Informa Tech; Dr. Dena Assaf, UN Resident 
Coordinator of the United Arab Emirates; Tommy Stadlen, Co-Founder of Giant 
Ventures; Dr. Ahmed Bin Ali, Corporate Communications SVP of Etisalat; Hervé 
Suquet, Group Energy SVP of Orange; Dirk Karl, Chief Procurement Officer of 
MTN; Tanveer Mohammad, SVP of Global Operation of Telenor; and Aaron Jiang, 
Vice President of Huawei Wireless Product Line.
