Today, Huawei held its TrustInTech Summit 2021 online, under the theme of 
"Global Collaboration for Shared Value."

Leaders from across the globe attended the event, including Neil Bush, Chairman 
of the George H.W. Bush Foundation for US-China Relations, Pascal Lamy, Former 
WTO Director General, 2018 Economics Nobel Prize winner William Nordhaus, ASEAN 
Deputy Secretary General H.E. Satvinder Singh, NASA Solar System Ambassador 
Derrick Pitts, and Hou Jinlong, Senior Vice President of Huawei and President 
of Huawei Digital Power.

Attendees acknowledged that humanity has entered an era in which interests, 
fates, and futures are all intertwined, and called for coordinated efforts to 
address common challenges. "We need to mitigate de-globalization, in order to 
avoid making this world a worse place," Pascal Lamy noted.

Today, fighting climate change is a mission that is shared worldwide, with many 
countries having announced low-carbon pledges. William Nordhaus said that 
governments should increase investment in low-carbon technologies and research.

Hou Jinlong further expanded, "By pursuing innovations in clean power 
generation, energy digitalization, transportation electrification, green ICT 
infrastructure, and integrated smart energy, we are working with global 
customers and partners to build low-carbon homes, factories, campuses, 
villages, and cities."

As of September 30, 2021, Huawei Digital Power has helped customers generate 
443.5 billion kWh of green power and save 13.6 billion kWh of electricity. This 
is equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by 210 million tons and planting 290 
million trees.

Participants warned that geopolitics should not stand in the way of 
technological cooperation and innovation. Neil Bush expressed his concerns 
about growing global decoupling, "Many are embracing a dangerous zero-sum 
mentality that defies common sense. China's success does not take away from 
ours, and vice versa." He added, "Particularly in the area of technology, when 
China and the United States collaborate, we can innovate in foundational and 
revolutionary ways."

International research cooperation has yielded scientific advances. Dr. Derrick 
Pitts noted the collaboration of seven countries in the International Brain 
Initiative, the Thirty Meter Telescope, and several other international 
scientific research cooperation projects. He highlighted that science 
flourishes best in a climate that encourages diversity and cross-domain 
partnerships.

Satvinder Singh delivered the closing remarks at the summit, speaking highly of 
the key role that private companies like Huawei play in inclusive and 
sustainable economic recovery across ASEAN and beyond.
