Huawei Connect 2022 kicks off in Bangkok to explore unleashing digital productivity
BANGKOK, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

HUAWEI CONNECT 2022, Huawei's annual flagship event for the global ICT 
industry, began today in Bangkok. The theme of this year's event is "Unleash 
Digital," gathering over 10,000 ICT industry leaders, experts, and partners 
from around the world to explore how to more effectively unleash digital 
productivity, promote the digital economy, and build up stronger digital 
ecosystems.

At the event, Huawei shared the steps it's taking to advance digital 
development across a wide range of industries, and released 15+ innovative 
cloud services for the global market.

Three initiatives to help all industries go digital
To kick off the event, Ken Hu, Huawei's Rotating Chairman, delivered a keynote 
outlining three ways the ICT ecosystem can help break through common barriers 
in digital transformation:

-Boost digital infrastructure, including more robust connectivity and stronger, 
more diverse computing resources.
-Help organizations go beyond simple cloud adoption and truly make the most of 
cloud, focusing on advanced technology services that drive leapfrog development.
-Build out local digital ecosystems, including partner development, 
strengthening the digital talent pool, and providing more support for SMEs.

GDP growth has been unstable over the past two years. However, the digital 
economy has seen consistent growth on a global scale – more than 15% in 2021. 
This has prompted many organizations to transform their operations and service 
offerings with next-generation digital technology.

"Going digital is clearly the right choice," said Hu. "The demand is there, and 
so are the technologies. The world is unleashing digital productivity, and it's 
happening right now."

At the event, Huawei reinforced its commitment to open collaboration and shared 
success. The company called for governments and enterprises to work more 
closely together to cultivate local digital ecosystems that build up innovation 
partners, strengthen the talent pool, and support startups.

In his keynote, Simon Lin, the President of Huawei Asia-Pacific Region, 
released the Digital First Economy whitepaper that delves into targeted policy 
suggestions for digital infrastructure construction and digital economy 
development in the Asia-Pacific region.

"The Asia-Pacific region is standing at the forefront of the global digital 
landscape," said Lin. "Huawei is committed to becoming a key contributor to the 
digital economy in the region. We will keep supporting its digitalization and 
sustainable development efforts, and building out the industry ecosystem."

The three-day conference in Bangkok is the first stop on HUAWEI CONNECT's 
global tour in 2022. Featuring two keynote sessions, six summits, as well as 
multiple breakout sessions and demos, this year's event dives into the 
challenges that governments and enterprises face at all stages of their digital 
transformation journey, Huawei's advancements in digital infrastructure, as 
well as the company's latest cloud services and ecosystem partner solutions.
