Innovating to advance the digital 
economy
COVID-19 has drastically changed how we all live, 
work, and create value. Many communities were 
fortunate to have access to digital technology, which 
helped keep their lives in some semblance of working 
order.
Looking at the role of technology in our response 
to the pandemic, it’s clear that the past year marks 
an even greater convergence of the digital and 
physical worlds. We will soon find ourselves in a 
fully connected world where digital technology 
and intelligence are key drivers for socio-economic 
development.
Greater integration of digital technology has brought 
hope to many. The healthcare sector is going digital 
faster than ever before to fight back against the 
pandemic. 5G, cloud, AI, and other new technologies 
have greatly boosted the medical community’s ability 
to speed up testing, provide remote consultation, and 
support contactless nursing.
With greater connectivity, many everyday activities 
have gone online too. Work, school, signing contracts, 
and many new applications are all moving to the 
cloud, defining the new normal.
Industries are also finding new opportunities to 
go digital. Technologies like 5G, cloud, and AI are 
converging rapidly, driving the digital transformation 
of traditional industries like manufacturing, energy, 
and transportation. This has helped vastly increase 
productivity and create new value out of old 
processes. Many companies are now able to do 
business in completely new ways. With smarter 
data analytics, they are making more informed 
decisions on product development, supply chain, and 
marketing to speed up their time to market and drive 
commercial success.
ICT infrastructure, the cornerstone of the digital 
economy, is becoming more important than ever. 
In the digital age, access to stable and high-speed 
network services has become a basic need for every 
human being.
Huawei focuses on ICT solutions and smart devices, 
and is committed to providing technology, products, 
services, and solutions to drive social progress. 
For more than 30 years, we have dedicated 
ourselves to pushing the boundaries of information 
and communications technology and enhancing 
connectivity worldwide.
And the results show. Over the years, we have 
connected more than three billion people in more 
than 170 countries and regions. We are helping 
millions of companies go digital, driving the digital 
economy forward in the countries where we operate.
