Smarter lifestyles in an intelligent world 
What will the intelligent world of 2030 look like? We 
will be able to watch live streams of sports events from 
the comfort of our home, with holographic projections 
creating truly immersive experiences. Advances in the 
Internet of Vehicles will make autonomous driving a 
reality, allowing for remote control of vehicles in risky 
mines and eliminating the need for human drivers. 
In the manufacturing sector, machine vision systems 
will automatically inspect production processes, and 
production data will be uploaded in real time through 
ultrafast networks for centralized analysis and control. 
The possibilities are endless.
New ICT technologies, including 5G, AI, and cloud, 
are converging to drive digital and intelligent 
transformation in all industries. These technologies 
promise cost savings, efficiency gains, and new value.
Massive intelligent connectivity is the foundation of 
the intelligent world, and data flows are sources of 
intelligence. The Global Mobile Suppliers Association 
(GSA) has stated that by the end of 2020, 412 carriers 
across more than 60 countries and regions had 
invested in 5G networks, whether it be through testing, 
trials, pilots, planning, or the actual deployment of 
5G networks. More than 140 carriers had launched 
commercial 5G services, and over 380 5G devices had 
hit the market. It is estimated that by 2025, there will 
be 1.8 billion users of 5G worldwide, accounting for 
20% of global connections. IHS Markit also estimated 
that between 2020 and 2035, the global 5G value 
chain will directly contribute an average of US$200 
billion annually to the world economy, generating 
US$3.5 trillion in total economic output and supporting 
22 million jobs.
Huawei believes that the intelligent world of 2030 will 
have five features:
•  Government: Digital governments with greater 
focus on people that will provide better public 
services to their citizens
•  Economy: Intelligent robots that will make up a 
critical part of the future workforce
