Founded in 1987, Huawei is a leading global provider of information and communications

partners to build back better for a 
sustainable digital world.
It became apparent early on in the COVID-19 
pandemic how crucial access to digital infrastructure 
– especially high-speed networks – was for people 
to continue with a semblance of their previous 
lives, as they had to shift to virtual spaces. The 
crisis accelerated many previously underlying digital 
transformation trends. Businesses and communities 
need enhanced access to high-quality digital 
infrastructure and the advantages that digital 
transformation will bring. These are critical for 
pandemic resilience and sustainable development. The 
right policy and regulatory mix to help governments 
with this paradigm shift has never been more 
important.
Collaboration has also been vital during this time. 
In response to the crisis, Huawei proactively opened 
up discussions and dialogue with many international 
organizations. At the World Economic Forum, APEC 
Business Advisory Council, International Chamber 
of Commerce, the United Nations Global Compact, 
and other organizations, we argued the case for the 
temporary release of more spectrum resources, and 
greater facilitation of telecom network construction 
and maintenance, as a crucial element of the world’s 
COVID-19 response. We promoted the construction 
of new digital infrastructure and demonstrated how 
technology can be a force for good, bring universal 
digital access, and support a green recovery after the 
pandemic.
We actively participate in public consultations on 
industrial policies, standards, and specifications in 
every country in which we operate. We actively share 
our experience and recommendations with national 
governments on developing their local ICT ecosystems. 
In every country, our goal is to develop advanced 
digital infrastructure, to encourage innovation, to help 
spread pervasive digital skills in the local ecosystem, 
and to strengthen the digital economy to support a 
sustainable economic recovery.
