The Asia-Pacific region is a hotbed of innovation and a hub of technology excellence. has accelerated the digital transformation in each region including Asia-Pacific and the integration of advanced technologies from 5G, cloud, AI and computing. Creating unprecedented business opportunities for the ICT sector, according to the 2021 Asian Economic Integration Report, the Asia-Pacific region will generate an economic return of over $1.7 trillion each. years and will exceed $8.6 trillion through 2025. The growth in digital technology will result in approximately 65 million new jobs created per year in the region through 2025.
Mr. Simon Lin, President of Huawei Asia Pacific Region has revealed the role of Huawei as a technology provider in the region. in driving the digital transformation and empowering people with ICT technology talent that “Basically Our future world will depend on three driving forces: business dynamics; technology driving force and the driving force of sustainability.”
“First of all, business driving force will arise from the application of digital technology in various industries. To drive work in the digital era and improve service quality Second driving force are connectivity technologies, including advanced 5G, 6G, and IPv6+, and computing technologies developed to support new applications and new environments. technology The last one is sustainability driving force. This includes developing green business. social responsibility and quick response to emergency situations This will play a significant role in changing people’s livelihoods. Huawei is committed to investing relentlessly in sustainability. This not only reduces the power consumption of today’s devices, but also strives to develop new, more energy-efficient devices,” he said.

Although the Asia-Pacific region is full of digital opportunities, But the level of availability varies from place to place, said Simon Lin, “Huawei’s Global Connectivity Index (GCI) report reveals that India, Indonesia and the Philippines ranked 63, 58 and 59 globally, while in Singapore is ranked 2nd The Philippines and Indonesia have the lowest fixed broadband speeds compared to Singapore and Thailand. In summary, cloud access in the region is still less than 20%, while 4G mobile usage is slightly above 50%, and there are households. Only one third has access to fixed-broadband networks, so Huawei places great emphasis on social activities to improve people’s livelihoods through technology.”
“Huawei plans to increase investment in sustainable green solutions. by making the most of clean energy production electric power transportation system and intelligent energy storage system To support the Asia-Pacific region’s goal of reducing carbon emissions Promote the use of renewable energy and participate in a circular economy,” said Simon Lin.

All of the above reflect Huawei’s commitment to offer a diversified product portfolio. Designed to meet the needs of individual customers. whether in a developed or developing region
“Huawei offers advanced technologies in 5G, AI, cloud and blockchain. We are committed to delivering the experiences used in developed countries to developing countries and underdeveloped countries. To facilitate the transition to the digital age One example we do is to use advanced technology to improve 4G networks,” he added.
The Asia-Pacific region is a leader in digital economic growth and digital transformation. The example we see is Singapore Launches Smart Nation 2025 Blueprint, Indonesia and Malaysia Launches Strategy for Going Digital Bangladesh launched a strategy called Digital Bangladesh and Thailand announced its vision to become a digital hub in ASEAN.
Talking regarding Huawei’s role in supporting the national digital vision, Simon Lin said, “In this great journey, We are committed to being a key contributor to the digital vision of the Asia-Pacific region. and to achieve this goal We will focus on three main areas: connectivity and intelligent technology. Sustainable Carbon Reduction and equal access to digital I think Digital Infrastructure means digital connectivity. This includes 4G, 5G, fiber, and IoT technologies. Driving the number of digital service users and digital services to grow rapidly. This has greatly increased the need for connectivity infrastructure. And Huawei has a leadership role that drives this very seriously.”
Huawei is also committed to supporting low-carbon development in the Asia-Pacific region. “We continually invest in research and development. As a result, the carbon emission rate for Huawei’s E2E products and services is reduced by more than 80% compared to products with the same performance. At the same time, we help customers save energy and conserve the environment. Huawei combines digital and electronic technologies to innovate its digital power services. This makes the most efficient use of energy. and reducing the carbon footprint of ICT infrastructure through the utilization of clean energy production electric power transportation system and intelligent energy storage system which by the end of the year By 2021, Huawei has helped customers around the world reduce their carbon footprint by 230 million tons.”
Mr. Simon Lin also added that “We are committed to driving digital innovation for an inclusive Asia-Pacific region that leaves no one behind. in our vision The digital world is not just regarding technology. but also regarding people and humanity. In the next 3 years Huawei plans to invest $100 million to build a startup ecosystem in Asia Pacific, and in the next five years we will invest $50 million to develop 500,000 digital talent.”
“For me, the digital transformation is happening on many levels. Changes in traditional industries such as agriculture, mining, steel mining and construction is still in its early stages. Focusing on renewable energy, materials and people, the ICT industry only plays a supporting role. While the transportation, education and electric grid industries are undergoing rapid transformation, ICT is in the process of transitioning from support system to production system. Finally, changes in the media, banking and Over-the-Top (OTT) industries are considered advanced. Focus on information flow and funding sources. ICT has now played a role as a production system,” concluded Mr. Simon Lin.
