Huawei, a global telecom services provider, has committed to continue investing in Africa while also facilitating talent development.

The company believes Africa is endowed with potential, and Huawei is eager to collaborate with governments and enterprises to capitalise on these chances.

David Wang, executive director of the board and chairman of Huawei's ICT infrastructure managing board, made the commitment yesterday during his presentation at the Huawei Africa Connect event in Johannesburg, South Africa.

"Globally, the digital economy is quickly expanding. We will continue to invest in innovation in Sub-Saharan Africa," highlighting the company's OpenLab and joint innovation hubs, as well as continuous training and professional development activities.

In Africa, the company collaborates with partners to create tailored solutions for local businesses with varying demands, providing partners with products, tools, and attractive conditions.

According to Hover Gao, President of Huawei Sub-Saharan Africa Region, Africa has made a tremendous transition from an agricultural economy to one based on digital technologies.

He said moving forward, Huawei can help make digital transformation the key to enhancing productivity for people, businesses and society in Africa.

Victor Guo, president of Huawei SA Enterprise Business Group, believes that the intelligent world is already here, and that by 2030, the amount of computing power will increase by more than tenfold - and by more than twentyfold in Africa.

He adds: "Africa's population is youthful. They are willing and eager to learn new technologies.”

Huawei collaborates with over 3,000 partners in the region and intends to use these partnerships to offer more local solutions.
