In his welcome speech, David Shi, President, Enterprise Business Group, Huawei Middle East, said, “The Fourth Industrial Revolution will be our pathway to a fully connected, intelligent world, especially as we gear up towards post-pandemic recovery & growth. It will have far-reaching implications for all industry verticals across the Middle East. Intelligent networks are the vital foundation of the digital world, providing reliable, ubiquitous, ultra-wide broadband, and secure connections for our communities.
“At Huawei, we are continuously investing in bringing the latest technologies such as AI and Big Data to enterprise networks, helping customers build a user-centric and application-centric, secure and reliable intelligent network that enables autonomous driving. Digital transformation is a long journey in the Middle East and we are committed to working closely with our partners and customers to empower the countries’ ambitious national plans, and to enable industry digitalisation strategies,” added Shi.
The event also featured PwC Middle East’s AI Lead Dr. Scott Nowson who shared a keynote presentation on ‘AI Empowers Next-Gen Enterprise Networks.’
“Companies use AI and other emerging technologies to transform the way they operate and to respond to challenges in real-time,” he said.
He noted that the unpredictability of recent events has highlighted vulnerabilities that decision makers, especially CIOs, need to reprioritise, such as organisational resilience and a focus on network technologies that support their business needs. “Next-generation networks powered by AI, and the combination of these emerging technologies, are where we will see the greatest impact today.”
The Huawei Middle East IP Club Carnival also showcased Huawei’s new IP products and solutions.
With digital technologies becoming the building blocks of the future economy, Huawei emphasised talent as the cornerstone of digital transformation and announced the launch of a comprehensive certification program and the setting up of network innovation labs in the Middle East. The joint innovation program aims to promote the application of new technologies and accelerate the digital transformation journey in this region.
