Highlights of the conference
- Seize the Two Major Opportunities of Green Intelligence
Mr. Zhou Hong, President of Huawei's Strategic Research Institute, kicked off the conference by sharing "Future-oriented Scientific Hypotheses and Business Visions". Humanity has gone through18The mechanized era of the century,19The electrical age of the century and20In the information age of the century, nowadays21The century belongs to the era of intelligence. Globally233Driven by the comprehensive needs of countries and regions, the growth rate of the global digital sector has been rapidly increasing exponentially, and it will far exceed current growth rates in the future.
Zhou Hong stated that on the path to realizing a digital and intelligent society, cutting-edge science and technology have not made significant breakthroughs in the past few decades and are at a bottleneck. However, driven by global demand, technological frontiers can seek technological breakthroughs in multiple fields such as artificial intelligence, biomedicine, software, communications, computing, materials, manufacturing, energy, and more.
Zhou Hong believes: 'Our current imagination about the future may be conservative, so we need to be braver. We hope to work with academia and industry to reconstruct fundamental theories, architectures, and software, and jointly explore and create the future.' Science and technology need to expand cognitive boundaries, including energy, matter, phenomena, and laws, as well as to push beyond the limits of human perception and explore new computational methods to transform 'cognition' into 'implementation'.
Mr. Hua Houkang, the rotating chairman of Huawei, then delivered a speech on 'Continuous Innovation, Building a Green and Intelligent World'. Mr. Hua Houkang stated that Huawei will firmly seize the two major opportunities of intelligent development and a low-carbon society, continue innovation, and move towards the future society. The three main directions of Huawei's current development still mainly cover 'continuous innovation', 'deepening digitalization', and 'digital low-carbon'.

Interpretation by Frost & Sullivan Analysts
Regarding this Huawei Global Analyst Conference, the Frost & Sullivan team has the following views:
First, whether the company can firmly grasp the two major main avenues in the future is at the core of Huawei's construction of long-term competitiveness. 2021In [year], although the smartphone business was affected by chip sanctions, net profit was able to show initial signs of recoveryBThe signs of stabilization in terminal businesses. 2022In [year], Huawei needs to firmly grasp the two major opportunities for human social development: digitalization and low-carbonization, clarify its strategic direction, and build long-term core competitiveness to ensure stable net profit growth;
Second, 'technical intensity'+The improvement in talent concentration is expected to become a breakthrough strategy for Huawei's chip supply. Due to the higher requirements for space volume and performance of mobile phone chips, Huawei's chip supply problem in the short term remains difficult to resolve. By focusing on technology and talent, it is expected to provide a certain degree of internal support for Huawei's chip supply chain;
Third, with a concentrated presence of senior executives, Huawei Cloud is priming itself for an explosive surge. Currently, the digital transformation space in cloud industry ecosystems and sectors is far from reaching its peak. Many industries have just begun their digital transformation journey, leaving a vast global cloud service industry space. As an independent company operating Huawei Cloud, on one hand, it leverages its capabilities to internally connect various departments. On the other hand, it will continue to strengthen its presence in the global market from an external perspective. In the future, around Huawei CloudCEOZhang Ping'an's strategy of 'everything is a service' is reasonably expected to become an important highlight in Huawei Cloud's subsequent annual financial reports.
