Mr. Wang believes that the pandemic has revealed the advantages of the digital world, and shown the world how powerful and potential digital technology can be. Digital transformation has become inevitable, and ICT practitioners should expand the scope of digital services and achieve joint growth through effective collaboration.
Aaron Wang, Managing Director of Huawei Singapore Enterprise Business Group said that Huawei's strategy for the Singapore enterprise market is to focus on ICT, leveraging AI to enable the connectivity and computing domains. Huawei will adhere to a 100% Indirect sales strategy, allowing channel partners to enjoy more profits, and build an open ecosystem, develop Huawei's digital platform, and become a leading ICT provider in the Asia Pacific region across various industries, such as Government, Education, Healthcare, Finance, Transportation, and ISP.
Where others see difficulties, Huawei sees opportunities, and will continue to increase its investments. Huawei estimates an over 40% revenue increase in the enterprise market in 2020.
In terms of talent development, Huawei established the online ICT academy which allows customers and partners to obtain engineer certificates online, and train more capable technicians for the industry.
