The OlympusMons Awards, launched by Huawei in 2019, are designed to steer research in foundational data storage theories, overcome key technical challenges, accelerate the industrial application of scientific breakthroughs, and foster collaboration between industry, academia, and research institutions. Indeed, the awards have become a leading and highly regarded accolade in the data storage industry.
As AI technologies continue to advance, traditional applications are evolving into intelligent, agent-based systems. Data is not only expanding rapidly in scale. The ways it is stored, managed, and utilized are also undergoing fundamental change. The OlympusMons Awards 2026 focus on addressing challenges within the Agentic AI data infrastructure, including high cost of storage media, low energy efficiency ratio of inference, imprecise data supply, and difficulties in knowledge generalization and evolution. The event invites researchers around the world to propose innovative solutions to address these problems.
The continuous development of AI has led to an explosive growth in data volume, resulting in a surge in the demand for data to be "stored affordably and accessed promptly." Research ultra-high-density storage technologies for mass data and high-performance access technologies for state data aims to create storage systems with the ultimate cost-efficiency per bit.
Agentic AI is gradually entering enterprise production scenarios, imposing higher demands on token production efficiency, as well as on cross-domain reuse and evolution of enterprise knowledge. Research technologies such as efficient data supply under Agent workloads, and highly generalizable, evolvable knowledge representations, to accelerate the large-scale deployment of AI.
The 2026 contest has two OlympusMons Awards and five OlympusMons Pioneer Awards.
Huawei will establish technical communication channels with winners and provide them with research assistance.
