We will showcase how these advanced technologies can enable digital transformation across all industries, making them more efficient, versatile and resilient as we move towards economic recovery and growth. Aligned with Huawei’s green strategy, we will also announce new products and solutions developed to support carbon neutral environments, as well as share success stories and best practices from our work with customers and partners and explore how we can jointly build a dynamic ecosystem for collaboration and shared success.
I also invite you to attend the ‘Huawei MENA Industrial Digital Transformation Summit 2021’, an exclusive forum held on October 19 during GITEX, designed to bring together thought leaders and industry experts to share innovations in technology and scenario-based solutions, to help customers in all industries go digital.
