Huawei expands in-car ecosystem with Anghami and Nabd partnerships at HDC 2025
Huawei Consumer Cloud Services has signed two strategic Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with leading regional digital content platforms, Anghami and Nabd, during the Huawei Developer Conference 2025 (HDC 2025). The agreements aim to strengthen Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) for Car by offering localised, reliable, and engaging infotainment solutions tailored for global automakers.
Deepening regional integration for connected vehicles
The partnerships tap into the regional influence of two major MENA platforms: Anghami, the region's largest music streaming service, and Nabd, the top Arabic news aggregator. Both will deliver their content via HMS for Car, enabling auto manufacturers to provide enhanced, locally relevant user experiences inside connected vehicles.
Anghami, which boasts a catalogue of over 57 million tracks and deep insight into Arabic music preferences, will now offer its music content through Huawei's in-car services. This marks a continuation of a long-standing relationship. Since 2020, Anghami has integrated with Huawei Mobile Services and promoted its presence through HUAWEI AppGallery across the Middle East and Africa. In 2021, it launched a HarmonyOS app for Huawei smartwatches and followed it with a dedicated app version for the Huawei Watch 5 in 2025. With the new MoU, Anghami will help create a robust music ecosystem within HMS for Car.

Nabd, which serves over 32 million users globally, delivers personalised Arabic news, live sports scores, market data, weather forecasts, TV streaming, and more. Through its partnership with Huawei, Nabd will offer localised news content and multilingual services for HMS for Car, enriching the platform's media offerings. The collaboration builds on Nabd's earlier work with Huawei since 2021, including HMS media kit integration and brand expansion via the AppGallery.
HMS for Car continues its innovation push
Beyond partnerships,
The collaboration with Anghami and Nabd underscores Huawei's goal to build a rich and locally attuned in-car ecosystem. By joining forces with trusted regional platforms, Huawei is enhancing the relevance and depth of its services for drivers and passengers across the globe.
Looking ahead, Huawei plans to scale its ecosystem further by onboarding more regional and international content partners, delivering increasingly personalised and immersive digital experiences within connected vehicles.
