At Huawei, we are committed to working with our partners to build robust digital infrastructure and accelerate intelligent transformation across the region'. Huawei's investment in Uzbekistan extends beyond technology demonstrations. The company has established ICT academies within the region with local universities, training thousands of digital professionals annually. Through initiatives like ' T.H.E Gold Talent Program ', Huawei aims to cultivate one million digital talents across the Middle East and Central Asia in the coming years. 'The countries in ME&CA are actively promoting digital, intelligent and green transformation, 'concluded Gan. 'As the region embraces its digital future, Huawei remains committed to being a trusted partner in this transformation journey, helping bridge the digital divide and create sustainable prosperity for all'.
