Addressing Global Challenges through Openness and Trust in Tech

SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 2, 2021 — Today, Huawei held its TrustInTech Summit 2021 online, under the theme of "Global Collaboration for Shared Value."

Leaders from across the globe attended the event, including Neil Bush, Chairman of the George H.W. Bush Foundation for US-China Relations, Pascal Lamy, Former WTO Director General, 2018 Economics Nobel Prize winner William Nordhaus, ASEAN Deputy Secretary General H.E. Satvinder Singh, NASA Solar System Ambassador Derrick Pitts, and Hou Jinlong, Senior Vice President of Huawei and President of Huawei Digital Power.

Attendees acknowledged that humanity has entered an era in which interests, fates, and futures are all intertwined, and called for coordinated efforts to address common challenges. "We need to mitigate de-globalization, in order to avoid making this world a worse place," Pascal Lamy noted.

Today, fighting climate change is a mission that is shared worldwide, with many countries having announced low-carbon pledges. William Nordhaus said that governments should increase investment in low-carbon technologies and research.

Hou Jinlong further expanded, "By pursuing innovations in clean power generation, energy digitalization, transportation electrification, green ICT infrastructure, and integrated smart energy, we are working with global customers and partners to build low-carbon homes, factories, campuses, villages, and cities."

As of September 30, 2021, Huawei Digital Power has helped customers generate 443.5 billion kWh of green power and save 13.6 billion kWh of electricity. This is equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by 210 million tons and planting 290 million trees.

Participants warned that geopolitics should not stand in the way of technological cooperation and innovation. Neil Bush expressed his concerns about growing global decoupling, "Many are embracing a dangerous zero-sum mentality that defies common sense. China’s success does not take away from ours, and vice versa." He added, "Particularly in the area of technology, when China and the United States collaborate, we can innovate in foundational and revolutionary ways."

International research cooperation has yielded scientific advances. Dr. Derrick Pitts noted the collaboration of seven countries in the International Brain Initiative, the Thirty Meter Telescope, and several other international scientific research cooperation projects. He highlighted that science flourishes best in a climate that encourages diversity and cross-domain partnerships.

Satvinder Singh delivered the closing remarks at the summit, speaking highly of the key role that private companies like Huawei play in inclusive and sustainable economic recovery across ASEAN and beyond.

Huawei Calls for Accelerated Green ICT Growth at Telecom Digital Power Summit APAC 2021

BANGKOK, Dec. 1, 2021 — Huawei Digital Power hosted the Telecom Digital Power Summit APAC 2021 online on November 26, welcoming over 600 viewers from 23 countries. Here, industry and business leaders shared their insights and experiences on carbon neutrality in telecommunication networks and data center facilities.


”Carbon neutrality has become a global consensus and mission. I believe it will be one of the biggest changes in the upcoming 30-40 years. It will not only revolutionize power production and consumption, but also bring opportunities to upgrade all industries as well as rethink our economy and society.” — said Dr. Fang Lianzhou, VP and CMO of Huawei Digital Power.

Carbon neutrality is a growing trend in the global fight against climate change. Huawei Telecom Digital Power Summit APAC 2021 provided a virtual platform to exchange experiences in reducing both carbon emissions and OPEX, helping partners and customers digitalize their energy and go carbon neutral.

The global ICT industry consumed over 570 billion kWh of electricity in 2020 and the figure is expected to reach 1.85 trillion kWh in 2030. In addition, data center facilities and telecommunication networks were responsible for 160 million tons and 146 million tons of carbon emissions in 2020, respectively. It is therefore undeniable that the ICT industry will need to play a major role in reaching carbon neutrality targets.

The Summit looked at the foundation of building green telecommunication networks and data center facilities. Speakers shared their insights, tips, and best practices. Plus, viewers from around the world glimpsed the latest green energy facilities for telecommunication networks and data centers, global best practices, and innovative solutions for new building facilities and modernization.

Ms. Yoly Crisanto, CSO of Globe Telecom — one of the largest and most advanced telecommunication operators in Asia Pacific, shared her experience in 5G deployment and site digitalization. Globe works to actively contribute to 10 out of 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. This includes several carbon emissions management strategies, such as deploying over 7400 green solutions across the network and modifying 13 key building facilities in the Philippines to run on clean energy. Ms. Crisanto also explained that Globe is significantly reducing its carbon emissions through green energy transformation. Globe Telecom has set a remarkable example for telecommunication operators worldwide, aiming to reduce carbon emissions by 57% or 0.57 million tons by 2030.

Sanjay Kr Sainani, Global SVP & CTO of Huawei Digital Power highlighted key technologies for reduced Carbon Footprint in Data Centers. He said:  "Prefabricated & Modular Construction allow use of recyclable materials, reduced consumption & wastage and shortens time to deploy Data Center Facilities. Huawei has pioneered high efficiency converged power & cooling systems, embedded IoT, AI enabled O&M technologies that have been successfully implemented in Data Centers from China to Ireland to help reduce Data Center life-cycle Carbon footprint"

After the keynote sessions, the audience took a virtual tour of the Huawei Digital Power Innovation Experience Center, learning about the latest digital power solutions as well as the next-generation data center and telecommunication sites in Dongguan and Hangzhou.

The half-day summit brought global audiences together with industry and business leaders. Participants explored innovative solutions in the power industry along with case studies that have adopted leading power technologies in the ICT industry.

Carbon neutrality cannot be achieved if we work alone. Collective efforts are necessary. The impressive turnout at this summit has highlighted global interest in green energy. In response to market demand and increasing push toward clean energy, Huawei will continue to work with customers and partners to integrate and innovate power electronics, energy storage, cloud, and digital technologies to build a better, greener, and smarter world.

Huawei’s CSIC was designed as an Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Hub and Centre of Excellence to drive the industry’s open ecosystem and accelerate digital economy transformation in Malaysia.

The CSIC, located in Integra Tower at the heart of Kuala Lumpur, aggregates the company’s over 120 reference applications and services globally.

Huawei’s customers and partners are able to leverage this innovative platform to design and test technology solutions, verify new business models, and nurture innovation applications and services to both the public and private sectors.

Present during the ceremony was Chief Executive Officer of Huawei Malaysia, Mr Michael Yuan.

Delivering the keynote address during the launch, Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri said the CSIC is a testament to Huawei Malaysia’s commitment to the nation’s digital transformation.

"Thank you Huawei for accelerating digital transformation and strengthening the development of Malaysia’s innovative platforms since 20 years ago. For that, I would like to wish Huawei a Happy 20th Anniversary! We will always appreciate and value your contribution towards the nation’s digital talent development.

"I was informed that most of Huawei Malaysia’s employees are local. Talents are a crucial part in accelerating digital transformation for the nation," he said.

CEO of Huawei Malaysia, Mr Yuan, meanwhile, said that through the CSIC, they would continue to bring global experiences to serve the needs of the ICT industry in Malaysia and to assist local stakeholders in succeeding in their businesses.

"This centre will act as a catalyst to accelerate Malaysia’s digital transformation and to capitalise on the potential of advanced technologies and assist in driving investments in the digital economy for the nation at the same time," added Mr Yuan.

He further pointed out, "It is our belief that a better-connected Malaysia will have a prosperous future. We are currently in a period where ubiquitous connectivity is no longer a luxury, but a vital requirement for a country to achieve fully developed status. Therefore, we look forward to growing together with Malaysia, to playing an integral part in the nation’s technology-based economy and to building a better future for all Malaysians,"

Among the business-to-business solutions available and showcased at the CSIC included Huawei’s 5G solutions around the world, including those for Smart Cities and autonomous vehicles as well as Huawei’s Smart Education system, including hybrid learning, which increases participation and engagement between students and teachers, and allows for some students attending class in-person while others join virtually.
