Huawei yesterday announced it will press ahead with TECH4ALL to help another 500 million people benefit from digital technology in the next five years. Huawei's Deputy Chairman, Ken Hu, during his speech at the TECH4ALL Summit, reiterated that 'digital inclusion means using digital technology to promote inclusive development and leaving no person, home, or organisation behind.
With this year's theme, 'How Inclusive Innovation Can Empower the World, Hu also called on more individuals and organisations to join Huawei in addressing global issues related to healthcare, education, development, and the environment.
'Digital technology is reshaping the world. We want it to benefit everyone and we want digital inclusion for all. In this regard, technology is the foundation, applications are the key, and skills provide assurance. Hu said. He added that TECH4ALL will focus on three areas including technology, applications, and skills.
Hu said Huawei will continuously reduce connection costs and remove coverage barriers through technological innovation in connectivity, AI, cloud, and mobile devices. Huawei will also empower ecosystems and help developers create more applications for different communities and industries. 'We will also work with local governments, communities, and other sectors to enhance the digital skills of all of society, he added.
Huawei also identified four domains in which it could comprehensively promote digital inclusion. These will include using digital technology to give more people easy access to better healthcare resources; and using technology to give the disadvantaged, such as women and teenagers, equal access to education and enrich education resources. Huawei also seeks to eliminate development gaps for various sectors, businesses, regions, and groups, ensuring equal access to digital resources and enabling technology to benefit everyone. And finally, it will use innovative technologies to help NGOs more efficiently protect and conserve ecosystems.
As of today, Huawei has ensured smooth communications for more than three billion people around the world, and supported the stable operations of more than 1,500 networks in more than 170 countries and regions. Hu said that in the next five years, the company will help another 500 million people benefit from digital technology. These benefits will not be limited to connectivity, also including the benefits of technologies like AI, cloud, and smart devices as well as related applications and skills.
Currently, Huawei is working with many international NGOs to address problems related to healthcare, education, development, and the environment on a much bigger scale.
