Huawei hosts international summit on “Green ICT for Green Development”

‘Better World Summit: Green ICT for Green Development’ was organized by Huawei, in partnership with Informa Tech, in Dubai. Industry leaders including Bob Cai, Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei’s Carrier Business Group, shared their insights at the summit.

Richard Mahony, Vice President of Service Provider Markets of Informa Tech; Dr. Dena Assaf, UN Resident Coordinator of the United Arab Emirates; Tommy Stadlen, Co-Founder of Giant Ventures; Dr. Ahmed Bin Ali, Corporate Communications SVP of Etisalat; Hervé Suquet, Group Energy SVP of Orange; Dirk Karl, Chief Procurement Officer of MTN; Tanveer Mohammad, SVP of Global Operation of Telenor; and Aaron Jiang, Vice President of Huawei Wireless Product Line delivered speeches at the event. The opening speech titled “Green ICT for Green Development” was given by Bob Cai, Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei’s Carrier Business Group, at the Better World Summit (BWS).

“As a leading global provider of ICT infrastructure and smart devices, Huawei incorporates green development into everything we do. We see this as part of our social responsibilities. In addition, Huawei is ready to become the best partner for operators in their efforts toward carbon neutrality,” said Cai. “With our innovative products and solutions, we will help operators cut carbon emissions and make their networks more energy efficient. We also want to work with operators and use ICT to better enable other industries to cut carbon emissions and become carbon neutral faster.”

“We believe the BWS in Dubai is a good beginning. Looking ahead, we will continue to work with our industry partners and operators to empower green development of all industries using our innovative technologies,” said Cai at the end of his speech.

Back in June 2021, the Network Carbon Intensity (NCI) initiative was jointly proposed by Huawei and Informa Tech to better manage and measure carbon reduction roadmaps. During this summit, Huawei reiterated its commitment to establish a platform for industry collaboration on green development. Huawei will keep striving to bring together industry partners and operators to share innovative technologies and latest practices in how to cut carbon emissions and contribute to a greener ICT industry.
