Empowering Talent for a Smart Future at MWC 2025

During the Mobile World Congress 2025 (MWC 2025), held in Barcelona, Huawei successfully hosted the Digital Intelligence Talent Development Forum, gathering over 100 global clients. This forum was pivotal as it unveiled Huawei’s Digital Intelligence Talent Development Service Solution 2.0, which aims to redefine how organizations interact with talent and technology.

Keynote Insights

Jason Liu, the President of Huawei Learning and Certification Services, opened the forum with a critical perspective on the future of work. Liu raised three fundamental questions to address the evolving landscape where human and AI collaboration is paramount:
1. How do we collaborate between humans and AI agents?
2. How do we train the experts behind expert models?
3. How do we build a continuously learning team?

He elaborated on four significant perspectives:

• - Amplifying Productivity through Collaboration: The trend in work is shifting from a human-centric approach to one that increasingly values collaboration between humans and machines. This new dynamic promotes exponential productivity gains.

• - Need for Holistic Talent: Liu emphasized the necessity of comprehensive talent development, moving away from the traditional ‘T-shaped talent’ model toward a more versatile ‘π-shaped talent’ model—highlighting deep integration of Digital Information and Communication Technology (DICT) and Operational Technology (OT).

• - Personalized Learning Experiences: The forum introduced the 6A Learning Experience, which focuses on providing an immersive learning environment available anytime, anywhere, and on any device, supported by an AI learning co-pilot.

• - Learning as Productivity: Liu underscored that learning capacity directly contributes to productivity. By employing effective knowledge management strategies and employing AI tools, organizations can build capable teams that continuously enhance their productivity.

Initiatives to Foster Talent

In line with its goals, Huawei announced two ambitious initiatives for talent cultivation scheduled for 2025:

• - A TIC Elite Project aimed at business clients, which will create learning opportunities in the field of telecommunications and information technology.
• - A Technology Leadership Talent Cultivation Project intended for university students.

Juanvi Martínez, business director at Mercer in Spain, emphasized the importance of perpetual learning and adaptability in employees to meet changing demands in the AI-driven workplace.

Furthermore, Ian Holloway from TM Forum reinforced the significance of a robust framework of talent standards and norms, suggesting they could facilitate sustained growth and expansion for organizations amidst evolving technological landscapes.

Collaborative Efforts and Expanding Influence

Antonio de Luis Acevedo, head of FUNDAE in Spain, shared insights on the national strategy for developing TIC talent, stressing the need for collaborative efforts. Since their partnership began in 2019, over 200,000 professionals have participated in Huawei’s training courses.

In 2024, FUNDAE collaborated once again with Huawei to enhance digital competencies through the Academy of Spain initiative.

Loreevi Gail O. Mercado, director of HR for the PLDT/Smart Group in the Philippines, discussed their methodical approach to talent development through three academies designed to prepare employees for future-oriented roles.

Rumeysa Kaymakci from Turkcell Academy highlighted that digital transformation transcends mere technological advancement, underlining talent's vital role in facilitating this transformation. Their implementation of the Technical Leadership Program and the Digital Master Program showcases a commitment to swiftly advancing digital transformation among employees.

Launch of the Talent Development Services Solution 2.0

The highlight of the forum was the launch of Huawei's Digital Intelligence Talent Development Service Solution 2.0, setting forth a new standard for talent expectations, competency models, and user experiences. This initiative is aimed at equipping clients with the necessary tools to foster a workforce capable of driving effective digital transformations.

As the discourse around learning and productivity evolves, Huawei continues its commitment to nurturing well-rounded talent adapted to the demands of the AI era. Through collaboration and innovative educational strategies, Huawei envisions a future where both individuals and organizations flourish in this new era of intelligence.
