The HDC 2026 Global Eco Summit: Empowering Partners in China and Beyond

On June 18, 2026, the HDC 2026 Global Eco Summit held in Dongguan brought together key ecosystem partners, brands, and developers. This year’s summit focused on how Huawei's innovative technologies are reshaping digital transactions and interactions in an increasingly connected world. The event emphasized collaboration in various sectors, including luxury retail, tourism, and digital platforms, showcasing how businesses leverage the Huawei ecosystem to foster innovation and growth.

A Hub of Innovation and Collaborative Strategy

The Huawei ecosystem has emerged as a robust platform allowing brands to effectively target the dynamic Chinese market. By employing advanced AI capabilities and in-depth consumer insights from Petal Ads, brands can connect with detailed audience profiles in real-time. This strategy includes tapping into affluent consumer segments, with over 22 million outbound travelers annually, of which 76% belong to middle and high-income brackets with a keen interest in luxury goods, technology, and upscale lifestyles.

One notable luxury brand demonstrated how utilizing Petal Ads' targeted approach manifested significant growth within China. Partnering with Huawei, the brand focused on the premium audience, particularly users of foldable smartphones, employing captivating graphics optimized for Huawei devices. Their campaigns garnered tens of millions of impressions accompanied by lofty click-through rates. This collaboration has expanded to in-store initiatives integrating the brand's heritage with Huawei's cutting-edge technology, emphasizing immersive experiences.

Additionally, a Southeast Asian tourism authority illustrated the effectiveness of intertwining media, content, gadgets, and offline experiences to appeal to the Chinese market. Through collaboration with Huawei, they utilized Petal Ads and Huawei Wearables to create an immersive travel journey for Chinese consumers. This included customizing watch faces that featured destination mascots and partnerships with key opinion leaders (KOLs). The campaign achieved hundreds of millions of engagement moments, significantly amplifying brand awareness and established the destination as a premier choice for outbound Chinese travelers.

Expanding Global Horizons with Overseas Partners

As cross-border travel and consumption continue to rise, overseas partners are increasingly adopting Huawei’s ecosystem to deliver seamless and locally relevant experiences to international users. A leading ticketing platform from Hong Kong showcased a pioneering partnership with Huawei to redefine entertainment and travel experiences for Chinese outbound travelers. By leveraging Huawei's hybrid architecture, local support, and 'Huawei Login' capabilities, the platform produced a robust cross-device application for concerts, sports events, and travel services throughout Hong Kong and Asia.

This comprehensive integration not only streamlines ticket purchases but also extends across the entire travel experience, allowing users to navigate using Petal Maps and stay connected through SkyTone – all within Huawei's ecosystem, creating a fluid and interconnected journey for consumers.

In Turkey, BonusFlaş, a smart wallet platform under Garanti BBVA, demonstrated the ecosystem's capacity for ensuring safe, seamless transactions. By incorporating contactless NFC payments into the HUAWEI WATCH 5, HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 series, and other NFC-enabled wearables, users could make secure transactions with a simple tap at millions of points of sale across Turkey. The improved platform aggregates cards, digital payment methods, exclusive offers, and popular brands into a user-friendly interface, setting a remarkable standard for fintech and wearable collaborations in Turkey.

A Collaborative Future Ahead

The HDC 2026 Global Eco Summit reaffirmed Huawei's commitment as a global bridge focused on collaboration, connecting brands, developers, and consumers aiming for mutual growth. As cross-border trade and travel flourish, Huawei stands ready to support its partners with innovative technologies and a comprehensive ecosystem. The call to action extended to all global brands, developers, and ecosystem partners to collaborate and shape a fully connected, intelligent world, turning cross-border challenges into opportunities.
