Huawei's Collaborative Vision for a Smarter and Greener Europe

On November 4, 2025, notable professionals from technology sectors and Huawei’s partners convened in Madrid for the 10th edition of the Huawei Connect Europe event. This year’s theme, "A Much Smarter and Greener Europe," emphasized the role of artificial intelligence and other technologies in accelerating Europe's digital and green transformation.

David Wang, Huawei's Executive Director of the Board, delivered a compelling speech at the event, stating, "The intelligent world is approaching faster than we ever imagined." He discussed the immense impact that technologies like AI and 5G will have on various sectors including education, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. Wang projected that within five years, AI alone could contribute a staggering $22.3 trillion to the global economy.

With the next decade deemed crucial for dual transformation across Europe, Wang reiterated Huawei’s commitment, stating, "Our dedication to Europe, for Europe, remains strong." Through an extensive network of research and development centers, innovative labs, manufacturing bases, and supply chain centers, Huawei aims to support local customers in their transitions toward digital and green technologies. Working together with European partners, Huawei is determined to turn this shared vision into a lasting growth opportunity, thereby fostering a smarter and more eco-friendly Europe.

Commitment to Innovation and Sustainability

Leo Chen, Senior Vice President at Huawei, echoed this commitment. He highlighted the company's investments in technological innovations, ecosystem partnerships, and talent development as essential for driving the continent's digital and intelligent transformation. "Together, we can build a smarter and sustainable Europe," Chen remarked during his keynote address.

One significant launch was the HUAWEI eKit 4+10+N SME Intelligence Solutions, which focuses on four key areas: smart offices, smart enterprises, smart education, and smart healthcare. Such solutions are aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises, helping them embrace new technologies and enabling the final phase of the intelligent world.
