On December 8, 2025, Huawei Mobile Services held a prestigious awards ceremony in Istanbul dedicated to honoring Turkey's leading app developers and watch face designers. This event recognized the outstanding contributions these innovators have made to Huawei's wearable ecosystem, highlighting the significant role they play in the advancement of technology and creativity.

Wan Fei, Director of Huawei's Consumer Business Group in Turkey, emphasized the importance of this recognition. He stated, "Today's awards celebrate not only creativity and technical excellence but also the spirit of innovation that propels our wearable device ecosystem forward. Turkish developers and designers have showcased remarkable vision and talent, and we believe their contributions will inspire new possibilities across Europe. Together, we are building a future where technology enhances creativity and connects people in meaningful ways."

Turkey boasts a vibrant creative community and an expanding user base for wearable devices, positioning it as a cornerstone of Huawei's global vision. Through collaboration and recognition of local talent, Huawei strengthens partnerships, working closely with artists and developers to provide users worldwide with richer and more personalized experiences.

Shan Xuefeng, Vice President of Consumer Cloud Services in Europe, commented on the initiative's significance: "This initiative reflects our commitment to supporting local talent and fostering innovation across Europe. By recognizing Turkish developers and designers, we are not only celebrating creativity but also building a stronger ecosystem that brings personalized, cutting-edge experiences to our global users."

The awards also honored three exceptional partners: Akbank, Garanti BBVA, and Turkish Technology, a subsidiary of Turkish Airlines, for their extraordinary contributions to Huawei’s wearable device ecosystem. Their commitment to innovation and customer experience corresponds with a shared vision of creating a smarter and more connected lifestyle for everyone.

Huawei holds a leading position in the wearable electronics market, retaining its number one spot in the global market with a share of 20.2% for the second consecutive quarter, according to IDC. The company's commitment to supporting innovation through strategic partnerships was evident during the ceremony, highlighting an open and interconnected ecosystem that empowers developers and designers to innovate and connect with a global audience, particularly in the creative space of watch face design, drawing from Turkey's renowned design heritage.
