This year's show was very special as we welcomed thousands of Industry leaders, partners, and visitors from around the world to our booth to experience our world-leading end-to-end solutions that address diverse ICT needs of public and private sectors alike. Huawei will continue to work with its partners to drive ongoing industry innovation and create scenario-based solutions for diverse customer needs to allow them go the 'last mile' of their digital transformation."

Huawei believes the biggest value it can bring to advance the green agenda is to use continuous technology innovation to help all industries enhance ICT infrastructure energy efficiency and achieve low-carbon development.
