Huawei has showcased its latest artificial intelligence (AI) innovations, next-generation connectivity solutions and cloud infrastructure at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Doha 2026, reinforcing its commitment to supporting Qatar's digital transformation and the development of a resilient digital economy.

The event, held from November 8 to 10 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC), saw Huawei participate as the Headline Sponsor under the theme ‘Advancing All Intelligence and Resilience’. The company presented its latest developments in intelligent connectivity, industry-specific AI applications and cloud technologies while engaging with industry leaders and strengthening strategic partnerships.

A key highlight was the keynote address titled ‘The Infrastructure of Intelligence’, delivered by Liu Kang, President of ICT Marketing and Solution Sales at Huawei. He discussed how the rapid development of AI is transforming digital infrastructure requirements and creating new opportunities for telecommunications operators.

Liu emphasised that computing power determines the depth of intelligence, while connectivity determines its reach. He highlighted the importance of next-generation networks in unlocking AI's potential and supporting intelligent services at scale.

Huawei also showcased its contribution to Qatar's next-generation connectivity ambitions through advanced technology trials conducted by the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) in collaboration with Ooredoo Qatar and Vodafone Qatar.

Presented at the State of Qatar Pavilion, the trials demonstrated improvements in mobile network speed, capacity and performance using Huawei's 256T256R RetinaMIMO U6GHz VitaAAU technology. The initiative builds on CRA's Qatar 6G Testbed Platform and represents progress towards the development of next-generation 6G networks.

Lin Jincan, President of Huawei's GCC Region, said the company remains committed to supporting Qatar's digital ambitions through advances in AI, connectivity and resilient infrastructure. He added that collaboration with customers and industry partners would help align global technological developments with Qatar's evolving digital requirements and support its transition towards a knowledge-based economy under Qatar National Vision 2030.

Strategic partnerships and industry collaboration

During the three-day event, Huawei participated in major industry discussions, including the Smart Mobility Summit and the Future Networks Summit. Company experts shared insights into intelligent mobility, connected ecosystems, network evolution and the development of 6G technologies.

Huawei also signed two strategic Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) to strengthen its collaboration with Qatar's technology ecosystem.

The agreement with Fadaat Media aims to support its Mourakeb platform through advanced cloud infrastructure, while the agreement with Qshield reinforces a strategic partnership spanning 12 years. Both agreements reflect Huawei's efforts to support technological innovation and long-term digital development in Qatar.

Throughout MWC Doha 2026, the company demonstrated how its Connectivity and AItoX portfolios, alongside Huawei Cloud capabilities, can help telecommunications operators, businesses and government entities improve digital experiences, enhance operational efficiency and accelerate AI adoption across industries.
