The forum highlighted Huawei’s commitment to empowering educational institutions through digital transformation, innovation, and inclusivity, alongside the launch of its latest ICT Skills Development Insight Reports in collaboration with UNESCO IITE.
The event brought together leading educators, policymakers, and technology experts to explore how AI and advanced ICT infrastructure can revolutionize learning environments. The discussions underscored the role of digital education in driving social and economic progress across the Middle East and globally.
Peter Zhang, Vice President of Huawei Global Public Business Unit, opened the forum, emphasizing Huawei’s dedication to building a digitally inclusive education ecosystem. This was followed by a presentation from Alexander Michael, Global Vice President and ICT Advisory at Frost & Sullivan, who discussed the profound impact of AI in reshaping education and workforce development.
Mehedi Hasan Limon, Vice President of Huawei Middle East and Central Asia Public Sector, unveiled “A New Blueprint for Intelligent Education,” centered around Huawei’s Smart Education 1+3 All-Scenario Solution. The framework focuses on four key pillars — Digital Training, Smart Classroom, Smart Campus, and Scientific Research — integrating Cloud, AI, and Big Data to foster efficient, inclusive, and connected learning environments.
