Islamabad: Huawei is building a robust ICT talent ecosystem and accelerating the digitalisation progress of the world by launching more Huawei ICT Academies, releasing talent white papers and holding the Huawei ICT Competition.

The global platform offers youth the opportunity to apply their tech knowledge, accelerate their learning and network with their peers globally.

The 2023-24 edition of the Huawei ICT Competition, developed for university and college students globally, has been launched to promote the healthy development of the ICT talent ecosystem and support the integration of industry and education.

Some of Pakistan’s brightest young minds participated in the ICT Competition last year, where students from Pakistan won the second and third prizes in the Network Track and the Innovation Track at the Huawei ICT Competition 2022-23 Global Final concluded at Huawei Headquarters in Shenzhen, China.

Globally, over 120,000 students and 2,200 colleges and universities in 85 countries and regions have joined the Huawei ICT Competition in the four forward-looking competition tracks.

With an eye on the future, the competition tracks are: the network track for IP technologies, datacom, security, and WLAN; the cloud track focuses on IT technologies such as cloud, big data, and AI; the computing track for software and OS such as open Euler, open Gauss, and Kunpeng; and the innovation track will look for innovative solutions using AI, harmony OS, IoT, and cloud and big data.

Together with the Huawei ICT Academy, the Huawei Innovation Competition, the Seeds for the Future programme, joint university labs, and other initiatives, thousands of young people in the region benefit from an advanced skills development pipeline every year, equipping them with the necessary skills to lead digital transformation and development efforts within their countries.
