Huawei Cloud: The Catalyst for AI-Driven Transformation in Asia Pacific
May 13, 2025, 11:25 am
In the heart of Phuket, Thailand, a technological revolution is brewing. Huawei Cloud recently hosted its APAC Partner Summit 2025, a gathering that felt more like a tech renaissance than a mere conference. Over 400 partners from more than ten countries converged to explore the vast potential of artificial intelligence (AI) across various industries. The theme, "Go Together, Grow Together," resonated deeply, emphasizing collaboration as the cornerstone of progress.
Huawei Cloud is not just a player in the cloud service arena; it’s a maestro orchestrating a symphony of innovation. The company is laser-focused on harnessing AI to transform industries ranging from finance to government. Jacqueline Shi, President of Huawei Cloud Global Marketing and Sales Service, laid out a vision of collaboration that aims to seize strategic AI opportunities in the Asia Pacific region. The demand for accelerated AI deployment is surging, and Huawei Cloud is stepping up to meet this challenge.
The company has made significant strides in enhancing its AI cloud service products. By co-developing industry-specific solutions with partners, Huawei Cloud is not just expanding its market reach; it’s redefining what’s possible in the digital landscape. A dedicated competence center in Asia Pacific is a testament to this commitment. This center is designed to build a robust framework for partners, offering technical training and collaborative market initiatives. It’s like a lighthouse guiding partners through the fog of digital transformation.
The Asia Pacific region is a hotbed of technological innovation. Huawei Cloud has recognized this and prioritized localization and technological advancement. With five regions and 18 availability zones, the company boasts a low-latency network that spans the region. This infrastructure is not just impressive; it’s a game-changer. In the past five years, Huawei Cloud's business scale has grown thirtyfold, making it the fastest-growing cloud service provider in Asia Pacific. The numbers speak volumes: partner revenue surged by 75% in 2024 alone.
Sunny Shang, President of Huawei Cloud Asia Pacific, highlighted the importance of a strong ecosystem. Partners are not just participants; they are the driving force behind Huawei Cloud’s sustained growth. The newly unveiled Partner Sales Acceleration Program 2.0 is a comprehensive initiative designed to empower partners. It focuses on technological innovation, capability enhancement, and resource sharing. This program is akin to a turbocharger for partner growth, providing millions of dollars in test coupons and a threefold increase in market development fund investments.
To further accelerate growth in key industries, Huawei Cloud launched the Industry Deep-Dive Initiative. This initiative zeroes in on the Internet, finance, and carrier sectors, aiming to construct a collaborative digital ecosystem. The goal is to explore industry value through scenario-specific innovation. It’s about building bridges, not walls.
AI is the heartbeat of this transformation. Huawei Cloud is committed to creating AI-native cloud services, driving intelligent upgrades through its "Cloud for AI" and "AI for Cloud" strategies. The company offers a suite of capabilities designed to support customers' intelligent transformation. From high-quality cloud services to seamless cloud-network-device synergy, Huawei Cloud is equipping enterprises to integrate AI into their core processes.
William Fang, Chief Product Officer, elaborated on how Huawei Cloud is reshaping cloud infrastructure. The introduction of AI-native infrastructure, such as CloudMatrix, is a significant leap forward. This infrastructure is designed to meet the demands of massive computing power, enabling enterprises to scale their AI services effortlessly. With new AI computing centers strategically located in Asia Pacific, Huawei Cloud is empowering businesses to harness the full potential of AI.
At the summit, Huawei Cloud also unveiled the APAC AI Pioneer Plan. This initiative aims to foster AI technology innovation and solution development in collaboration with ecosystem partners. It’s a clarion call for widespread AI adoption across the region.
A thriving ecosystem is essential for maintaining a competitive edge in the AI era. Ken Kang, President of Huawei Cloud Global Ecosystem, emphasized that the AI ecosystem will shape the future of the intelligent world. Huawei Cloud’s long-term investments in core technologies and ecosystem building are focused on creating an open, full-stack ecosystem. This strategy empowers partners with unique competitiveness, driving cross-industry AI applications and unlocking significant growth potential.
The recent signing of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with Silverlake and GlobeOSS further solidifies Huawei Cloud’s commitment to innovation. These partnerships aim to revolutionize core banking and big data solutions, providing customers with comprehensive offerings. By integrating financial technology expertise with Huawei’s cloud infrastructure, Silverlake aims to reshape banking operations and enhance cybersecurity. Meanwhile, GlobeOSS will leverage Huawei Cloud’s big data platforms to develop tailored solutions for various sectors, including finance and government.
The collaboration with these industry leaders marks a deepening partnership that fuels technological innovation. It’s a testament to Huawei Cloud’s strategy of fostering close cooperation within its ecosystem. This approach not only accelerates digital transformation but also strengthens the momentum for global change.
As Huawei Cloud continues to cultivate a healthy and sustainable ecosystem, it stands as a beacon of innovation in the Asia Pacific region. With over 45,000 partners and a commitment to local needs, Huawei Cloud is not just participating in the digital revolution; it’s leading it. The future is bright, and the journey has just begun. In this era of AI, Huawei Cloud is not merely a service provider; it’s a catalyst for transformation, propelling industries into a new age of intelligence.
