From Promise to Impact
TECH Cares Forum
March 1, 2026
Barcelona, Spain
直播将于11月21日 16:00 开始
Forum Introduction
The AI era offers life-changing opportunities for all – but only if we can all access those opportunities. Huawei is committed to bringing the benefits of the intelligent world to everyone, connecting the unconnected, providing inclusive services and promoting essential digital skills.
Because innovation has to do more than trigger economic efficiencies. Tech has to care.
Together with representatives from governments, international organizations, clients, and partners, we explored how new digital capabilities offer a springboard to shared, sustainable growth at our TECH Cares Forum on March 1st at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
