Developer competitions: Working with developers to nurture foundational technology ecosystems
As a premier ecosystem development platform, the Huawei Developer Competition is our flagship event for global developers (including those from universities and enterprises and individual developers) across multiple fields. Since its launch in 2017, the event has attracted 800,000 developers from over 3,000 universities in more than 50 countries. Themed "Spark Infinity", the competition features diverse tracks, including algorithms, programming, and applications, providing participants with access to Huawei's ICT solutions and practical experience. Through this event, we aim to help participants acquire essential knowledge and skills while fostering industry-academia collaboration. We also look to drive innovation, find new solutions to real-world problems, and incubate startups that create real social value. Using Huawei's platforms, computing power, and data, the competition supports AI talent development and helps developers and Huawei jointly build thriving foundational technology ecosystems, such as Kunpeng, Ascend, HarmonyOS, and cloud-native ecosystems.

The HarmonyOS Developer Contest, also known as the HarmonyOS Innovation Contest, encourages developers to innovate based on the latest HarmonyOS technologies and develop cross-device HarmonyOS applications and atomic services that can offer brand-new interactive experiences and provide consumers with a more secure, smooth, and intelligent service experience. Since its launch in 2019, over 50,000 applicants have signed up for the contest, generating more than 10,000 innovative solutions. Furthermore, Huawei has provided these developers with rewards worth more than CNY35 million in total.
