This year's Huawei Developer Challenge was themed "Dream Big, Fly High". The contest aims to help developers use key technologies such as cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence (AI) to explore new ideas and incubate innovative solutions that address real needs. These applications cover 10 technical fields, including HUAWEI CLOUD, Internet of Things (IoT), CloudIVS, Big Data, Enterprise Cloud Communications, O&M Cloud Services, Media Cloud Services, Business Application Development Cloud, Industry Wireless Networks, and Intent-Driven Networks. A total of over 1,400 teams participated in the contest and submitted entries ranging from Smart City and public safety, to manufacturing, e-commerce, energy, transportation, and education.

The Developer Challenge ran for four months. Out of the 88 contest winners, 13 won first place, 24 won second place, and 51 came in third place. Based on their actual business needs, these award-winning entries deeply integrated with Huawei product capabilities, demonstrating innovative ideas and real business value. Many entries have even been put into commercial use and are delivering business results.

The Huawei Developer Program was launched at Huawei Developers Congress 2015, with the goal of providing a development platform to enable and innovate with developers. The first Developer Challenge was launched in 2016, helping outstanding developers gain an exposure to the market. Many entries have delivered fruitful business results. Huawei is now opening up its capabilities in a wider range of fields to developers, and is improving the developer technology platform. Developers can use Huawei's one-stop service development, testing, and deployment platforms to quickly develop business applications, and deploy their entries on Huawei Cloud to gain financial returns. During HC 2018, Huawei launched its AI Developer Enablement Program, geared for developers, partners, universities, and research institutes. Based on its full-stack, all-scenario AI portfolio, Huawei is stepping up efforts in building a developer ecosystem, aiming to provide support for developers from all aspects such as AI resources, platform support, course enablement, and joint solutions. Its ultimate goal is to build an inclusive AI ecosystem that is affordable, effective, and reliable.

Patrick Zhang, President of Huawei Marketing & Solutions Dept, noted, "Industry innovations are changing the world we live in. The arrival of the intelligent world will bring exciting opportunities for industries to grow and develop. At this year's HUAWEI CONNECT, Huawei released its AI strategy and full-stack, all-scenario AI portfolio.
