Huawei has launched its “African Intelligence Pioneers” recognition programme in Shanghai, honouring 14 African organisations across nine sectors for using artificial intelligence and cloud technologies to address local challenges. The recognition was announced alongside HUAWEI CONNECT 2025, which brought together more than 500 partners, government representatives and industry leaders to discuss ICT innovation under the theme “All Intelligence for New Africa.” The recognised sectors include public administration, telecommunications, education, healthcare, oil and gas, mining, transport, energy and finance.
Shen Li, President of Huawei Northern Africa, said Africa was at an important stage in its transition towards a more digital and intelligent economy. Huawei outlined a three-pillar strategy for the continent centred on New Value, New Infrastructure and New Ecosystem, with a focus on connectivity, education, government services, security, energy, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and partnerships with customers and local talent.
The recognition programme reflects the growing adoption of AI and cloud technologies across Africa as organisations seek to improve services, efficiency and digital access. Huawei said it would continue working with African organisations, governments and industry partners to support digital transformation and build an ecosystem capable of addressing the continent’s evolving technology needs.
