learning through competition and inspiring innovation through
competition, we have continuously evolved the design of competition
topics. The Practice Competition aligns with our vision for an
Intelligent World 2030 and encourages students to master
cloud computing, big data, and AI to drive social progress. The
Innovation Competition focuses on green development and digital
inclusion, motivating participants to solve real-world challenges
in sectors like agriculture, healthcare, and education through
ICT."
As digital transformation is accelerating globally, the demand
for skilled professionals in fields such as AI, big data, and
cybersecurity continues to grow. However, the shortage of talent in
these critical areas is becoming increasingly evident. To help
tackle this challenge, the Huawei ICT Competition features multiple
tracks — including Practice, Innovation, and Programming —
alongside initiatives such as industry-academia collaboration and
tailored curriculum development. These efforts aim to equip
students with in-demand skills and foster the next-generation tech
talent who will stand out in an increasingly intelligent and
digital world.
During this year's competition, Huawei also hosted the AI
Accelerating Education Transformation Summit, where experts
explored the pivotal role of AI in smart education. In addition,
Huawei officially announced the AI Capability of the Huawei ICT
Academy Intelligent Platform, making it easier and more efficient
for educators and students to use. This marks another step forward
in advancing educational digitalization.
