10 Letter from the Rotating and Acting CEO
Letter from the Rotating and Acting CEO
A driving force to move the world forward
Connect closely to the world
As everything becomes increasingly connected, it
is difficult to imagine a time without networks or
an instantaneous flow of information, just as 20
years ago we could not imagine that information
would so rapidly and profoundly change how we
live and work today.
As an important contributor to these historical
changes, Huawei has never been more closely
connected to the world than it is now. This level
of connectivity has two implications. First, ICT
technologies have been deployed in more than
170 countries and regions, helping more than 3
billion people connect to the world, communicate
anytime, anywhere, and easily acquire and share
information. Second, this connected world
is reshaping politics, economics, business, and
production at an incredible speed and with
formidable force.
For the past two decades, together with our
customers and partners, we have created a
stably connected world. In the future, we
will continue to be dedicated to our vision
as we endeavor to become the leader of the
ICT infrastructure industry and create greater
value for our customers. We seek to make this
connected world a better place to live and
open the door for infinite opportunities and
possibilities.
ICT technologies – Huawei’s area of focus for the
past 25 years – are changing from a support system
that improves work efficiency to a production
system that drives value creation. The result is
that individuals, businesses, and organizations
will become increasingly dependent on new
business models, new orders, and new patterns
for collaborative innovation and cross-boundary
sharing.
Provide connectivity
By adapting to and staying at the forefront of
industry trends over the past 25 years, we have
narrowed the gap with our peers and become a
top three player in the global market, fulfilling a
dream our founder Mr. Ren Zhengfei set out in
the company’s early days. Our efforts have made
Huawei what it is today, helped our employees
achieve their dreams, and, more importantly,
contributed significantly to society and the progress
of civilization.
