BARCELONA, Spain, March 8,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- During MWC Barcelona 2025,
the Ministry of Technology and Science of Zambia joined hands with Huawei in launching
the global showcase of Zambia's
smart village at the government industry forum titled Secured,
Sovereign & Synergized Network-Cloud Strategy Accelerating
National Digitalization. Over 200 industry leaders and
technical experts in public services gathered at the event to
discuss national transformation paths driven by digital
technologies.
In July 2024, the first smart
village site in Zambia was
successfully delivered after 30 days of construction. This project
has provided electricity and Internet access to the village as well
as achieving telemedicine and remote teaching.
Governments worldwide are accelerating the shift toward
AI-driven intelligent public service upgrades. During his speech,
Li Junfeng, Vice President of Huawei and CEO of Global Public
Sector BU, emphasized that the digital transformation of
governments is crucial for enhancing national capabilities and
improving the well-being of citizens. AI is emerging as a key
driver in this digital transformation. The extensive use of the
DeepSeek model signifies not just a technological advancement, but
also a fundamental shift in production dynamics. Huawei
collaborates with international partners to capitalize on
opportunities and propel digital government towards a smarter and
more sustainable future.
At the forum, Koh Hong-Eng,
Global Chief Public Services Industry Scientist of Huawei, invited
various guests to discuss national digital transformation. Felix C.
Mutati, Minister of Technology and Science of Zambia, mentioned that the Smart Villages
Project aligns seamlessly with Zambia's vision 2030. Through smart education,
we are not only empowering the next generation with knowledge but
also equipping them with the digital skills required to thrive in
the fourth industrial revolution. The digital transformation of
Zambia is not only about
technology — it is about the people, progress, and potential. It is
about empowering the communities, bridging inequalities, and
creating a future where every Zambian can contribute meaningfully
to national development.
Huawei adheres to the concept of "Accelerating the Intelligence
of Governments and Public Services, Building a Cognitive Society
Together", and is constantly broadening its business scenarios,
advancing the extensive use of digital technologies to achieve the
vision of "excellent governance, better livelihood, and heightened
economy", and support governments globally in establishing an
equitable, efficient, and sustainable digital society.
