Where Technology Innovation Meets Business Needs
Intelligence is now an established trend and a core driver for enterprise innovation and growth. While many customers have embraced cloud, the proliferation of SaaS tools has often led to data silos. The key challenge in the intelligent era is how to more effectively leverage the data accumulated on the cloud.
Aka Dai, Director of Huawei Cloud Marketing, introduced Huawei Cloud's full-stack innovation for the intelligent era, offering one-stop service capabilities that enable customers to fully utilize data and intelligence in the cloud. This encompasses several critical aspects. First, the integration of data and intelligence helps customers use data more wisely. For example, Huawei Cloud's data engineering service and KooSearch Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solution enable enterprises to fully unleash the potential of their data. Second, Huawei Cloud infuses intelligence across business functions—including R&D, production, supply, and sales—helping organizations turn innovative ideas into tangible results through Huawei Cloud's cloud services and toolchains. At the application innovation level, Huawei Cloud provides CodeArts, a one-stop DevSecOps platform. This platform supports the entire lifecycle of software development and incorporates AI features. For example, CodeArts Doer for Coding can autonomously generate, explain, check, and comment on code, significantly boosting software development efficiency.

Building an Innovation Powerhouse Together
Singapore plays a vital role bridging East and West. Similarly, Huawei Cloud serves as a global platform powered with an open, versatile ecosystem comprising 500 technology partners and 50 service partners in Singapore.
Huawei Cloud brings new technologies to Singapore and helps Singaporean partners expand globally. For example, Singaporean local partner WIZ.AI has deepened its cooperation with Huawei Cloud, expanding its business into the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia. China's leading fintech company, Sunline, has also established a presence in Singapore, with its customer service fully validated in the local market.
Huawei Cloud is also committed to integrating technological innovation in everyday life, nature conservation, and sustainable development. Frank Guo, Managing Director of Huawei International, shared several cases illustrating the tangible impact of the "Cloud for Good" philosophy. Naturally, this effort hinges on digital talent. In Singapore, Huawei is actively promoting the next generation of innovators through initiatives like Tech4City, which encouragesyouth and startups to apply technology for public good. A notable example is SafeGuardSG, an emergency response platform developed by local students which uses AI to improve real-time coordination and community safety. FingerDance, a startup supported by Huawei Cloud's incubator, has collaborated with SBS Transit and jointly launched the Sign Language Virtual Assistant SiLVia. SiLViA is being trialled at the North East Line Chinatown MRT Station in Singapore, helping hard-of-hearing commuters to travel independently and safely on public transport. PrimePlay, the winner of Huawei Tech4City 2024, combines games and sensing devices to create a more engaging and effective fitness experience for seniors. Moving forward, Huawei Cloud will continue to collaborate with more customers and partners to accelerate Singapore's digitalization in healthcare, green and low-carbon development, and digital talent cultivation.
