Σco Time丨Huawei Ecological University has started! The first show focuses on the application of blockchain in epidemic prevention and control

[Original article from 51CTO.com] In order to enable ecosystem partners to keep abreast of the future value trends, developments, and investment opportunities of ICT technology during the epidemic, and to deepen their understanding of industry applications, at 3 pm on March 12, 2020, Huawei Ecological University invited Dr. Chen Zhong, professor at the School of Information Science and Technology of Peking University and director of the Blockchain Research Center, to be a guest in the "Σco Time" live broadcast room. He explained blockchain-related policies and application practices during the epidemic to more than 5,000 ecosystem partners who signed up to watch the live broadcast, which was well received by Huawei ecosystem partners.

The blockchain ecosystem is taking shape

Dr. Chen Zhong said that he had given many speeches on blockchain before, but this time was different. He made adjustments based on the issues that Huawei's partners were most concerned about before, and focused on the development prospects and innovative applications of blockchain technology.

He said that the government's top priority for blockchain is to strengthen basic research, enhance original innovation capabilities, occupy the commanding heights of innovation, and gain new industrial advantages. "Blockchain is not an isolated technology application. Its promotion and application actually need to play a role in building the blockchain industry ecosystem and in integrated applications." Dr. Chen Zhong pointed out, "In the future, my country will build a blockchain industry ecosystem, accelerate the deep integration of blockchain with cutting-edge information technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of Things, and promote integrated innovation and integrated applications."

He also emphasized that blockchain, as a scientific and technological means, will play an important role in supporting social governance, national governance, the establishment of a national governance system, and the modernization of governance capabilities in the future. At present, the role of blockchain in reconstructing trust and establishing new production relations has become prominent, which deserves everyone's attention and attention.

　　During the anti-epidemic period, blockchain reconstructs the foundation of charity trust

When introducing the application practices of blockchain, Dr. Chen Zhong talked about the many applications of blockchain in the fields of financial supervision, government affairs, and enterprise data security. He particularly emphasized the practical application of blockchain during the fight against the epidemic.

In the early stage of epidemic prevention and control, the donation and allocation of medical supplies caused a lot of doubts due to the opacity of work, inadequate supervision, and untimely reporting. Therefore, based on the domestically produced independent and controllable blockchain core technology, the relevant departments launched a neutral, credible, and open public welfare platform for the storage of medical supplies donation information, so as to store donation information, track the use of donated materials including funds, make the process supervised, and report to donors in real time. In the future, it is also planned to further regulate the charity industry and rebuild people's trust in it.

Regarding the future development of blockchain, Dr. Chen Zhong said that currently blockchain is taking the form of open source community autonomy, and there are not many companies in our country that truly develop the underlying blockchain technology. "Artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, and big data in the information society play an important role in improving productivity, changing processing objects, and transforming means of production. Blockchain will play a unique role in reconstructing means of production." He pointed out that people have begun to realize that going online, on the cloud, and on the blockchain is not only about informatization, but will also transform social governance and the economic structure of society. Therefore, he personally believes that the realization of China's fifth modernization (modernization of social governance) is inseparable from the role of blockchain.

In the live broadcast room, more than 5,000 partners who signed up to watch the live broadcast were very enthusiastic, and the comment area was frequently flooded with questions. After the speech, Dr. Chen Zhong also set aside time for questions and answers to answer questions from Huawei partners.

From technology to products to solutions, we empower partners 360° without blind spots

The person in charge of Huawei Ecological University explained that the reason why Dr. Chen Zhong was invited to give training is that many of Huawei's ecological partners have a long-term vision. They are not only satisfied with the current product sales, but are eager to learn more about the future growth space, policy environment and business value prospects of more technologies. Among them, blockchain technology is a hot technology that ecological partners consult more.

During the epidemic, in addition to arranging training on new technologies, Huawei Ecological University also provided partners with relevant training on new products and solutions in 2020, helping partners to complete knowledge iteration, jointly promote key industry solutions, and help expand opportunities. For example, in solution training, Huawei focused on recommending the most popular Welink+EC Zone, Kunpeng & Ascend Online Lecture Hall, Wotu Digital Platform, and telemedicine solutions to ecological partners. In product technology training, Huawei Ecological University's "LinkedIn Program" accessed the spring training collection and the data communication certification direct class, and the "Distribution Easy School" arranged the 2020 spring training collection and 2020 service product technology exchanges and sharing. In addition, management e-school executive courses, sales micro-scenario certification, and the cultivation of partner special capabilities are also available.

The cultivation of future industry talents is also a top priority for Huawei Ecological University. Huawei has been engaged in talent cultivation to ensure that "fresh blood" is continuously input into the industry. In colleges and universities, Huawei Ecological University has cooperated deeply with Peking University to launch a series of machine learning courses, which not only provide theoretical teaching but also practical teaching. Among them, Huawei's ModelArts is very popular among college teachers and students. It helps students quickly create and deploy models and manage the full-cycle AI workflow.

Dr. Chen Zhong also expressed his appreciation for the actions taken by Huawei Eco-University in his speech. He believes that large international companies like Huawei have been actively cultivating ecosystem partners, improving the capabilities of ecosystem partners, and promoting the construction of the ICT industry together with partners, which is very beneficial to the healthy development of the industry.
