2018 Yunnan-Huawei Software Industry Summit was held on December 20

The 2018 Yunnan-Huawei Software Industry Summit with the theme of "Cloud Intelligence Software, Sharing the Future" will be held at the Dianchi International Convention and Exhibition Center in Kunming from December 20 to 21. The conference will invite more than a thousand government leaders, industry elites, and business leaders who are concerned about the software and artificial intelligence industries to discuss how to expand and strengthen the software industry under the trend of intelligence and help the digital economy take off.

As a national basic and strategic industry, the software industry plays a vital role in promoting national economic and social development. In his report at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed to build a cyber power, a digital China, and a smart society, and to promote the deep integration of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, and the real economy.

With the advent of the digital economy, the importance of the software industry is increasing. The development potential of a city's digital economy depends largely on the development of the software industry. Today, with the maturity of technologies such as cloud computing, big data, and deep learning, artificial intelligence is becoming the most important development direction of the software industry, driving a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation.

This conference will bring a series of important announcements on the development of the software industry in Yunnan Province and Kunming City, further deepen the cooperation between Yunnan and high-tech companies such as Huawei, and build a platform for industrial exchanges and cooperation. Huawei and its ecological partners will also showcase their respective achievements and best practices in the fields of software and artificial intelligence, help Yunnan build a new software industry ecosystem, and promote the development of the city's digital economy and the digital transformation of the industry.

Huawei is a leading global provider of ICT (information and communications) infrastructure and intelligent terminals, committed to bringing the digital world to everyone, every home, and every organization, and building a fully connected, intelligent world. Huawei currently has 180,000 employees and its business covers more than 170 countries and regions.

Statistics show that since Yunnan Province implemented the "Cloud on Cloud" action plan, the province's information industry has developed strongly, with main business revenues of 82.6 billion and 100.4 billion in 2016 and 2017, respectively, with a growth rate of more than 20%. Among them, electronic information manufacturing, software and information technology services maintained a growth rate of more than 30%.

The 2018 Yunnan-Huawei Software Industry Summit will thoroughly implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and promote exchanges and mutual learning, and promote open cooperation through policy releases, experience exchanges, technical discussions, and achievement displays, so that digital technology can better serve the economic and social development of Yunnan Province, promote the modernization of the government's governance system and governance capabilities, continuously enhance people's sense of gain, and jointly contribute wisdom and strength to the construction of Digital Yunnan.
