Huawei TrustInTech Summit 2021: Global Collaboration for Shared Value

Huawei TrustInTech Summit 2021 was held online on Thursday, with the theme of "Global 
Collaboration for Shared Value."

World leaders who attended the event include Neil Bush, Chairman of the George H.W. Bush 

Foundation for US-China Relations, Pascal Lamy, Former Director General of the World Trade 

Organization (WTO), William Nordhaus, Winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Economics, 
H.E. Satvinder Singh, Deputy Secretary-General of the ASEAN Economic Community, Derrick Pitts, 
NASA Solar System Ambassador, and Hou Jinlong, Senior Vice President of Huawei and President of Huawei Digital Power.

Topics discussed include challenges we are facing in the global economy, environmental protection, 
livelihoods, technology innovation, and many other key areas, and called for concerted efforts from 
countries and industries to address these challenges. 

Humanity has entered an era in which interests, fates, and futures are all closely intertwined. A 
whole-of-society approach is necessary to address the common threats and challenges facing the global community. Pascal Lamy pointed out that "We need to mitigate de-globalization, in order to avoid 
making this world a worse place."

Satvinder Singh, in his speech, spoke highly of the important role of the private sector like Huawei in 
advancing inclusive and sustainable economic recovery in ASEAN and beyond. He also shared 
ASEAN's development achievements and expressed willingness to cooperate across numerous areas, 
including economy and trade, transportation and materials, digital transformation, high-performance 
computing, and climate change. 

Satvinder Singh called upon all sides to take action. "We should seize this opportunity to make our 
societal and economic recovery truly transformative by investing in solutions to the crisis that address 
social, environmental, and economic transitions needed by our society and the planet," said the Deputy Secretary-General of ASEAN for ASEAN Economic Community.

Seeking common ground while setting aside differences and building trust is the way forward. Industry digitalization, particularly regarding technological innovation in areas like green power, will present 
new opportunities to all sectors worldwide and make the world a better place. Today, fighting climate 
change is a mission that is shared worldwide, with many countries having announced low-carbon 
pledges.

William Nordhaus said that governments should increase investment in low-carbon technologies and 
research. Hou Jinlong remarked, "Over the next 30 to 40 years, we will continue to see intelligence and low carbon gain traction. Going intelligent requires digital technologies, while decreasing our carbon 
footprint requires power electronics technologies. As these trends progress, the global energy industry 
will change from resource-dependent to technology-driven."

Hou Jinlong also expressed Huawei Digital Power's commitment to integrating digital and power 

electronics technologies, developing clean power, and enabling energy digitalization. "By pursuing 

innovations in clean power generation, energy digitalization, transportation electrification, green ICT 

infrastructure, and integrated smart energy, we are working with global customers and partners to build 

low-carbon homes, factories, campuses, villages, and cities. This will support the shift from a 

low-carbon world to a zero-carbon world," he said.

As of September 30, 2021, Huawei Digital Power has helped customers generate 443.5 billion kWh of 
green power and save 13.6 billion kWh of electricity. This is equivalent to reducing carbon emissions 
by 210 million tons and planting 290 million trees. In the Philippines, Huawei has worked together with big developers and local partners to build utility, Commercial &Industrial and residential Solar Power 
plants in the country. 

Huawei Philippines also participanted the CEPSI 2021, which organized by the Association of 
Electricity Supply Industry of East Asia and the Western Pacific (AESIEAP) – the largest organization 
of power and industry companies in the region, shared thoughts and actions to promote sustainability 
and social inclusiveness in the region’s electricity industry.
