Last July 8, Huawei announced its Seeds for the Future Program 2.0, a US$150 million investment in digital talent with a scope of five years. The program will benefit more than 3 million additional people.
Huawei recently held a "Tech & Sustainability: Everyone's Included" forum, co-hosted by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Representatives from Huawei, IUCN, the World Economic Forum, Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), Global Enabling Sustainability (GeSI), and Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) participated to discuss the role of technology in driving sustainability and building a more inclusive, eco-friendly world.
The UNICEF and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has reported in 2020 that about 2.2 billion people aged 25 years and below lack internet connections in their homes.
