SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Today, Huawei held its TrustInTech Summit 2021 online, under the theme of
"Global Collaboration for Shared Value."
Leaders from across the globe attended the event, including Neil Bush, Chairman
of the George H.W. Bush Foundation for US-China Relations, Pascal Lamy, Former
WTO Director General, 2018 Economics Nobel Prize winner William Nordhaus, ASEAN
Deputy Secretary General H.E. Satvinder Singh, NASA Solar System Ambassador
Derrick Pitts, and Hou Jinlong, Senior Vice President of Huawei and President
of Huawei Digital Power.
Attendees acknowledged that humanity has entered an era in which interests,
fates, and futures are all intertwined, and called for coordinated efforts to
address common challenges. "We need to mitigate de-globalization, in order to
avoid making this world a worse place," Pascal Lamy noted.
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 further expanded, "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."
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.
Participants warned that geopolitics should not stand in the way of
technological cooperation and innovation. Neil Bush expressed his concerns
about growing global decoupling, "Many are embracing a dangerous zero-sum
mentality that defies common sense. China's success does not take away from
ours, and vice versa." He added, "Particularly in the area of technology, when
China and the United States collaborate, we can innovate in foundational and
revolutionary ways."
International research cooperation has yielded scientific advances. Dr. Derrick
Pitts noted the collaboration of seven countries in the International Brain
Initiative, the Thirty Meter Telescope, and several other international
scientific research cooperation projects. He highlighted that science
flourishes best in a climate that encourages diversity and cross-domain
partnerships.
Satvinder Singh delivered the closing remarks at the summit, speaking highly of
the key role that private companies like Huawei play in inclusive and
sustainable economic recovery across ASEAN and beyond.
