FEATURE: BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE
We delved deeper into this at the Huawei ICT Sustainability Roundtable, where we heard from Huawei’ s partners about how technology is being embedded into their communities as a result of the TECH4ALL initiative.
Huawei rolled out its TECH4ALL programme with the goal of making technology accessible to all in a way that benefits both people and the planet. Key partnerships coupled with IT capabilities are the driving force behind this transformation project, resulting in sustainable practices and digital inclusion whilst minimising the divide.
During the roundtable, we heard from Ken Hu, Rotating Chairman for Huawei, who highlighted the impact of AI on the planet:“ As AI makes the world more intelligent, we are likely to see a new digital divide. We need to pay attention to this and work together to bridge the gap. We need policymakers to build more inclusive institutional frameworks and more tech companies to embrace open innovation. We need to work together to build more open platforms for collaboration.”
In 2019, Huawei and the Belgian NGO, Close the Gap, launched a mobile, solar-powered classroom called
