Huawei today announced the launch of a South Africa-based Cloud and Artificial Intelligence Innovation Centre to drive innovation, knowledge transfer and economic growth through app development in the AI industry.
The new centre will be based at Huawei’s South African headquarters in Woodmead, Johannesburg, but developers across Africa will be able to access the centre remotely. It will teach AI application best practice, link developers to markets, support AI supply chains, develop talent and support application innovation.
As part of HUAWEI CLOUD’s “Inclusive AI” strategy, the company has an open development ecosystem to enable collaboration and tech support. The new Huawei Cloud&AI Innovation Centre will feed into this by providing training in Huawei’s full-stack, all-scenario solutions, and platforms like ModelArts. Kabelo Makwane, managing executive of Cloud, Hosting and Security at Vodacom Business, described how partnerships were helping to drive secure transitions to the Cloud for businesses across the continent.
“Data demand is soaring, as remote work and e-commerce become the norm,” said George Thabit Ayad Thomas: Senior Solutions Manager of HUAWEI CLOUD Africa Region. “In this context, Cloud computing, with its instant IT availability, has been a fundamental support system for African organisations. But it is also a key business driver.”
