Huawei Korea hosted a partner summit in Seoul on Wednesday, bringing together approximately 200 domestic partners and industry representatives to share its artificial intelligence (AI)-era digital infrastructure strategy.

The "2026 Huawei Korea Enterprise Partner Summit," held at Dragon City Hotel, centered on three priorities: strengthening support for the commercial market, improving partners' capacity to address AI demand and deepening the partner ecosystem.

Huawei Korea presented its enterprise business results, updated partner policies for the year, AI-based ICT solutions and partner success stories.

The company also outlined its latest technologies across AI data centers, storage, networking, computing and cloud, along with cooperation plans tailored to sector-specific digital transformation needs in healthcare, education, manufacturing, telecommunications and cloud services. Sessions and live demonstrations, meanwhile, covered AI-driven operations automation, high-performance storage and next-generation data center technologies.

Huawei Korea said it plans to expand joint marketing, technical training and industry-specific solution development with domestic partners, with a focus on AI, cloud and data center sectors.

Huawei Korea CEO Balian Wang said the company is committed to helping Korean partners seize new growth opportunities in the AI era and will work to build a sustainable ecosystem as a long-term partner, rather than simply a supplier.

A representative from SK Shieldus, one of the participating partner companies, said cooperation with Huawei had enabled the delivery of more innovative and reliable ICT infrastructure and AI solutions to domestic clients, and expressed confidence in generating greater commercial market synergy through the strengthened partner program.
