Huawei
Huawei is a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices. With integrated solutions across four key domains – telecom networks, IT, smart devices, and cloud services – we are committed to bringing digital to every person, home and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world.

Founded in 1987, Huawei has more than 180,000 employees, and we operate in more than 170 countries and regions. There are more than 15 R&D Institutes and centers in Europe, including Saint-Petersburg Research Center.

Our idea is that in next 10 years "smart" phones will become intelligent phones. No more learning will be required to use devices: devices will understand us.

To prove that idea we are developing a smart Assistant which will come pre-built into all new versions of Huawei smartphones. We are working on this technology to help all our Users to interact with their devices as if they had true AI in their pocket.

Our goal is to show to our Users that AI is used not only by big corporations and is not scary at all but it can be easily reachable by any smartphone owner.
