Huawei Thailand is committed to investing in local talent cultivation, aiming to train 20,000 developers and 10,000 green power engineers within three years.
According to Huawei Thailand chief executive David Li, this year the company plans to train more than 14,000 ICT professionals through its Huawei Asean Academy.
Mr Li said cybersecurity is also a crucial issue for Thailand, one which Huawei is committed to tackling.
The company plans to launch the Thailand cybersecurity communication plan, which will use short videos and storytelling to educate the public about cybersecurity and Huawei's contributions towards it.
The company aims to make this topic easily understandable for a mass audience through various events and initiatives, he said.
"Thailand's economy has a very positive forecast, especially in terms of post-Covid recovery. In 2023, we are looking forward to growing our business, especially in solar power, enterprise business and the cloud. We expect the growth to be strong and fast," said Mr Li.
To better serve partner service development, he said Huawei will optimise its partner policies and use the best certification standards and incentives to ensure partners benefit in a more professional and systematic manner.
In terms of challenges, Mr Li said digitalisation requires a lot of talented engineers and software developers. This is why Huawei has set aside a lot of resources and invested heavily in striving to improve this area.
Huawei is focused on five businesses, with the first the carrier business aiming to improve Thailand's infrastructure to facilitate technologies such as the roll-out of 5G.
This unit has seen very steady progress because this industry is more mature and stable, he said. The unit is one of the fundamental pillars of the company.
The second is enterprise business, which deploys Huawei technology to help enterprises realise their digitalisation vision.
The third business is cloud. "We will keep investing to expand and cater to Thailand's growing demand for cloud services," said Mr Li.
The fourth is digital power, while the fifth is consumer business focused on offering well-designed devices.
He said Huawei invests more than 10% of revenue in R&D every year.
"In 2022, Huawei Thailand posted a very strong performance and steady growth across our businesses," said Mr Li.
