Cao said that technology, especially the connection and intelligence, continues to drive the development of the financial industry.
"By 2025, more than 100 billion physical connections will lead to financial services for 'things'. In the future, smart contract will enable intelligent decision-making possible everywhere. New service and product models will emerge one after another. However, end-to-end user experience, real-time processing of massive data, and O&M and management of more complex networks and multi clouds will all become challenges for the financial industry. We are facing opportunities as well as challenges."
During the summit, Huawei and DBS announced the establishment of the Innovation Showcase at DBS Newton Green in Singapore.
Huawei also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with OCBC Bank to bolster the bank’s digital transformation in Southeast Asia and China's Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in three key initiatives, including Green Branch and Buildings with Smart IoT, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Innovation and Cloud Adoption Acceleration.
The three-day Huawei Intelligent Finance Summit 2022 officially brought together financial industry leading figures, KOLs, academic experts, and innovative practitioners from more than 30 countries around the world to discuss the future development of the financial industry, exploring how to build smarter and greener finance together.
