Huawei to promote sustainable development to Kenya as one of emerging market players

Huawei’s emerging market growth strategy is geared towards promoting the sustainable development in emerging market players; Kenya being one of them.

The firm plans to assist mobile telecommunication operators in Kenya among other emerging markets to increase their efficiency and drive profitable growth, it said in a press release.

Huawei will also be seeking to enhance the rapid deployment of home broadband and indoor digitalization solutions to improve coverage and user experience, the Chinese company added.

“Carriers in Kenya will enjoy solutions geared at fostering rapid technology deployment,” Huawei Executive Director and Chief Strategy Marketing Officer, Mr. William Xu, said in the press release.

Huawei outlined what it described as its role as an all-round strategic partner to countries looking to advance economic and social development. The firm expressed what it said is its commitment to creating value for communities by collaborating with operators to help them maximize network assets, deploy home broadband and indoor digitalization, and drive connectivity to enhance the user experience, while promoting economic and social growth.

“We shall work hand-in-hand with operators such as Telkom Kenya, Safaricom and Airtel Kenya among others, to help them identify valued customers, develop valued businesses, and build valued networks. We enable operators to combine industry policy with the utilization of existing network resources, and integrate technological and business innovation,” Mr. William Xu said, adding: “By 2025, we will see 2 billion more people with mobile connections, and another 500 million broadband homes. Our commitment has always been to enable world’s operators to build roads to new growth.”

Huawei, he disclosed has already analyzed the current landscape in emerging markets to formulate its strategic approach from four angles: user+, family+, asset+, and efficiency+, the press release added.

The Global Connectivity Index (GCI) published by Huawei in 2016 reported that for each GCI score point increase a country improved its innovation capacity by 2.2%, competitiveness by 2.1%, and productivity by 2.3%.
