Huawei continues its advancement in the deployment of industrial intelligence solutions together with various partners for the electric power, manufacturing and retail, finance, transportation, oil and gas, internet service providers (ISP), media, public services and smart cities sectors. Within the framework of MWC 2026, the company has shown a total of 115 intelligence solutions at the so-called Digital and Intelligent Industrial Transformation Summit 2026, titled “Advancing Comprehensive Industrial Intelligence”,
During the summit, several Huawei customers took the stage to recount and explain some of the most notable implementations, including executives from Eskom, Shandong Port Group, Converge ICT, PetroChina Digital Intelligence Research Institute (Beijing), and CNPC. Those mentioned were joined by Juan Abarca Cidón, president of HM Hospitales, who can also serve as an example with the benefits obtained by adopting AI in their processes.
HM Hospitals as an example in healthcare
The alliance between HM Hospitales and Huawei contemplates the creation of a technological showroom in the group’s hospitals, conceived as a living space where its own and third-party solutions will be exhibited and validated in real clinical environments. The agreement includes the development of proofs of concept and use cases to evaluate the impact of technologies such as the modernization of network infrastructures, wearable devices for personalized care, real-time visualization of clinical and management data, and artificial intelligence applied to health.
With the technological support of TRC, the collaboration seeks to promote smart hospitals, promote interoperability, guarantee data security and reinforce the innovative leadership of HM Hospitales within the healthcare ecosystem.
Huawei updated the SHAPE 2.0 partner framework
The company has updated its SHAPE 2.0 partner framework, placing artificial intelligence at the center of its strategy. AI technologies have advanced rapidly over the past year, with reasoning models and agent workflows maturing, and physical AI truly taking off. This has allowed AI tools to begin to be incorporated into mainstream production scenarios and has helped applications move from the pilot phase to full-scale use.
Huawei is driving improvements in five key areas: integrating AI into products and solutions—such as network agents capable of automating fault detection and O&M optimization; strengthens co-innovation through AgentArts on Huawei Cloud to develop agents and sector applications; enhances the capabilities of its partners with new standards and more than 20 AI certifications, with the goal of accrediting more than 1,000 partners; Optimize collaboration with assisted setup and smart support tools like Huawei eKit; and generates new growth opportunities by deploying 3,000 AI experts and promoting pilot projects in 38 sectors. In addition, it presented 22 industrial intelligence solutions developed with partners for areas such as energy, manufacturing, finance, transportation and smart cities.
Examples of use in energy and education
Len De Villiers, Eskom Chief Technology and Information Officer, stated at the summit: “Sustainable electricity drives economic growth, reduces poverty and improves quality of life. Eskom remains instrumental in transforming lives through our significant contribution to South Africa’s economy. Eskom’s restructuring strategy and plan consists of seeking financial and operational sustainability, as well as modernizing the electricity system and energy transition. “Through unbundling, Eskom will evolve to be more agile and attract the financing needed to drive the energy landscape and economic growth of the future.”
For his part, another interesting use case was presented by Ng Wun-kit, principal of Pui Kiu Middle School in Hong Kong, China, who stated in his presentation: “The vision of Pui Kiu Middle School in the age of AI is to be a pioneering educational institution driven by AI, using it almost as an operating system, that leverages technology to offer personalized and intelligent learning, thus developing future-ready leaders with global perspectives and innovative minds.

The director commented that they have implemented the AI General Knowledge Course, the AI-Powered Smart Classroom, and the Smart and Safe Campus. “We will launch the Huawei AI Education Center (AIEC) Model School Global Solution and look forward to sharing our transformative journey and proven methodologies with the international community,” he concluded.
At Huawei’s Enterprise Business exhibition area, located in Hall 1 of MWC 2026, the company has 98 exhibition booths and 51 interactive demonstrations to demonstrate Huawei’s solutions with intelligent transformation and digital infrastructure, showcasing the latest global industrial intelligent transformation products, solutions and practices to customers and partners.
