Three Pillars of Growth: Huawei Highlights Carrier Contributions to the Pacific’s Digital Economy

At the Pacific Islands Telecommunications Association (PITA) 2025 event, Huawei’s President for the South Pacific Region, Mr. Denny Deng, highlighted the strategic role of carriers in shaping the future of the region’s digital economy. In his keynote address, Mr. Deng underscored the transformative potential of advanced ICT solutions, emphasizing how connectivity, industry applications, and readiness for the digital era form the foundation of growth for the Pacific Islands.

Huawei’s intensified investment in research and development throughout 2024 was a key talking point, with the company channeling resources into next-generation technologies that drive both performance and sustainability. These innovations are empowering carriers to deliver faster, more reliable services while simultaneously reducing energy consumption through green ICT infrastructure. Mr. Deng acknowledged the strong partnerships that Huawei has built in the region, expressing appreciation for the trust placed in the company to help steer digital progress.

As the Pacific region looks toward a digitally inclusive future, Deng pointed out that the digital economy is becoming a critical engine for growth spanning the business (2B), consumer (2C), and home (2H) sectors. From live streaming and e-learning to telemedicine and e-governance, improved connectivity is enabling new opportunities across industries. The increasing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) was also a central theme, with Mr. Deng advocating for ongoing infrastructure development to support AI integration. He highlighted how automation and smart technologies can boost efficiency, optimize services, and enhance the user experience across public and private sectors.

Huawei envisions a smarter Pacific one that is connected, intelligent, and sustainable. Mr. Deng reaffirmed the company’s pledge to work collaboratively with local stakeholders, supporting a future where digital solutions drive social and economic development. His closing message, “In Pacific, For Pacific. Together, We Transform, Together, We Lead Digital Economy Growth,” captured the spirit of regional cooperation and Huawei’s long-term commitment to empowering Pacific nations on their digital journey.
