Huawei plans to invest $15m over the next three years in a newly unveiled Huawei Cloud Oasis Programme aimed at accelerating the development of technology enterprises and ecosystems in the Middle East. The new programme was launched during the second edition of the Huawei cloud Summit held virtually this year on September 15, 2021. The annual event connects business leaders, industry visionaries, and Huawei partners to build a more dynamic ecosystem for collaboration and shared success. The Huawei Cloud Oasis Programme has set a target to assist 3,000 experts in the region, support over 1,500 consulting and technical partners, and empower more than 100 SMEs to develop their cloud capabilities. The programme will also support more than 100 marketing events during this period to help cultivate a thriving cloud ecosystem within the business community. The latest investment includes $7.5m being allocated for partner development, over $2.5m to be put behind credits and other cloud resources, and more than $4.5m in marketing support for programme projects.
Over the coming years, a new cloud synergy project will provide benefits for both Huawei Cloud and Huawei Mobile Service (HMS) users. Cloud synergy will facilitate Huawei Cloud partners’ access to the more than one billion Huawei devices users. A Huawei Cloud Spark programme designed for startups will also provide access to financial and technical support, mentoring, and go-to-market encouragement. The purpose of this programme is to help startups focus on business development and without worrying about the financial and marketing difficulty. Currently, Huawei Cloud has more than 220 services available, with 18 global and one local data centre providing these services. In less than a year, Huawei Cloud had more than 80 offerings in the marketplace.
