Both parties are committed to creating a global showcase for smart campus network innovation, which not only accelerates HKU’s digital and intelligent transformation, but also serves as an excellent reference and inspiration for more universities worldwide.

Several key leaders from both parties attended the ceremony, including Flora Ng, Chief Information Officer and University Librarian at HKU; Wilson Kwok, Associate Director (CIO & Librarian Office) at HKU; Jason He, President of Huawei’s Global Enterprise Data Communication Marketing & Solution Sales Dept; Jim Bi, President of ICT Marketing & Solution Sales Dept of Huawei Hong Kong; Yury Yin, Vice President of Huawei’s Data Communications Product Line; Jackie Yu, Director of the Branding & Marketing Execution Dept, Huawei Enterprise Business.

“As a world-class university, HKU is committed to providing the best teaching and research environment for global academic talent and promoting the integration of education and technology,” said Flora Ng in her welcome speech. “This year marks the 112th anniversary of the HKU Libraries, which has become a vital platform for global academic research over a century. With the growing diversity of teaching needs and accelerating digital transformation, building a smart campus is critical for providing high-quality educational services.”

Doing so will build a more secure, efficient, and intelligent education environment for the future, thereby driving the digital transformation of the education industry.”

“Currently, education is rapidly integrating with digital technology.
