Zhang Ping'an, Executive Director and CEO of Huawei Cloud Computing Technologies, launched the Huawei Developer Advocate Program at the Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) held on June 21.
Over the next three years, the Program will cultivate 3,000 developer advocates, a diverse group including academics, students, and developers. Advocacy empowers developers with cutting-edge technologies and promotes ecosystems such as Kunpeng, Ascend, HarmonyOS, and Huawei Cloud.
Zhang said Huawei is committed to cultivating developers by empowering them with innovation-driven creativity and breakthroughs for technology advancement. This will create more possibilities as society embraces the opportunities and challenges arising from the transition from the digital to the intelligent era.
The Program will promote industry-academia cooperation, technical training, development resources, various activities and platforms, and development operations. Developer advocates impart technical knowledge and practical experience to other developers through courses, textbooks, practice projects, technical communities, contests, and technical promotion for joint ecosystem growth and branding. Anyone meeting the application criteria is welcome to sign up.
On June 22, Zhou Hong, President of Huawei's Institute of Strategy Research, awarded certificates to the first 29 teachers to participate in the Program. Huawei’s Developer Advocate Program not only cultivates professionals who can master and use the company's open capabilities, but also strives to help others navigate these technologies so that society can benefit from the thriving industrial ecosystem and innovation.
"Our Developer Advocate Program not only cultivates professionals who can master and use our open capabilities, but also strives to help others navigate these technologies so that our society can benefit from the thriving industrial ecosystem and innovation," said Zhou.
One of the first Program advocates, Professor Xiong Shengwu of the Wuhan University of Technology, said, "We college teachers welcome Huawei's Developer Advocate Program, an initiative that will bridge universities and enterprises in talent development and enable our students to apply classroom knowledge in the workplace for better knowledge and occupational skills."
Huawei will broaden its platform of opportunities for global developers to propel innovation and development. For more information on how to apply, please visit: Huawei Developer Advocate Program.
