Huawei Expands Global Digitalization Efforts with Launch of GovTech1.0 Framework

At GITEX GLOBAL 2025, Huawei  launched the GovTech1.0 Framework, a comprehensive strategic blueprint designed to guide governments in their digital and intelligent transformation journeys. The new framework reflects Huawei’s latest insights and global practices for enabling efficient, data-driven, and AI-powered public sector modernization.

The announcement was led by Allen Tang, President of Huawei’s Middle East & Central Asia ICT Marketing & Solution Sales Department, who highlighted how the framework integrates cutting-edge technologies to help governments achieve smarter governance and deliver improved public services. He also introduced Huawei’s Global Digitalization & Intelligence Index (GDII) — developed in collaboration with IDC and GSMA Intelligence — to benchmark digital economy development across 90 countries. The index measures progress in areas such as data creation, transfer, processing, and application, as well as digital energy, policy, and talent ecosystems, offering a valuable tool for shaping future investment and innovation strategies.

With more than 170 countries now pursuing digital strategies, Huawei emphasized that governments in regions like the Middle East and Central Asia are advancing rapidly in their digital transformations. Nations such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kazakhstan were cited as regional leaders, demonstrating how sustained investment in digital governance and data infrastructure can enhance service delivery and national competitiveness.

The GovTech1.0 Framework is built on four core principles — Network Broadbandization, Platform Standardization, Data Harmonization, and Application Intelligentization — addressing the full spectrum of digital governance. It focuses on strengthening digital infrastructure, standardizing platform architectures, improving data integration, and accelerating the adoption of intelligent applications.

By combining Huawei’s expertise in connectivity, cloud, and AI computing, the framework enables governments to deploy high-bandwidth networks, unified cloud platforms, and secure data ecosystems while empowering developers to create innovative, AI-driven public service applications.

Through GovTech1.0, Huawei aims to support governments worldwide in building inclusive, efficient, and intelligent governance systems. The initiative underscores Huawei’s commitment to advancing digital transformation and innovation in the public sector, helping countries harness technology as a catalyst for socio-economic development and improved citizen experiences.
