Shanghai, China – September 20, 2025:
At HUAWEI CONNECT 2025, Huawei revealed its latest innovations aimed at accelerating the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into industrial sectors, with a focus on transforming businesses across the globe. Senior Vice President Leo Chen introduced the company’s groundbreaking three-step "ACT" pathway for AI adoption and unveiled nine major AI solutions developed with strategic partners, designed to drive industrial intelligence forward.
The ACT pathway — Assess, Calibrate, and Transform — represents Huawei’s approach to help companies adopt AI effectively. The first step, Assess, is about identifying high-value, AI-powered scenarios within business operations. Huawei’s AI Scenario Assessment Framework has already helped over 1,000 businesses pinpoint areas where AI can provide tangible value, aligning their AI initiatives with critical business objectives.
Once these scenarios are identified, Huawei moves to the Calibrate phase, focusing on fine-tuning general-purpose AI models with industry-specific data. This approach ensures that AI solutions are tailored to meet the unique needs of different sectors, providing businesses with a competitive edge. By leveraging vertical data, Huawei helps companies transform raw information into powerful, actionable insights, and fine-tune AI models for industry-specific applications.
The final stage, Transform, is about scaling AI capabilities. Huawei’s Versatile platform automates the creation of AI agents and workflows, enabling businesses to deploy AI solutions quickly and efficiently. The platform accelerates the transformation of business operations, helping organizations stay ahead in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Chen also shared several success stories, illustrating the effectiveness of the ACT pathway in real-world scenarios. For example, Huawei worked with a leading bank to implement a master-sub-agent architecture that optimized customer service, transaction handling, and risk management, resulting in increased revenue and improved operational efficiency. Similarly, China Southern Power Grid used Huawei’s Ascend platform and MindSpore AI framework to develop a model called “MegaWatt”, which enhanced the efficiency of power line inspections by five times and boosted image recognition accuracy to 90%. In the healthcare sector, Runda Medical leveraged Huawei’s Ascend inference servers to create a medical record solution that cut record generation time to just one second, dramatically improving consultation efficiency at West China Hospital.
Chen emphasized several key takeaways for enterprises looking to embrace AI. First, businesses must select the right scenarios where AI can have the most impact. Deep integration of AI into core production processes is essential for unlocking its full potential. Second, the quality of data is crucial for training effective AI models. Industry-specific models, built on high-quality vertical data, provide businesses with a competitive edge that general-purpose models often cannot deliver. Third, as the demand for large-scale inference grows, enterprises will need to scale their AI infrastructure to support more powerful AI agents. Chen also noted that human-AI collaboration is increasingly becoming the new organizational paradigm, and businesses must establish effective governance frameworks to ensure AI operates securely and sustainably.
In addition to the ACT pathway, Huawei launched nine major AI solutions aimed at transforming industries ranging from banking to energy and manufacturing. These solutions include models designed to optimize logistics, steel production, and oil and gas exploration, as well as AI-powered frameworks for improving medical technology and smart city development. By collaborating with partners across various industries, Huawei is helping businesses accelerate AI adoption, enabling them to streamline operations, reduce costs, and make smarter, data-driven decisions.
Huawei’s dedication to fostering innovation was further evident in the growing success of its "Huawei + Partners" ecosystem, which now includes over 6,300 Kunpeng partners, 2,700 Ascend partners, and 70 consulting firms. This ecosystem is designed to help businesses integrate AI solutions quickly and effectively, enabling knowledge-sharing and the rapid replication of best practices across industries.
As AI continues to evolve, Huawei’s ACT pathway and its suite of cutting-edge AI solutions are shaping the future of industrial intelligence. With a strong focus on enterprise-specific solutions, Huawei is helping businesses not only stay ahead of the curve but also unlock new levels of efficiency and growth in a digitally transformed world.
