Interview: Dr Fang Liangzhou on Huawei's Green ICT initiatives

Africa has a population of 1.2 billion people, yet 50% of these have limited access to a reliable power supply. Many telecom sites still need diesel generators as a main power resource which has an extremely high cost opex and is damaging to the environment. At the same time, innovative ICT products and solutions are playing an increasingly important role in conserving energy and reducing emissions in various industries and contributing to a green and low-carbon society.

Africa Tech Festival heard from Dr Fang Liangzhou, Huawei's CMO of Digital Power, on how Huawei is addressing this issue across the continent and how technological innovations are helping save energy and reduce emissions in various industries.
