Tech Arena competitions are sponsored and designed by Huawei's worldwide labs in partnership with top universities to give students from around the world more opportunities to experience and learn how to solve real-world problems.




Liu Shaowei, President of Huawei’s European Research Institute, explained that the company plans to host 10 Tech Arena competitions for over 1,000 students during the 2023–2024 school year. These competitions will be hosted in several countries, including France, the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Belgium, Poland, Switzerland, and Israel.




Liu also emphasized that Huawei’s sharing of the results of past Tech Arena competitions was evidence of Huawei’s determination to invest in young talent. By the end of 2022, there were more than 5,400 students from over 52 universities who had participated in Tech Arena. Also to date, Huawei has offered more than 3 million dollars to make this competition platform available to global students.




“The results showed that more and more young people truly are improving from Tech Arena; this is aligned with the company’s intention to help build stronger talent pools for local communities,” Liu added.




Liu also released the themes of some Tech Arena competitions; other competitions will reveal theirs later in the year.
