Global leading ICT provider, Huawei, launched its SME Support Programme with trusted ecosystem partners in Asia Pacific, aiming to deliver further technical support for economic recovery amid the fight against the pandemic in the region.
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the engines of growth and innovation in the APEC region. They account for over 97% of all business and employ over half of the workforce across APEC economies. They contribute significantly to economic growth, with their share of GDP ranging from 40% to 60% in most APEC economies, according to the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation.
The pandemic has forced businesses to accelerate their Digital Transformation and move to the cloud one to three years ahead of schedule. HUAWEI CLOUD is currently working with over 19,000 partners and 1.6 million developers.
For the SME support programme, which will be available until December 31, each eligible SME applicant could receive coupons worth up to US$3,000 and a free professional consulting service.
