Intelligent World 2030
Huawei's Intelligent World 2030 draws upon in-depth discussions with industry-renowned scholars, customers, and partners, data and methods from authoritative organizations such as the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and the World Bank, and the collective wisdom of industry and Huawei experts to provide the outlook for the key trends in the intelligent world and key ICT evolution trends by 2030.

Striding Towards the Intelligent World
Navigating the ICT Industry
Striding Towards the Intelligent World - White Papers
It covers industries such as wireless network, cloud core network, data communication, all-optical network, autonomous driving network, computing, data storage, cloud computing, and ICT services and software. It continuously identifies recent trends and practices of each industry and provides action suggestions to jointly promote industry development and accelerate the development of the intelligent world.
Global Digitalization Index 2024(GDI)
Economic and Technological Impact
01
The GDI examines the correlation between ICT industry maturity and digital economic growth. Our analysis shows that countries with higher GDI scores experience greater economic benefits from ICT development. Our further correlation analysis of GDI score changes and GDP growth across the three clusters reveals that each one-point increase in the GDI score of Frontrunners can boost GDP per capita by US$945, which is 2.1 times the increase observed for Adopters and 5.4 times that for Starters.
02
To find ways to bridge the digital divide, the GDI research analyzed the performance of the three clusters in three technology enablers (as shown below), revealing that the biggest gap is in ubiquitous connectivity. Frontrunners lead Adopters by 15 points and Starters by 35 points in ubiquitous connectivity. In digital foundations, Frontrunners lead Adopters by 30 points, while the difference between Adopters and Starters is relatively small.
03
Frontrunners score high in both ubiquitous connectivity and digital foundations. Research shows that when the scores for both ubiquitous connectivity and digital foundations exceed 50 points, they reinforce each other more and create a multiplier effect on digital economic growth. Countries that score high in ubiquitous connectivity alone may struggle to further boost productivity and innovation due to inadequate investment in digital foundations such as the computing power and storage needed to handle large volumes of data and digital applications.
04
STEM graduates are a major source of the ICT workforce. Research shows that the proportion of STEM graduates in the three clusters of countries is similar at about 25%. However, the conversion rate to ICT professionals varies greatly by country due to the discrepancies in local ICT industry development, which directly impacts available ICT jobs. 95% of STEM graduates can find jobs in ICT-related fields in Frontrunners. However, in Adopters and Starters, this number drops to 50% and 15%, respectively.
