In a prideful speech for the potential
and competence shown by the students selected for the Seeds for the Future
program, Jacky Chen, CEO of Huawei Indonesia proclaimed that as a
provider of ICT solutions, as well as a company that attaches great importance
to research, Huawei puts high value on various technology education initiatives
for talents from an early age. Huawei really understands the importance of
competent digital talent for the progression of the business world as well as
the progress of the nation.
“It is to that end we continue to
promote sustainable programs such as the Seeds for the Future program, which
has been one of Huawei's flagship programs since 2008. The ten Indonesian
students selected to take part in Seeds for the Future 2022 held in Bangkok,
Thailand, are highly competent digital technology talents that we believe have
great potential to become future leaders of technology. To further support them
as national assets, we provide various opportunities for them to learn
comprehensively, from the latest and future technologies, to knowledge on the
importance of understanding international culture and international networks,”
continued Jacky.
Furthermore,
Jeffrey Wang, Vice President, Management Transformation, Huawei Indonesia,
emphasized, "In addition to being part of the global commitment, Seeds for
the Future is part of Huawei's ongoing commitment to Indonesia, entitled Huawei
I DO. Based on this principal, we are committed to preparing at least 100 thousand
digital talents by 2025. To date, we have prepared 64 thousand talents, or more
than half of our target.”
Positive
Support of the Indonesian Ecosystem for Huawei's Contribution
Abetnego
Tarigan, Deputy II for Human Development of the Presidential Staff Office, hopes that the ten participants in
Seeds for the Future 2022 will proceed to inspire the younger generation to
fully support and realize a fully inclusive digital economy.
“Cooperatives
and MSMEs need the support and solutions provided by digital talents in order
to become part of the digital ecosystem and play an important role in enhancing
the digital economy in Indonesia. The Presidential Staff Office really hopes
that the programs developed by Huawei can open up opportunities for the next generation
to become reliable digital talents who are able to answer the needs and
challenges of the times," he said.
Addressing
participants of Seeds for the Future 2022, Ir. Suharti, MA, Ph.D., Secretary
General for the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology
expressed her sincerest gratitude to Huawei for the company’s contribution in
the development of Digital Human Resources in Indonesia, all the support that
Huawei has provided through its technological research, as well as its
commitment in ensuring the presence of digital services for every person, home,
and organization, thus improving the lives of everyone.
"I
express my sincerest appreciation for Huawei's support, which is manifested
through the four pillars of Huawei's commitment, namely 'Huawei I Do' in
realizing inclusiveness and digital strengthening in Indonesia and Huawei's
dedication in upholding the principles of gender equality in the field of
digital technology as well as in creating programs that produce high-quality
digital talent in Indonesia”, she concluded.
A
positive response was also conveyed by Mira Tayyiba, Secretary General of
the Ministry of Communications and Information of the Republic of Indonesia.
“First of all, I would like to express my appreciation to Huawei Indonesia for
its contribution to support our joint efforts in developing Indonesian digital
human resource competencies, through the technology competition scholarship
program and digital skills training. Indonesia is expected to grow into a
nation that has excellent digital literacy and skills, becomes a generation of
initiators, inventors, and innovators who can utilize digital technology for
the common good, and be able to bring added value to digital technology.”
She
went on to add that in this fully-digital era, the development of digital
literacy and skills holds the same urgency as the development of digital
infrastructure, as well as the strengthening of the government and the digital
economy. Mira then adapted the narrative of Ren Zhengfei, Huawei founder and
CEO, "we are migrating from a physical world to a digital one, and digital
assets knows no boundaries.”
“Once
again, I would like to convey my sincerest congratulations to the ten best
students who were chosen to represent Indonesia in the various digital talent
development programs through Huawei Seeds for the Future 2022. I hope that
through this program we will not only understand how the latest technological
innovations are, but also develop them according to the needs of the community and
interpret it as an opportunity to accelerate the digital transformation in
Indonesia, in order to recover faster and recover stronger," she
concluded.
The

themselves in the culture of other countries, get a glimpse of the latest ICT
technologies, and have the opportunity to acquire knowledge directly from the
experts through hands-on practices. They will get the opportunity to apply
their knowledge in competitions with participants from other countries.
This
