Huawei, a global provider of ICT infrastructure and smart devices, plans to invest USD15 million over the next three years in a newly unveiled Huawei Cloud Oasis Program aimed at accelerating the development of technology enterprises and ecosystems in the Middle East.

The Huawei Cloud Oasis Program was launched during the Cloud Summit held virtually this year in September. The annual event connected business leaders and Huawei partners.

Eric Wan, VP of Cloud Marketing, Ecosystem & Partner Development at Huawei Middle East, said: “Since launching Huawei Cloud, we have sought to nurture a localized, innovative cloud ecosystem in all the markets where we operate. The Huawei Cloud Oasis Program will thus provide truly unique and rewarding offerings to local businesses.”

An official release of the company stated, “The Huawei Cloud Oasis Program has set a target to assist 3,000 experts in the region, support over 1,500 consulting and technical partners, and empower more than 100 SMEs to develop their cloud capabilities.” The latest investment includes USD7.5 million being allocated for partner development, over USD2.5 million to be put behind credits and other cloud resources, and more than USD4.5 million in marketing support for program projects.

Currently, Huawei Cloud has more than 220 services available, with 18 global and one local data center providing these services.
