Communication is a critical component of the ICT mix. In recent years, Information and Communication Technology has evolved to improve connectivity among peers and industries.
ICT stands for Information and Communication Technology, a blanket term encompassing all the technologies and services involved in computing, data management, telecommunications provision, and the Internet. These technologies all deal with transmitting and receiving information of some kind.
The use of information and communication technology (ICT) for automation of customs services and data-sharing helps reinforce the member countries’ customs legal reforms and simplification of customs procedures and improve transparency and efficiency of customs services.
The event, with the theme “Accelerating Intelligence for Shared Success”, brought together attendees, including government officials, business leaders, tech experts, partners, developers, and industry stakeholders worldwide.
The event featured the latest trends and technologies in the ICT industry, especially artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, cloud computing, and other intelligent solutions designed to address the unique requirements of various sectors, such as finance, government, manufacturing, electric power, and railways, etc.
Highlights of the event include keynote addresses from top Huawei executives as well as panel discussions, summits, and technical sessions with industry experts. The speakers took turns outlining the company’s vision for the future of the ICT industry and emphasized the importance of collaboration and innovation.
The event which also featured exhibitions that showcased the latest products and solutions from Huawei and its partners served as a platform to unveil some of the company’s latest technological advancements.
