The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) and Chinese multinational technology company Huawei are in talks to expand their strategic partnership in the artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation cooperation fields.
The duo also discussed the best international solutions, experiences and practices in innovation, disruptive technologies, smart grids, digital transformation, automation, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence.
During a video conference, Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Dewa Managing Director and CEO, and Charles Yang, President of Huawei Middle East, discussed ways to strengthen co-operation and promoting bilateral relations, as well as sharing the best international practices and experiences.
Al Tayer spoke about Dewa’s precautionary measures to combat the pandemic, and protect the health and safety of employees, customers, and society.
Al Tayer said that Dewa works in line with the directives of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, who instructed Dubai's Government organisations to implement services 10 years ahead of other cities around the world.
In line with its vision to become a leading sustainable innovative corporation, Dewa has come a long way in this area by launching Digital Dewa, its digital arm, to redefine the concept of utilities and create a new digital future for Dubai.
Al Tayer commended the strategic partnership with Huawei, which is a global leader in telecommunications and information technology, the company’s support to governments, and China’s experience in handling the pandemic. He also praised Huawei’s support for DEWA’s electricity and water digital infrastructure.
