Through this event, we aim to honor the creators and developers who contribute to building the country’s digital future. We also reaffirm our constant commitment to supporting young people, innovative students, and startups to leverage these technologies to develop innovative solutions that meet the needs of society.”

The first edition of the Huawei Spark Infinity competition for programmers in 2024 was a great success, with more than 98 teams from across the country participating. On December 15, the national finals took place with 6 teams showcasing innovative projects aimed at using modern technologies to address social challenges through artificial intelligence. This competition is one of the major events supporting startups and promoting digital innovation in Algeria.

Through its cloud solutions, Huawei highlighted the importance of artificial intelligence and modern technologies in driving the growth of the digital economy. At the “Huawei Cloud Day,” the role of artificial intelligence in developing cloud solutions to accelerate applications and build intelligent systems supporting sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, and urban planning was demonstrated. Participants also had the opportunity to interact with Huawei experts in the fields of artificial intelligence and cloud solutions.

As part of its ongoing support for young talent and developers, Huawei Algeria’s cloud solutions have enabled startups and students to launch innovative projects using artificial intelligence and cloud computing by providing flexible and secure cloud platforms. This helps small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as individual developers, to accelerate their applications and achieve their ambitions. Huawei also offers a range of training programs and initiatives aimed at enhancing young people’s skills in programming and developing innovative cloud technologies, thereby contributing to their development on the latest technologies.

The winning teams of the Huawei Cloud Competition 2024 were honored, including the Octadot team, which presented the project “Hurudza”, an intelligent agricultural system that uses advanced digital tools to increase productivity and ensure food security through sustainable agriculture. The Homorpha team was recognized for its project “Burhan”, an innovative platform for protecting healthcare data using intelligent symmetric encryption techniques, ensuring privacy and security in cloud environments. Finally, the EcoVision team presented the project “Urban Distortion”, which uses artificial intelligence and satellite imaging technology to detect and prevent land-use violations effectively. These teams will represent Algeria at the Huawei Cloud Competition for North Africa, scheduled for the first half of 2025.

Through this event, Huawei aims to build a strong and open programming environment and enhance the digital cloud ecosystem using advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, databases, and native cloud computing.
