AI is emerging as a key driver in this digital transformation. The extensive use of the DeepSeek model signifies not just a technological advancement, but also a fundamental shift in production dynamics. Huawei collaborates with international partners to capitalize on opportunities and propel digital government towards a smarter and more sustainable future.

At the forum, Koh Hong-Eng, Global Chief Public Services Industry Scientist of Huawei, invited various guests to discuss national digital transformation. Felix C.

The digital transformation of Zambia is not only about technology - it is about the people, progress, and potential. It is about empowering the communities, bridging inequalities, and creating a future where every Zambian can contribute meaningfully to national development.
