Chase the wind and the moon, do not stop; beyond the flat grassland lies the spring mountain.
— New Year's Address by Chairman Meng Wanzhou, 2026
The tide of time is surging over the shoreline of 2025. Looking back on this year's busyness and efforts, those footprints of varying depths are the best evidence of our relentless forward progress:
In the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, network optimization engineers traverse the streets in 44°C heat and red dust, identifying network issues;
In the seven-level gales of the Atlantic Ocean, optical network experts overcome severe seasickness and work with customers to locate faults and restore communication;
In the snowy highlands at an altitude of 4,300 meters, service teams remain undeterred by the lack of oxygen, debugging optical storage systems under -15°C temperatures, delivering green power to millions of homes;
In the client's data center at 4:30 a.m., the R&D team worked for 30 days to implement a technical solution during the period of least business traffic;
HarmonyOS ecosystem engineers, together with partners, have been working day and night, continuously improving user experience from the first takeout order, first note, and first trip;
Sign language engineers overcame challenges posed by specialized terminology, solving after-sales difficulties for hearing-impaired users, building a silent bridge for them;
Manufacturing craftsmen deeply studied screw driving, drawing inspiration from a chick feeder to solve the problem of mobile screw feeding technology for micro short screws on phones, significantly increasing screw-driving efficiency;
Payment accountants strictly followed company procedures, checking authorizations and documents, maintaining a consistent craftsmanship to ensure zero losses in trillions of payments;
…
Every drop of sweat in the past year is worth celebrating!
We helped operators build 5G-A networks, providing 60 million users with ultra-fast network connection experiences;
With the support of ecological partners, the HarmonyOS ecosystem experience has accelerated from "usable" to "good to use," with more than 36 million HarmonyOS 5.0 or higher terminal devices;
Working with automotive partners, Qiankun Intelligent Driving has equipped over 1.4 million passenger cars with intelligent brains, covering nearly 7 billion kilometers of assisted driving, safeguarding every safe journey;
Kunpeng has developed 6,800+ partners and 3.8 million developers, with openEuler system installations exceeding 16 million sets. Ascend has developed 3,000+ partners and 4 million developers, with Atlas 900 super nodes serving industries such as the internet, finance, operators, and power, jointly reinforcing the computing foundation;
Deepening industry involvement, we are exploring AI applications in areas like medical pathology, steel furnace temperature prediction, and oil and gas exploration, co-creating new value for industries;
Standing shoulder to shoulder with green energy clients, we have produced over 2 trillion kilowatt-hours of green electricity, saved 150 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, and reduced 106 million tons of carbon emissions, equivalent to planting 1.45 billion trees;
…
This is the fragment of our 2025, where we overcome difficulties with resilience, create value with professionalism, and inspire each other with passion, in every corner of the world.
We extend our deepest gratitude to every customer, partner, developer, and all passionate fighters.
Facing the future, the wave of intelligent transformation is surging, presenting us with long-term strategic opportunities.
Terminal intelligent bodies, assisted driving, unmanned excavators, and autonomous heavy trucks are changing our lives and production methods;
5G/5G-A and high-speed fiber optics form a network, making enterprise perception omnipresent and operations increasingly convenient;
Artificial intelligence technology is accelerating integration with industry knowledge, shifting from single-point efficiency improvements to systematic value restructuring of core business. This transformation is not only a technological iteration but also a profound change in organizational structure, business processes, and corporate culture.
Time waits for no one; the new journey of the intelligent era has already begun:
Strengthen vertical operations in industries, leverage the "big mix" advantage, deepen industry expertise, and enable the intelligent transformation of various sectors;
Build an open and open Kunpeng and Ascend ecosystem to enable partners to develop products meeting the needs of various industries, promote cluster and super node technologies, and establish a solid AI computing foundation;
The "Water Strategy" activates pipeline traffic, integrating AI into communication networks, evolving from "connection" to "intelligent connection";
Always start from consumer experience, enrich the HarmonyOS ecosystem, enjoy AI experiences, and bring more surprises to terminal consumers;
HarmonyOS Intelligent Drive and Qiankun Intelligent Driving help car manufacturers scale up, creating safer and more comfortable driving experiences;
Reconstruct AI data centers, making each watt produce more Tokens;
Liquid cooling ultra-fast charging, ensuring high-quality charging experiences wherever there are roads;
…
This will be our main battlefield in 2026.
On the road from strategic direction to battlefield victory, there are reefs and dangers, but we have no choice but to face them head-on.
Past success is not a guide for the future. We firmly believe that in the uncertain voyage of intelligentization, the ultimate victory belongs to those who dare to step forward and are brave enough to self-criticize.
Strategic focus, winning in value battles, achieving quality supremacy, strengthening organizational capabilities. In 2026, we will give it our all!
At this New Year, we extend our warmest wishes to everyone!
