Rt. Honourable Tony Blair, Former Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, delivered the opening keynote address, calling on the international community to accelerate critical climate action.Day 1 featured action-oriented discussions with leading actors in the global energy system, including Secretary John F. Kerry and H.E. Parviz Shahbazov.Sessions focused on innovative strategies for a stable and secure international energy transition, with key speakers including James Apputhurai of NATO.

MILAN, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Global Energy Transition (GET) Congress 2024 launched today in Milan, uniting low-carbon energy sectors and high-carbon industries around the pressing need to develop and scale decarbonisation technologies that can accelerate the energy transition.

Addressing the energy leaders and innovators at the Opening Ceremony, the Right Honourable Tony Blair, Former Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, set the tone for the inaugural 3-day event in an engaging conversation with moderator Nik Gowing, Founder and Director of Think the Unthinkable:

“The energy transition has begun, it is just not happening fast enough. We must focus on the practical solutions, around financing and technology, and how we help the industry find a path where they can both run a successful business and play a part in the energy transition. The policies have to be radical, but they also have to be sensible.”

As recent estimates reveal, limiting global warming to 1.5°C will require achieving net zero emissions in the energy sector by 2050. In this context, the GET Congress has emerged as a vital platform for leading actors across key sectors, including government, finance, energy and industry, to come together and align on the innovative projects and forward-focused policies that will deliver significant emissions reductions and a stable, secure, and affordable energy transformation.

Reflecting the urgent need for such high-level collaboration and leadership, the first day of the GET Congress saw the start of the Changemakers Programme, which featured insights from the stakeholders and decision makers driving the energy transition forward. Speakers included Secretary John F. Kerry, 68th U.S. Secretary of State; H.E. Musadik Malik, Minister of Energy, Pakistan; Sanjiv Lamba, CEO of Linde; and Lorenzo Simonelli, President and CEO of Baker Hughes.

Participating in the session “Geopolitics, energy security and new challenges to net zero”, James Apputhurai, Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Innovation, Hybrid and Cyber at NATO, explored the strategies and solutions needed to overcome historic barriers to wide scale decarbonisation: “To preserve our security, culture and way of life, we have to do a lot of things we haven’t done before. We have to innovate and protect our society, so that all of society can work with us. And this very much involves the energy sector.”

Consistent with the global scope and ambitions of the GET Congress – which is showcasing 200+ exhibiting companies and welcoming participants from more than 120 countries – the opening day also emphasised the need for collective and inclusive efforts on key climate priorities, including the expansion of decarbonisation-focused investments. As part of a dedicated panel on the climate rights of emerging economies, H.E. Parviz Shahbazov, Minister of Energy for COP29 host country Azerbaijan, discussed the incredible progress being made in emerging markets:

“Azerbaijan today demonstrates its determination to move toward renewables and contribute to the secure energy transition, not only of this region, but worldwide. Our national energy policy aims to maximise green growth, and more than 2 billion dollars of investment is expected to increase the share of expected capacity to 33% by 2027.”

With contributions from the world’s leading voices on energy, policy, technology and finance, the GET Congress is establishing itself as an unrivalled forum for accelerating the groundbreaking innovations and projects that will transform the global path to net zero. With three distinct conferences – the Strategic Conference, Project X-Change, and Roadmaps to Net Zero – and a sprawling exhibition floor featuring 200+ exhibitors, the inaugural event will continue to shape the future of decarbonisation over the next two days, Tuesday the 2nd and Wednesday the 3rd of July at the Allianz Mico Milano Convention Center.

Notes to the Reader:

GET will take place from Allianz MiCo – GATE 4, Viale Scarampo, 20149 Milan, Italy.

The Global Energy Transition Congress & Exhibition (GET) is a premier event that brings together thought leaders, innovators, and industry experts from the energy, hard-to-abate sectors, finance, and start-ups to address the critical challenges and opportunities to decarbonise industry and accelerate the global energy transition. GET serves as a vital platform for networking, knowledge exchange, and showcasing low-carbon solutions and decarbonisation technologies that will shape the future of the energy transition worldwide. With a focus on achieving net-zero emissions, GET is set to attract participants from diverse sectors and countries to foster collaboration and drive meaningful change.

New app partnerships with Life: Period Tracker, Clue, and The Ginger Club signal growing momentum for third-party developers building on Huawei’s wearable platform

LONDON, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Huawei announced the continued expansion of its health and fitness app ecosystem on the newly launched HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series, reinforcing its strategy to build an open, partner-driven platform that delivers meaningful everyday value to users. The latest additions include Life: Period Tracker, the globally recognized women’s health app; Clue, the #1 women-led  period and cycle tracker; and The Ginger Club, a running community founded around women’s physiology, bringing advanced cycle tracking, data-driven health insights, and personalized training directly to the wrist.

The applications are available through HUAWEI AppGallery across all models of the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series. They reflect a broader ambition: to attract best-in-class app developers to Huawei’s wearable ecosystem and give them the platform, data integrations, and user reach to build health experiences that genuinely improve daily life.

A Platform Built Around Women’s Health

With women’s health being a clear strategic priority, Huawei’s ecosystem team has worked closely with partners to ensure the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series goes beyond step counting. Life: Period Tracker allows users to log cycle data, symptoms, mood, and flow level directly from the watch, discreetly and without reaching for a phone.

For users seeking deeper analysis, Clue’s integration with the Huawei Health app brings sleep data and body temperature readings from the watch into cycle analysis, supporting more personalized and data-driven health insights. Available with a Clue Plus subscription, the integration allows users to make the most of the data their watch already captures.  

From Wrist Data to Intelligent Coaching

The Ginger Club, founded by renowned running coach Candela Pérez, takes the ecosystem’s women’s health focus into athletic performance. With a Ginger Club subscription, training plans, from 5K to marathon, are designed around menstrual cycle phases. In addition, through seamless syncing with the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series, the app draws on real-time pace, heart rate, and recovery data to guide users on when to push and when to rest, enabling the watch to become a genuine coaching companion.

These partnerships illustrate the growing appeal of Huawei’s wearable platform: lightweight, all-day wear design enables higher data continuity and more engaged users, delivering a compelling proposition for developers looking to reach people in the real moments of their lives.

An Open Ecosystem Invitation

To celebrate the launch, new HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series buyers will receive an exclusive three-month premium subscription, valued at €15, to Life: Period Tracker at no cost, and a 3-month free trial to Clue Plus, as part of Huawei’s commitment to making its ecosystem genuinely rewarding from day one.

For developers and health brands, the path to collaboration is open: whether through Health Kit integration or native app development for HUAWEI AppGallery, Huawei provides the tools, APIs, and go-to-market support to bring compelling wearable experiences to market. On top of this, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series also supports contactless payments with Curve Pay, as well as access to Huawei MultiPass, including Huawei Health+ membership and exclusive benefits from popular sports, fitness, and lifestyle apps such as komoot, Naviki, URUNN and FIIT.

Developers and health brands interested in building for Huawei’s wearable platform are encouraged to explore partnership opportunities through the Huawei Developer Portal at https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/.

HDC 2026 Global Eco Summit: Huawei Ecosystem Fuels Partners’ Growth in China and Cross-Border Success

Published

June 18, 2026

By

DONGGUAN, China, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the HDC 2026 Global Eco Summit, Huawei convened global ecosystem partners, brands, and developers to explore how its innovative technologies are reshaping digital interaction in an increasingly interconnected, multi-device world. Spanning luxury retail, tourism, financial services, and digital platforms, the summit highlighted how enterprises are leveraging Huawei’s ecosystem to drive innovation and business growth, with key partners sharing real-world collaboration cases and practical insights.

China Market Mastery: AI-Powered Audience Insights and Story-Driven Strategies for Scalable Brand Growth

Huawei’s ecosystem has established itself as a powerful platform enabling brands to navigate the China market with precision and creativity. Leveraging Petal Ads’ advanced AI capabilities and rich consumer insights, brands access multi-dimensional audience portraits, real-time behavioral signals, and omnichannel measurement tools. The ecosystem also provides access to affluent consumer segments, including over 22 million yearly outbound travelers — 76% of whom belong to middle-to-high consumption groups with strong interest in luxury goods, technology, and premium lifestyles.

A global leading luxury house demonstrated how these capabilities translate into meaningful China growth. To connect with high-net-worth consumers, the brand partnered with Huawei to leverage Petal Ads’ precision targeting, reaching premium audiences including foldable device users with immersive splash screen visuals optimized for Huawei devices. The campaigns generated tens of millions of impressions and strong click-through rates. The partnership has since expanded into experiential collaborations and in-store initiatives, blending the brand’s heritage with Huawei’s intelligent technology.

A Southeast Asian national tourism board showed how China-market strategy becomes more effective when media, content, devices, and offline experiences are connected. This collaboration leveraged Petal Ads, Huawei Wearables, SkyTone, and offline retail experiences to create a 360-degree immersive travel journey for Chinese consumers — including customized watch faces featuring destination mascots and KOL collaborations. The campaign generated hundreds of millions of exposures, significantly lifted brand awareness, and solidified the destination as a top choice for Chinese outbound travelers.

Expanding Global Horizons: Overseas Partners Strengthen Huawei’s Global Ecosystem

As cross-border travel and consumption grow, overseas partners are increasingly engaging with Huawei’s ecosystem to deliver seamless, locally relevant experiences for users abroad, embedding essential services such as ticketing, payments, and connectivity directly into users’ daily digital lives.

A leading Hong Kong ticketing platform partnered with Huawei to redefine cross-border event and travel experiences for Chinese outbound travelers. Leveraging Huawei’s hybrid architecture, localized support, and Huawei Login capabilities, the platform built a high-performance, cross-device application for concerts, sports events, and travel services across Hong Kong and Asia. Beyond ticketing, the integration spans the full travel journey: users can book tickets, navigate to venues via Petal Maps, and stay connected via SkyTone — all within Huawei’s ecosystem — transforming standalone transactions into continuous, connected travel moments.

BonusFlaş, Garanti BBVA’s digital payment and smart wallet platform and one of Türkiye’s leading digital payment solutions, demonstrated how Huawei’s ecosystem enables seamless and secure transactions. Through this partnership, BonusFlaş enabled NFC-based contactless payments on HUAWEI WATCH 5, HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 series, and other NFC-supported wearables, allowing users to make secure, one-tap payments at millions of POS terminals across Türkiye directly from their wrists. BonusFlaş’s upgraded platform brought together cards, digital payments, exclusive campaigns, and favorite brands in a single, user-friendly interface, expanding its user base and setting a new standard for fintech-wearable collaboration in Türkiye.

Forging a Connected Future Together

The HDC 2026 Global Eco Summit reaffirmed Huawei’s role as an open, collaborative global bridge, connecting brands, developers, and consumers to drive shared growth. As cross-border commerce and travel expand, Huawei stands ready to empower partners with its innovative technologies and expansive ecosystem. Huawei invites all global brands, developers, and ecosystem partners to join together building a fully connected, intelligent world that turns cross-border challenges into opportunities.
