In his opening speech, Ritchie Peng, Director of the ICT Strategy & Business Development Dept at Huawei, mentioned, “To achieve the goal of learning through competition and inspiring innovation through competition, we have continuously evolved the design of competition topics. The Practice Competition aligns with our vision for an Intelligent World 2030 and encourages students to master cloud computing, big data, and AI to drive social progress. The Innovation Competition focuses on green development and digital inclusion, motivating participants to solve real-world challenges in sectors like agriculture, healthcare, and education through ICT.”

As digital transformation is accelerating globally, the demand for skilled professionals in fields such as AI, big data, and cybersecurity continues to grow. However, the shortage of talent in these critical areas is becoming increasingly evident. To help tackle this challenge, the Huawei ICT Competition features multiple tracks — including Practice, Innovation, and Programming — alongside initiatives such as industry-academia collaboration and tailored curriculum development. These efforts aim to equip students with in-demand skills and foster the next-generation tech talent who will stand out in an increasingly intelligent and digital world.

During this year’s competition, Huawei also hosted the AI Accelerating Education Transformation Summit, where experts explored the pivotal role of AI in smart education. In addition, Huawei officially announced the AI Capability of the Huawei ICT Academy Intelligent Platform, making it easier and more efficient for educators and students to use. This marks another step forward in advancing educational digitalization.

New Routific integration on Zapier sends orders from QuickBooks, WooCommerce, Google Sheets, and other apps straight into Routific to plan optimized delivery routes

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Weeks after launching its Shopify app, Routific, the smart route optimization and delivery management platform for growing delivery businesses, is now available on Zapier. Delivery businesses can connect Routific to more than 9,000 apps, from online stores and order forms to spreadsheets and databases, and stop retyping orders before they can plan a single route.

Previously, we relied on manually downloading and uploading spreadsheets… By connecting Knack, Zapier, and Routific, we’ve automated that process.

“Every delivery business runs on a different mix of tools. One takes orders in WooCommerce, another in Airtable, another in a form they built themselves,” said Marc Kuo, Founder and CEO of Routific. “We can’t build a native integration for every one of them, so we built one that reaches all of them. Orders get into Routific on their own, and dispatchers spend their time on routes drivers trust, not on copying addresses.”

With Zapier, businesses can create, update, complete, and delete orders in Routific, create routes, and publish a day’s routes to drivers. They can also pull route details, route timelines, and proof-of-delivery photos back out to other apps. Common setups include sending new QuickBooks invoices to Routific as delivery orders, adding new WooCommerce orders to Routific as they come in, turning rows in Google Sheets or Airtable into delivery orders, and publishing routes to drivers at the same time every morning.

Diaper Stork is a Seattle-area diaper service that delivers premium cloth diapers to families each week while picking up their used diapers for laundering and reuse.

“With hundreds of weekly deliveries, managing our routes and keeping customer information up to date is a big part of our operation,” said Carrie Pollak, CEO of Diaper Stork.

“Previously, we relied on manually downloading and uploading spreadsheets between our customer management system and our routing software. By connecting Knack, Zapier, and Routific, we’ve automated that process. New delivery orders now flow directly into our routing system, and delivery updates and tracking information are automatically shared back with our customer service team. This saves us time, reduces manual work, and gives our team better visibility into every delivery. Most importantly, it allows us to spend less time managing systems and more time taking care of our customers.”

Routific is the highest-rated route planning software on Capterra, with 4.9 stars from 144 reviews as of November 2026. The Zapier integration is available now to all Routific customers. Businesses can get started from Routific’s Zapier page or learn more about Routific’s Zapier integration. Watch how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I0Xm_nmVVw

Build, Partner or Hybrid: Trigent Helps Mid-Market Leaders Choose a Global Capability Center Based on Evidence

Trigent Xperience Zone (TXZ) lets US, UK, and European mid-market companies test-drive an India capability and innovation center.

BOSTON, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Trigent, a global technology and AI solutions company, today launched the Trigent Xperience Zone (TXZ) and a Global Capability Center (GCC) Fit Assessment. These services give mid-market companies in the US, UK, and Europe a working view of an India Global Capability Center, and a recommended setup, before they commit capital.

A new kind of buyer

Captive centers and dedicated offshore development centers are no longer a Fortune 500 story alone. Out of India’s 2,117 GCCs, nearly half belong to mid-market and smaller companies, according to Nasscom’s FY2026 report.

The work is changing too. The same report finds 96% of GCCs opened since FY2021 launched with a product, R&D or engineering mandate. So, the business case now rests on capability and innovation, not just cost.

See it, test it, then scale it

TXZ lets leaders explore nine working areas of Trigent’s India operations, from interview rooms and delivery floors to the legal and accounts teams. With the Fit Assessment, they get a starting model built on their goals, timeline, and readiness.

According to Trigent, this 360-degree view is critical because mid-market Global Capability Centers typically struggle one year down the line when hiring and governance gaps start to show.

Pick the right starting point

The GCC Fit Assessment is built for the CEO, CFO, CTO, and CHRO, who sign off on a GCC but often judge readiness differently. Whether the answer is a fully owned captive center, a partner-led model, or a hybrid, the assessment weighs the trade-offs that stall boardroom discussions: speed versus control, cost versus capability, internal readiness versus growth.

“India’s next wave of Global Capability Centers will be built by mid-market companies, from founder-led businesses to PE-backed portfolio firms,” said Rohail Qadri, President, GCC & Professional Services at Trigent. “For them, a GCC isn’t just a cost play anymore. It’s a bet on growth and innovation, and a choice about how much control to keep. We’ve spent three decades working alongside similar companies, so we know where they stretch and where they stall. We help them get those calls right before capital is committed.”

Leaders can take the virtual tour and the GCC Fit Assessment at Trigent Xperience Zone.
