The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated digital transformation, with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) – accounting for 97% of all businesses across Asia Pacific economies – are being forced to embrace digital technology at a faster rate.

SMEs need all the help they can get to tap into digital tech. One avenue for help would be Huawei, which recently launched its SME Support Programme with its trusted ecosystem partners in Asia Pacific, Huawei said in a statement.

Under the programme available until Dec 31, each eligible SME applicant could receive coupons worth up to US$3,000 and free professional consulting service, it said.

This includes cloud solutions for a variety of industry scenarios, including financial service, education, e-commerce, gaming, Internet of Things (IoT), application development, and enterprise applications.

SMEs that have an account on the Huawei Cloud official website but have never used any paid service could apply on the on the SME Support Program page and receive consultation from cloud experts.

Applications will be reviewed based on the company’s cloud needs and the readiness of workloads for cloud deployment, Huawei said.

Yongyan Liu, co-founder and vice president of strategy and development at Symbionat Health, said, “We are still very small, but we have ambition to grow into a big business. To choose a reliable partner is our priority, as this translates into reliable technology and reliable service and support, and Huawei did a great job.”

Currently, Huawei Cloud offers over 220 services in categories such as compute, storage, network, security, big data, AI, and IoT, plus over 210 solutions for a full coverage of industries, the company claimed.
