FinnCham South China was delighted to join FinnCham Hong Kong’s recent member visit to Huawei’s global headquarters in Shenzhen, followed by a tour of Huawei’s stunning European-style R&D campus at Songshan Lake in Dongguan. The joint delegation brought together members from both chambers, spanning a range of industries, and offered a rare inside look at one of the world’s largest technology companies.
Huawei Headquarters, Shenzhen
The day began at Huawei’s headquarters in Shenzhen, where the group was welcomed and treated to a memorable lunch prepared by Huawei’s own chef — featuring premium wagyu beef, served in true style. Over lunch, delegates from both chambers had the opportunity to network and exchange thoughts with our hosts ahead of the afternoon programme.
Following lunch, the group toured Huawei’s showcase hall, which presents the breadth of the company’s solutions across sectors. Highlights included:
- Artificial intelligence: Huawei’s latest AI platforms and computing infrastructure, and how they are being applied across industries;
- Smart city and smart enterprise solutions: connected systems for urban management, transportation, and public services;
- Cloud and digital infrastructure: the backbone technologies powering Huawei’s growing ecosystem;
- An expanding partner ecosystem: an impressive display of how Huawei builds solutions together with partners, developers, and customers around the world.
What stood out to many delegates was the sheer scale of Huawei’s integrated ecosystem: rather than isolated products, the showcase presented complete, interconnected solutions, from chips and networks to AI, cloud, and industry applications, designed to work together end to end.
Songshan Lake Campus, Dongguan
In the afternoon, the delegation travelled to Dongguan to visit Huawei’s Songshan Lake campus, which hosts a remarkable collection of European-inspired architecture spread across a beautifully landscaped park. With buildings inspired by classic European cities and connected by a light railway looping around the campus, it is easy to see why this site is often described as one of the most impressive corporate campuses in the world. The setting gave delegates a tangible sense of the scale of Huawei’s R&D investment and the working environment of its research teams.
Thank you
FinnCham South China warmly thanks Huawei for the generous hospitality — including the fantastic lunch and an engaging, expertly arranged programme — as well as FinnCham Hong Kong for organising and hosting this excellent event. Joint events like this show the strength of the Nordic business community across the region, and we look forward to future visits and continued cooperation — between the chambers, and with our friends at Huawei.
