The Huawei Intelligent Finance Summit (HiFS) 2026 (Global Session), themed "Hello Fintelligent World: Beyond Digital, Advance to Agentic Banking," opened today at Huawei's Lianqiu Lake Campus in Shanghai. At the summit, Huawei announced six key initiatives to accelerate the large-scale deployment of financial AI, launched its Financial Data Intelligence Solution 6.0 and Digital CORE Solution 6.0, and unveiled a resilience infrastructure for both general-purpose and AI computing. These efforts aim to empower global financial institutions to unleash AI productivity, driving the digital and intelligent transformation and business success of customers worldwide. 

Focusing on Four Business Strategies and Building a 4-Win Model to Drive Success for Global Financial Institutions

During the summit, Jason Cao, CEO of Huawei Digital Finance BU, noted that over the past 16 years of deep engagement in the financial sector, Huawei's financial strategy has continuously evolved from financial-grade hardware and software to industry solutions. By driving sustained innovation in foundational software and hardware, building systematic engineering capabilities, developing a diverse ecosystem, and providing localized services, Huawei has established an effective business growth flywheel.

Huawei Digital Finance is committed to advancing its four core business strategies. Backed by Huawei's resilient ICT infrastructure, the company continues to deepen its RONGHAI global partner ecosystem, co-creating financial solutions to foster a new "4-Win" collaboration model encompassing customers, ISVs, SIs, and Huawei. As Agentic AI crosses the inflection point toward production-grade intelligence, accelerating its effective, large-scale adoption becomes paramount. To this end, Huawei has introduced a hybrid AI architecture powered by open-source foundation models, empowering global financial institutions to scale AI across high-value scenarios. In international financial markets, Huawei is focusing on six key initiatives—scenarios, architecture, engineering, data, AI infrastructure, and talent—collaborating with customers and partners to accelerate the transition to Agentic Banking.

Pioneering New Paths for AI Value Realization via Open-Source Models and Hybrid AI Architecture: Six Initiatives to Accelerate Agentic Banking

Building core advantages based on open-source models is becoming the strategic direction for global financial institutions.

Leveraging open-source models and hybrid AI architecture, Huawei is driving six key initiatives spanning scenarios, architecture, engineering, data, AI infrastructure, and talent:

• Targeting high-value scenarios to accelerate deployment: Aiming at four major domains—intelligent interaction, efficient operations, intelligent risk control, and revenue growth—Huawei and its partners have jointly launched nine AI agent business solutions.
• Building a hybrid AI architecture that balances security, compliance, business performance, and cost: Ensuring data security while leveraging engineering optimization to minimize token costs, enabling the large-scale deployment of innovation.
• Consolidating leading engineering practices to accelerate AI adoption: Leveraging open-source models and open compute power, Huawei drives low-latency AI interactions, optimized domain-specific models for risk control, and deep agentic engineering with seamless partner integration. Through computing engineering, model engineering, and agentic engineering, Huawei enhances both the effectiveness and speed of AI adoption for financial institutions.
• Building a digital-intelligent foundation: Delivering a three-layer capability upgrade across data platforms, governance, and applications to establish an AI-ready R.A.C.E. foundation for finance.
• Building an enterprise-grade, high-performance AI computing foundation: Unveiling the Huawei Atlas 850E SuperPoD, which provides an enterprise-grade, efficient AI computing foundation powered by a leading compute architecture and high-performance networking.
• Launching an AI talent development program: Over the next three years, Huawei aims to cultivate more than 10,000 interdisciplinary "Finance + AI" experts for the global financial industry.
