Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona once again served as the global stage for technological advancements, showcasing how industries are evolving in the digital age. MWC 2025 in Barcelona welcomed 109,000 attendees from 205 countries, with over 2,900 exhibitors and 1,200 speakers, including key figures shaping the future of AI, 5G, and emerging technologies. The event is set to return to Barcelona from 2–5 March 2026, continuing its legacy of innovation and global collaboration.

Among the standout participants, Huawei unveiled its AI-powered R-A-A-S (Reliability, Availability, Autonomy, and Security) framework. The groundbreaking initiative is designed to help financial institutions build resilient digital infrastructure in the AI era. With AI now deeply embedded in financial workflows, Huawei’s ‘Beyond Digital, Resilience Empowers AI-Infused Finance’ proposition highlights the urgent need for secure, reliable, and intelligent financial systems.

AI Meets Resilient Financial Infrastructure

As financial institutions transition from “Doing Digital” to “Doing AI,” they face growing operational complexities and security risks. Jason Cao, CEO of Huawei Digital Finance BU, emphasized this shift at MWC:

“AI development is unstoppable, and financial innovation never ends. However, AI also poses unprecedented challenges to financial infrastructure. Without adequate resilience, we cannot transition from digital to intelligent.”

Huawei’s response? The AI-powered R-A-A-S framework, a comprehensive strategy designed to bring the “Four Zeros” vision introduced at MWC 2024—Zero Trust Security, Zero Wait Experience, Zero Downtime Availability, and Zero Touch Operation—into reality. This year, Huawei delivers on this vision through Reliability, Availability, AIOps (AI-driven Operations), and Security architectures, ensuring financial institutions can operate with greater efficiency, resilience, and automation.

With multi-copy storage and real-time synchronization, R-A-A-S safeguards critical financial data while achieving 99.999% uptime through cell-based databases and multi-active cloud services. By integrating AI-driven automation, the framework enhances security, optimizes operations, and future-proofs financial infrastructure for the AI era.

Beyond stability, AI-powered autonomy plays a crucial role in ensuring rapid fault detection and resolution—identifying issues within one minute and rectifying them within ten, significantly reducing downtime and human intervention. Additionally, real-time AI-driven cyber defence strengthens security, detecting and neutralizing threats in seconds. With these capabilities, Huawei’s R-A-A-S framework sets a new industry benchmark, equipping financial institutions to navigate the complexities of AI-driven transformation with confidence.

Huawei’s Growing Influence in Finance

Currently, 53 of the world’s top 100 banks and over 5600 3,700 financial institutions in 80+ countries rely on Huawei’s technology, Huawei has become a key enabler of AI-driven financial services. Its full-stack solutions - spanning computing, storage, networking, and cloud - are designed for scalability, security, and resilience, supporting everything from high-frequency trading to real-time risk assessment.

Financial institutions must navigate increasing cybersecurity threats, regulatory demands, and AI adoption. Using Huawei’s infrastructure provides the stability and intelligence needed to ensure uninterrupted, secure, and future-ready financial operations.

Beyond Finance: Huawei’s AI-Driven Vision

Huawei’s influence at MWC 2025 extended well beyond finance, reinforcing its position as a key enabler of intelligent transformation across industries. At the Industrial Digital and Intelligent Transformation Summit 2025, the company convened global customers and partners to explore the real-world impact of AI and digitalization on industrial ecosystems.

In a powerful display of its technological leadership, Huawei unveiled 83 industry-specific showcases spanning 71 critical business scenarios - demonstrating how digital intelligence is reshaping operations in both established and emerging sectors. To accelerate this momentum, Huawei and its partners introduced 10 major solutions aimed at fast-tracking intelligent transformation across public services, education, finance, electric power, transportation, oil and gas, chemicals, and retail.

This strategic push underscores Huawei’s broader vision: a future-ready, AI-powered economy where industries are not just adopting digital tools but fundamentally redefining efficiency, security, and scalability through intelligent infrastructure.
