Amman: Two Jordanian teams comprised of 10 students from the Princess Sumaya University for Technology, the Al-Balqa’ Applied University, the University of Jordan, and the German Jordanian University are participating in the regional finals of the 2024 edition of Huawei’s “Seeds for the Future” Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program.
This year’s edition, which will be held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan from August 11 to 17, brings together a record 157 students from 14 countries across the Middle East and Central Asia region, a Huawei statement said on Wednesday.
Steven Yi, President of Huawei in the Middle East and Central Asia, said, “In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, tech-savvy and adaptable young talents deserve every opportunity to succeed. Huawei’s Seeds for the Future program is dedicated to equipping these bright minds with the essential skills and mindsets needed to thrive in our fast-paced world.”
Students are selected through in-country competitions, with winners advancing to
regional finals and ultimately to global finals in China.
The selection process is based on four key pillars that define the program’s mission: innovation, digitalization, sustainability, and entrepreneurship.
Seeds for the Future 2024 features Tech4Good, an entrepreneurship program that challenges young adults to address social issues using digital technologies.
The program offers intensive training, monthly workshops, a global competition, and incentives to help winning teams turn innovative ideas into successful businesses.
In this mission, Tech4Good aims to bridge the gap between ICT skills and real-world problem-solving, fostering a new generation of socially conscious tech entrepreneurs.
