BEIJING: Huawei Technologies Co. is offering US$1.5bil to partners willing to build software for its future chip and computing platforms, courting developers worldwide at a time the US is heightening scrutiny of the Chinese tech giant.
China’s largest technology company aims to invest that amount in its existing developer program over the next five years, Deputy Chairman Ken Hu told attendees at an annual customer conference Wednesday.
The programme was established to encourage external parties to create apps for Huawei services, including possibly its just-unveiled in-house smartphone software, HarmonyOS.
