About Huawei

Huawei is a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider. Through our constant dedication to customer-centric innovation and strong partnerships, we have established leading end-to-end capabilities and strengths across the carrier networks, enterprise, consumer, and cloud computing fields. Our products and solutions have been deployed in over 170 countries, serving more than one third of the world’s population.

European Research Institute

With 28 sites across Europe and 2,000 researchers, Huawei’s European Research Institute (ERI) oversees fundamental and applied technology research, academic research cooperation projects, and strategic technical planning across our network of European R&D facilities. Huawei’s ERI includes our Research Center (RC), located in Zurich, Switzerland. A major element of our RC is a new research laboratory focused on the first generation of composable-native computing infrastructure, with the unification of scale-up and scale-out fabrics taking center stage.

The research work of the lab will be conducted not only by Huawei’s internal research staff but also by our academic research partners in universities across Europe. The lab will provide an “open research environment,” encouraging academics to collaborate on fundamental long-term research alongside Huawei staff in a setting that is open and conducive to scientific inquiry, similar to the best universities and research institutes.
