Ten Ghanaian University students have benefited from the 2025 edition of Huawei’s flagship global Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, “Seeds for the Future,” in China.
This year’s programme, in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, brought together students from the University of Professional Studies, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and Ho Technical University.
The rest are Ghana Communications Technology University, Data Link Institute of Business and Technology and Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development.
A statement issued in Accra said the programme, held in Dongguan and Shenzhen from October 20-26, 2025, brought together over 150 students from across the globe to experience advanced technologies and equip them with hands-on training in 5G, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing and Smart City technologies.
It said during the programme, students had the opportunity to tour smart photovoltaic sites, explore Huawei’s Sanyapo and Xicun campuses in Dongguan, and visit the company’s state-of-the-art labs and exhibition halls.
They also visited other technology companies in Shenzhen to explore drone and gaming technologies and gain first-hand experience of the country’s evolving digital ecosystem.
The statement said in addition to the corporate tours, the students visited the Shenzhen Museum to explore China’s rich culture and participated in a Global Village project where students from 10 countries, including Ghana showcased their diverse cultures.
“The event fostered global friendships and cultural understanding, aligning with Huawei’s mission to build bridges across nations through technology and collaboration,” it added.
Through the “Seeds for the Future” program, the students gained technical knowledge and a global perspective on innovation, cultural diversity, and sustainable development.
Since its inception in Ghana in 2015, the Huawei “Seeds for the Future” program has benefited more than 300 students from various tertiary institutions nationwide.
The programme aimed to bridge the gap between industry and academia while fostering global collaboration in science and technology.
It also seeks to reinforce beneficiaries’ determination to contribute to the growing ICT ecosystem and to inspire other young talents to pursue careers in the sector.
