As part of the examination and monitoring of the issues inherent in the acceleration of technological disruptions, the Royal Institute for Strategic Studies (IRES) took part in the World Congress of Digital Technologies "MWC 2023", organized in Barcelona from February 27 to March 2, 2023.
The IRES delegation notably visited the Huawei Technologies Pavilion, during which it learned about the new generation of digital infrastructures "Gigaverse" as well as the use cases of these technologies in key areas such as education, health, agriculture, industry, mobility and finance.
At the end of this visit, the Director General of IRES, Mr. Mohammed Tawfik MOULINE, held a working meeting with the Vice President of Huawei Technologies, in charge of the Government Affairs Department, Mr. Frank XIANG and the Executive Vice President of Huawei-North Africa, Mr. Philippe WANG.
