Secretary-General Hu Caiyong presided over the conference which saw representatives from forty members attend reviewing and approving several significant agenda items. Additionally, members representing various entities offered suggestions regarding directions focusing on alliance priorities expected across upcoming three-five years timeframe.
Herein follow summaries excerpted from select representative speeche
Liu Jun
Vice President of Shenzhen ePRO Software Co., Ltd.
Earlier speaker Mr. Jiang from TozedKangwei represented hardware vendor whereas ePRO software enterprise. Integration hardware software necessary enhance ecosystem.
Regarding topic discussion two points share:
HarmonyOS Ecosystem Application Promotion
ePRO Software collaborated Huawei years participated early depth Orla HarmonyOS related projects. As software enterprise inclined application layer team once had hundreds focusing Northward app development. However latter half current year hoped deeper involvement HarmonyOS joint construction establishing dedicated Harmony Ecosystem Development Department.
Actual intervention discovered involved complex technologies operation systems embedded hardware products etc. posed challenges us software companies. Therefore players similar seek guidance alliance clarify specific development directions effective leverage roles. Hope alliance shares exemplary cases matured routes providing subsequent members beginner advanced guides.
World-Class Solution Demand Scenarios
Leaders experts mentioned world-class solutions consider prerequisite world-class requirements scenarios. Requires whole alliance voice externally because individual enterprise voices small collective alliance's driving large-scale Party A application scenario birth benchmark-level solutions.

Shen Xu
Director of Marketing Department at Sichuan Tianyi Comheart Telecom Co., Led.
Tianyi Comheart focuses communication terminals intelligent terminals. May we propose slight appeal Alliance perspective terminal companies.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I would like to put forward a modest request to the alliance. From the perspective of terminal companies, we hope that the alliance will play a leading and coordinating role so as to further deepen the popularization of market education initiatives. While today those seated here have an excellent understanding of Harmony Ecosystem, its prevalence remains inadequate throughout society as a whole.
Because be it B2B or B2C, end consumers always foot final bills. Unless ordinary folks familiar with Harmony Ecosyste they won't shell out money, creating sustainable business cycles becomes challenging.
As terminal device manufacturers eagerly adopt Harmony Ecosyste endorse unified standards saving R&D manpower investment. Yet realizing tangible results hinges critically on comprehensive market education campaigns. Hoping under alliance steering committee guidance everyone pitches in striving excellence in market education endeavors.
Wang Miao
Standard Director at Qingdao Haier Technology Co., Ltd.
I wish to express my views on delivering world-class IoT solutions into the future; there are indeed key terms: one being world-class quality another refers to solutions.
Regarding World-Class Quality
Leadership The IoT solutions we aim to craft conform only to emerging IoT trends needs however must exhibit leadership qualities beyond mere compliance. This implies our technologies and standards achieve international cutting-edge status whereupon the alliance should focus cultivation.
Global Reach Beyond merely offering innovative tech standards proposals we aspire to forge global impact including alignment with international industry alliances standard bodies adopting their governance operational models opportune circumstances contemplate overseas representation offices expanding global footprint naturally prerequisite achieving world-class standing entails bolstering foundational competencies enabling showcase competitiveness influence globally.
Regarding Solutions
Many organizations historically favored either standards or sectors exclusively given IoT decade-long evolution interdependence between them evident. Within this alliance platform drafting standards alone insufficient instead strive toward holistic solutions genuinely address present-day IoT challenges anticipated needs propelling broader IoT advancement.
Du Jinpiao
General Manager of Harmony Ecosystem Service (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.
Purpose of Harmony Ecosystem Service established is to foster prosperity of Harmony Ecosystem. Since inception last year conducted various activities discovered certain challenges during process of driving Harmony Ecosystem.
First suggest actively encouraging chip makers adapt Harmony Ecosystem. Encouraging sign HiSilicon has joined board yet still far short. Over 100 chips adapted Harmony Ecosystem among which HiSilicon accounts about one-third remaining numerous chipmakers yet to join some that did adapt hesitant openly declare limiting factor for alliance development.
Second need actively advocate policy promulgation. Currently adapting Harmony Ecosystem indeed involves upfront costs who bear these adaptation expenses Chipmakers lack motivation continue use outdated systems fortunately cities like Shenzhen ，Chengdu， Wuhan issued favorable policies subsidies. Hope government provides further support help offset upfront adaptation costs.
Even if subsidized e.g. Shenzhen provided billions subsidy largely unused due lack orders. Recent alliance invitation numerous major central state-owned enterprises assume deputy directorship positions bringing substantial order influx springtime arrival. Anticipate more orders flooding in.
Additionally important issue Huawei Ning general manager spoke beyond terminal devices vast number internet applications adapted. Hence call upon everyone collectively work accelerate application adaptation Harmony Ecosystem otherwise remain incomplete ecosystem.
Lastly appeal members internally trust each other. For instance common agreed-upon standards after collective discussion revisions recognized at least alliance membership Whether talent procurement standards demand side supplier side negotiated standards all deserve recognition alliance members belief under collaborative efforts present alliance members certainly able make Harmony Ecosystem even better.
