At this forum, a senior Harmony evangelist from Huawei indicated that the development of the Harmony ecosystem has entered a stage of accelerated flywheel rotation, and the resulting demand for Harmony talent will continue to grow explosively. Huawei will continue to increase its investment in training resources, technical support, and one-stop services, and work with industry policies, universities, third-party service providers, and developer communities to continuously cultivate Harmony talent. Currently, more than 20 provinces and cities across the country have issued policies to support Harmony talent, and over 400 universities have opened Harmony courses and trained Harmony technical talent through projects such as the Smart Base and industry-university cooperation. Third-party training service providers have empowered more than 300,000 Harmony developers. Learning Harmony and obtaining HarmonyOS developer certification will become a new trend in universities and developer circles.
