Overall

In 2010 , Huawei released a HIRP CFP overseas in Europe for the first time (in UK and Germany).

Europe is the region where Huawei invest the most for HIRP research projects overseas since the

last years. And the investment will continue to enlarge in the coming years.

The research projects cover many of the leading-edge ICT technologies and some basic research.

Many of the projects achieved outstanding results that empower Huawei’s products and solutions.

Nobel prize winner cooperates with

Huawei through a HIRP FLAGSHIP

project in the field of Graphene.
