scenarios. The Challenge is intended to share cutting-edge
industrial knowledge with students to give them pragmatic
understandings of how to propel technological progress that can
directly benefit humankind in near term.
To date, the company has organized a series of contest
activities in partnership with the ICPC Foundation, including the
ICPC Challenge powered by Huawei, ICPC Training Camps, the ICPC
Challenge Championship powered by Huawei and so on. This continuous
investment reflects the company's commitment to improve overall
skill levels and expand the talent pool of the international coding
