Dr Mohamed Madkour, Huawei's vice-president for ICT Solutions and Marketing in the Middle East and Central Asia, spoke at MWC26 in Doha about how mobile AI is set to reshape the technology landscape in the Middle East over the next five years. Madkour highlighted that the convergence of 5G-Advanced and artificial intelligence would usher in a new era of mobile AI, creating opportunities for technologies beyond smartphones and traditional telecommunications.
The region, an early adopter of 5G, is well-positioned to embrace this mobile AI era, with potential applications in autonomous vehicles, wearables, smart glasses, robots, and drones. Madkour stated that this transformation would lead to differentiated, guaranteed experiences tailored to devices, services, locations, and offerings, creating new value for both consumers and telecom operators.

The company integrates intelligence throughout the technology value chain, from infrastructure to applications and services.
Madkour emphasized the importance of resilience in technology, particularly in the face of geopolitical uncertainty, and highlighted Huawei's 24-year presence in Qatar, aligning with the country's national priorities and digital transformation vision under Qatar National Vision 2030.
