  "account": "In a significant gathering held in Hong Kong on November 9, 2026, over 100 industry leaders from diverse sectors convened at the HDD (Huawei Developer Day) HarmonyOS Ecosystem Executive Summit. The event aimed to foster collaboration and innovation among enterprises in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) as cross-border travel and lifestyle demand surges. The summit, themed \"Open Innovation · Mutual Success,\" brought together representatives from financial services, transport, catering, property, and education to explore how an independent, secure digital foundation can amplify synergy and open new commercial opportunities.\n\nHuawei Consumer Cloud Service President Jason Zhu emphasized the company's commitment to being a trusted technological foundation, offering local industries a resilient choice. As user experience in the Chinese mainland evolves from \"easy to use\" to \"loved to use,\" Huawei seeks to partner with stakeholders to enhance outbound experiences for cross-boundary travelers. The summit featured a panel discussion, where industry experts shared their experiences with HarmonyOS and its potential for various sectors.\n\nVocational Training Council Deputy Executive Director Dr. John Hui highlighted the introduction of HarmonyOS curriculum and training center, aligning with the multi-platform strategy to equip regional enterprises with practical technical solutions and nurture a skilled talent pool to capitalize on cross-border development opportunities. Octopus Cards Limited reported an elevenfold growth after embracing HarmonyOS, with 14,000 cards activated within 30 days, underscoring strong user loyalty. Centaline Data Technology's Chief Technology Officer Joe Ng noted HarmonyOS's role in engaging high-net-worth buyers, while Macau Pass Technical Director Jayden Wong detailed plans to integrate smart lifestyle services in Macau, focusing on smartwatch payments, mobile services, and bundling dining and entertainment bookings.\n\nVisitors at the summit explored an interactive exhibition showcasing HarmonyOS applications and cross-device functions, such as touch-to-connect transfers, cross-device sharing, interactive service cards, multi-window productivity on foldable devices, and synchronized calendar widgets. Nearly 40 well-known institutions displayed their emblems on the Partner Logo Wall, with close to 25 key local applications adapted, and ten prominent services launched in October, including YUU, Fairwood, Midland Realty, Call Taxi Plus, and CityUHK campus portals.\n\nThe surge in HarmonyOS adoption is evident, with active devices running HarmonyOS 6 and HarmonyOS 7 surpassing 90 million, nearing the 100-million mark. This expanding user base presents substantial opportunities for regional businesses to deliver seamless outbound and lifestyle experiences to the growing number of southbound visitors, executives, and cross-boundary commuters who rely on HarmonyOS daily.",
