Zhang Zhengjun, CEO from Huawei Bangladesh said, “In the Asia-Pacific region, Huawei has decided to cultivate 100,000 young people with ICT skills by 2026 in South Asia. Huawei believes that the youth is a great resource of Bangladesh. It is a matter of pride for us, especially for the SFTF Bangladesh team at Huawei, to see our youth earn recognition at such a prestigious global platform. I believe our boys and girls will touch the next milestone at 2021 Tech4Good.”
Ramisha Raida Karim, one of the team, shared, “It has been an exceptional journey full of knowledge building, facing challenges, and innovative idea-sharing. This program inspired me to achieve a decent academic record. From the beginning till today, I have been learning how to solve real-world problems, how to think like an engineer, and how my presence can be used for a remarkable change in people’s lives. With the help of this platform. I came to know about numerous problems my country faces which have feasible solutions and can easily be solved with the blessings of technology.”
