Every sphere of life has become digitally transformed, from education to business.

Mr. Faisal started his engaging speech with a brief overview of his roles and achievements, inspiring the students to, in his own words, "choose the right path, not the easy one". Students gained perspective on industry trends in the technology sector as he shed light on the fact that in a world where technological innovations become redundant in a day, Huawei has managed to not only adapt to the changing business atmosphere but also lead in through technological innovation. He further explained how Huawei’s success is attributed to the fact that the company is able to think beyond the immediate future and encouraged the audience to do the same at every level possible.
The students were able to understand the upcoming technological trends in the industry which included artificial intelligence, big data, augmented reality, block chain, drone, and robotics technology and how each trend will transform the way business is conducted. This talk provided value to students in terms of clarity in career management and it gave students food for thought because as future business leaders, understanding how technology can affect and improve businesses is imperative for success in today's world.
