In the spring of April, an ecological grand event with the theme of "Harmony and Prosperity, Intelligent Future" kicked off in Shenzhen. Wang Xiang, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of ZTE Corporation, stood on the stage of the 2026 ZTE China Ecological Cooperation Partner Conference. Faced with partners from around the world, he firmly announced that ZTE Corporation has officially launched the "Harmony Ecological Action Initiative". This is not only a strategic upgrade, but also a commitment made by ZTE and its ecosystem partners in today's era of artificial intelligence sweeping across thousands of industries: to work together to break down barriers, open up capabilities, and in a "harmonious coexistence" manner, intelligently open up a more inclusive and win-win AI new future.

From single point collaboration to deep collaboration

In his keynote speech, Wang Xiang first reviewed the fruitful achievements made alongside ecological partners in 2025. He specifically pointed out that under the guidance of the "Partner+ZTE" collaborative mechanism, the cooperation between the two sides has already surpassed the early single point project docking, achieving deep collaboration across all dimensions such as research and development, production, supply, sales, innovation, service, and investment. This close collaboration of "production, supply, marketing, innovation, service, and investment" has successfully created a new paradigm of end-to-end full industry chain ecological cooperation, laying a solid foundation of trust and capability for addressing the complex challenges of the AI era. This year's deep cultivation has made the relationship between ZTE and its partners no longer a simple buying and selling relationship, but a community of shared values.

Four core measures

Facing the year 2026 full of opportunities and challenges, Wang Xiang has clearly outlined a roadmap for joint action for partners, centered around four major initiatives:

Ability to open up: This is the cornerstone of ecological openness. ZTE Corporation will focus on the core capability layer, infrastructure layer, capability platform layer, application layer, and terminal layer, and fully open source and open up its accumulated core capabilities. This move aims to leverage the company's unique advantages in architecture level collaborative optimization, work together with partners to enhance system compatibility and overall performance, and jointly build an open and efficient AI computing power base to lower the threshold for industrial innovation.

Strong cooperation: Everything is centered around customer value. ZTE Corporation will focus on integrating high-quality ecological resources in the industry chain, achieving complementary capabilities with partners, and strengthening two-way linkage in the two key dimensions of "technology" and "market", continuously enhancing AI's full stack and full scenario solution capabilities. Market development will focus on deepening the cultivation of 6 key industries, 30 vertical sub industries, and 240 segmented scenarios, achieving perfection and refinement.

Common benefit: Ensure sustainable ecological health. ZTE Corporation promises to deepen two-way investment with partners, improve interest protection mechanisms, and create more flexible and diverse cooperation models. By sharing a larger pool of business opportunities and resources, we provide our partners with a broader range of benefits, and continuously optimize our cooperation mechanism, so that every sincere partner can benefit from it and achieve true mutual benefit and win-win results.

Empowering: Fully fueling the growth of partners. The company will provide systematic and comprehensive empowerment support to partners from four dimensions: technology, marketing, training, and digital services, helping them enhance their core capabilities and market competitiveness. Especially, we will comprehensively upgrade our one-stop digital service system, based on the Co Claw platform, to provide partners with smarter and more affordable intelligent assistants, fully unleashing the synergy of "ZTE+partners".

Building an open and prosperous AI new ecosystem together

At the end of his speech, Wang Xiang once again emphasized the long-term nature and importance of the concept of "harmonious ecology". He stated that ZTE will always use ecology as a link to promote the orderly flow and amplification of knowledge, technology, and commercial value in the industry chain. The company will work together with global partners to explore broader value markets and actively implement the industry vision of making AI technology accessible to the general public and achieving mutual benefit and win-win outcomes for all participants. In the future, ZTE is willing to work with all ecological partners to empower innovation and upgrading of industries in China and even globally through digitization, and jointly build a vibrant, open and prosperous new AI industry ecosystem.Editor/Yang Meiling
