Huawei recently inaugurated the 2022 edition of the Huawei Global App Innovation Contest (Apps UP) and announced the theme Together we Innovate.
This year’s edition features a new category, “Best Arabic App”, encouraging regional developers to create app solutions that address the region’s needs and enrich Arabic content.
The 2022 Huawei Global App Innovation Contest is a global event held by Huawei to strengthen the skills of regional app developers and drive collaboration to build a connected app ecosystem. Apps UP 2022 competition includes five regions: Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa, and China. The top three outstanding apps in the Arabic language or apps that support the dialectal selection will take home the Best Arabic App award.
With this year’s theme, #TogetherWeInnovate, Huawei has set aside more than US$1 million as prize money for the global contest, in addition to incentives along with individual prizes amounting from US$5,000 to US$15,000.
Participants also get the opportunity to engage and learn from industry experts and have their apps evaluated by a judging panel of experts in several sectors. AppGallery is one of the three top application marketplaces, and developers on the platform can reach 730 million global Huawei device users. They also join a growing community of 5.4 million registered Huawei developers worldwide.
The Best Arabic App category reflects Huawei’s contribution and value to the local digital ecosystem and recognises the significance of the Arabic language in the digital age. The Apps UP contest also aligns with regional and national agendas that centre on nurturing local talents and developing national capabilities, upskilling, reskilling and building a collaborative workforce of the future.
