Mr. Hou Jinlong, Director of the Board of Huawei and President of Huawei Digital Power, stated in the opening speech that decarbonization, electrification, digitalization, and intelligence have become the long-term trends of global energy transition. However, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the energy transition. Different regions and economies face varying and structural complex challenges. In regions with high renewable energy penetration, the focus is on system safety. In emerging economies, the focus is on ensuring power supply and reducing costs. In underdeveloped regions, the focus is on inclusive access to electricity. The integration of grid-forming technology with AI enables renewable energy to achieve low cost, high reliability, sustainability, and supply security. This provides a brand-new, replicable, and feasible solution for energy transition. Huawei Digital Power is committed to working with all partners to promote the vision of “grid forming everywhere and AI for everywhere” and build a healthy, prosperous, and sustainable digital power industry ecosystem.

Zhou Jianjun stated: “Electricity is essential for computing. Today, in the AI era, the startup, shutdown, and load fluctuations of a large AIDC campus can all impact grid operations.” He emphasized that as the penetration of renewable energy continues to rise, the power grid itself is also evolving, with local grid strength declining and volatility and uncertainty increasing. Future AIDCs must not only adapt to weak grids and maintain stable operation during grid fluctuations, but also support the grid and become a key “grid-friendly” node. Therefore, the integration of generation, grid, load, and storage has become an inevitable choice for AIDC development.”

“Energy storage technologies must overcome two barriers to achieve large-scale deployment: affordability and availability,” said Dr. Nazar Yi, Chief Technology Officer of HiTHIUM.

Venue sales teams spend up to 70 percent of their week on administrative work rather than selling; triaging leads by hand, checking calendars across multiple spaces, and building proposals from scratch for every inquiry. The cost of that overhead compounds quickly, with up to 50 percent of RFPs going to the first venue to respond and nearly half of all available venue days go unbooked industry-wide. MAX for Sales works alongside a venue’s existing sales team inside the Momentus platform to optimize these tasks, built around three core engines: Lead Engine – automatically captures, deduplicates, and scores every inbound inquiry, so reps see the highest-value opportunities first instead of the loudest ones. Calendar Engine – resolves booking conflicts and recommends the highest-value hold using real revenue data, not gut instinct. Revenue Engine – builds complete proposals with upsells and projected margin included, not just the room.
