Shenzhen government recently unveiled an ambitious initiative designed to expand Huawei's HarmonyOS ecosystem, according to China's official state news agency Xinhua news.
Strengthen Harmony OS Competitiveness
The aim is to heighten the competitive edge of this platform against more established operating systems such as Android and iOS, thus positioning itself to compete successfully against such operating systems as these.
Shenzhen's Supportive Action Plan
Subtitled the Shenzhen Action Plan for Fostering Native HarmonyOS Open Source Applications by 2024, this ambitious endeavor strives to see at least 10% of China's native HarmonyOS applications being created within Shenzhen by 2024.
Development Initiatives
HarmonyOS' comprehensive development plan calls for the establishment of at least two industrial parks dedicated to its creation as well as training of over one thousand software firms on HarmonyOS technologies.
Further efforts will be directed toward expanding HarmonyOS outsourcing services to cultivate a developer pool of over 500,000, thus encouraging greater adoption of HarmonyOS applications across key sectors in Shenzhen.
Potential Global Expansion Strategies
HarmonyOS as an open-source operating system shows great promise of wider adoption beyond Huawei devices. Through collaborative support from Shenzhen government and Huawei's initiatives to engage developers and partners, HarmonyOS stands to become an efficient global competitor.
Explore Progress With Mate 60 Series
Huawei's recent success with their HarmonyOS-powered Mate 60 series smartphones has established an irreplaceable foundation, solidifying Huawei's standing within China's domestic market and showing promise as an alternative platform. Notably, 16% of smartphones sold in China run HarmonyOS which indicates promising prospects to challenge Android and iOS with strategic investments and alliances.
Future Prospects And Challenges in Education.
HarmonyOS has made considerable strides since its debut, yet still needs to expand its developer pool and address revenue-sharing issues in app stores in order to be truly disruptive in tech industries. By doing this, HarmonyOS could attain prominence within China's plan of strengthening local technology capabilities and become one of the premier platforms.
