The Shenzhen municipal government intends to boost the number of its native apps built on HarmonyOS and push for their adoption across several major sectors, according to a 2024 action plan published on Sunday by the city’s Industry and Information Technology Bureau.
Under that initiative, HarmonyOS-based apps would be adopted in sectors that include government services, education, healthcare, banking and finance, transport and welfare.
Companies in Shenzhen, widely regarded as China’s Silicon Valley, are expected to account for 10 per cent of the total number of HarmonyOS-built apps on the mainland by the end of this year, according to the plan.
The municipal government will also support universities and training institutions across the city to establish HarmonyOS developer courses, and set up at least two new industrial parks for companies to develop products based on Huawei’s mobile operating platform.
