HONOR Advocates Open Collaboration and AI Innovation at MWC Barcelona 2025

At MWC Barcelona 2025, HONOR made a compelling case for open collaboration and innovation in the AI-driven future. Participating in two prominent discussions, the Connect X Fireside Chat and the AI+ Panel Discussion, HONOR joined forces with industry leaders to explore the challenges and opportunities presented by AI technology. Central to these discussions was the HONOR ALPHA PLAN, a bold strategy unveiled by HONOR’s CEO, James Li, aimed at fostering an intelligent ecosystem through cross-industry collaboration.

Building Intelligent Ecosystems Beyond Raw Connectivity

In the Connect X Fireside Chat, HONOR emphasized the need to move beyond mere connectivity to build intelligent ecosystems that seamlessly integrate with users’ lives. HONOR’s vision includes technology that anticipates and simplifies daily tasks—ranging from smartphones effortlessly connecting to vehicles and smart homes to wearables offering personalized health insights. This approach, part of the HONOR ALPHA PLAN, focuses on a human-centric design that merges cutting-edge technology with practicality, transforming productivity and societal interactions.

James Li, CEO of HONOR, highlighted this shift: “As we move into the physical AI era, we need to open our industry boundaries and co-create a new paradigm for the AI ecosystem. This can be done by opening the industry’s AI capabilities to provide a platform for a wider range of devices, enabling seamless collaboration across different operating systems, and building a value-sharing ecosystem.” His call for open collaboration underscores HONOR’s commitment to maximizing human potential in an increasingly intelligent and connected world.

Collaboration as a Key Driver for AI Connectivity and Innovation

The discussions also shed light on the significance of collaboration in establishing unified AI connectivity standards. HONOR has been proactive in promoting open collaboration with key industry leaders, recognizing that a unified effort is essential to navigate the complexities of AI’s evolution. As the industry transitions into the physical AI era, the need for interoperability and open standards becomes crucial.

Emphasizing On-device Technology and Privacy

Privacy emerged as a cornerstone of HONOR’s strategy during the AI+ Panel Discussion. By showcasing innovations like the world’s first GUI-based mobile AI agent, all-ecosystem exchange technology, and AiMAGE, HONOR demonstrated a balanced approach between on-device AI and cloud-based computing. The focus on processing sensitive data on-device first, coupled with secure cloud integration, aligns with HONOR’s recently published Privacy Protection White Paper. The paper outlines five principles, including data minimization, on-device protection, and encryption, reinforcing HONOR’s commitment to user privacy.

The Path Forward with HONOR ALPHA PLAN

Concluding the discussions, HONOR reiterated the importance of breaking down industry barriers to build an open and intelligent AI-powered world. By executing the HONOR ALPHA PLAN in partnership with industry leaders, HONOR aims to foster a value-sharing ecosystem that maximizes human potential. As the AI landscape continues to evolve, HONOR’s strategic focus on open collaboration and privacy-first innovation positions it at the forefront of shaping an intelligent, interconnected future.
