Dubai, UAE, December 16, 2025 - ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a global leading provider of integrated information and communication technology solutions, participated in the 19th Telecom Review Leaders' Summit, contributing two executive sessions focused on inclusive innovation and the role of AI+ICT in national scale digital services.

On the "Women in Tech" panel, Summer Chen, Vice President and General Manager of Branding and Public Relations at ZTE, highlighted that gender equality is an economic imperative and a driver of better technology outcomes. She outlined ZTE's progress in cultivating female leadership and deep tech contributions, emphasizing confidence, capability, and access as keys to accelerating women's impact across standards, AI governance, and product innovation.

On the "AI in EVERYTHING" panel, Zhang Meng, Vice President and Managing Director of ZTE for e& Global, discussed how AI powered infrastructure can underpin real time diagnostics, remote monitoring, and telemedicine at national scale.
