In the digital intelligence era, enterprises face complex challenges. Charles Yang introduced Huawei Cloud’s four core capabilities that can help enterprises grow. The first is KooVerse, a global cloud infrastructure that offers customers elastic cloud services. Second are data enablement services, which efficiently supply data and unleash data value. Third is a one-stop AI development platform that helps enterprises build AI-native applications with greater ease. Finally, Huawei Cloud brings together the best practices in global intelligent transformation, and provides them through cloud services.

KooVerse: Accelerating global business growth

To meet enterprises’ requirements as they expand into global markets, Huawei Cloud offers KooVerse, a global cloud infrastructure, providing enterprises worldwide with access to Huawei Cloud’s closest resources. This means enterprises can enjoy elastic, secure, and stable services, all while accelerating their global business growth.

DeFacto, a top fast fashion retailer in Türkiye, provides e-commerce services in over 100 countries and faces the challenge of traffic surging more than 10-fold during promotional seasons. Huawei Cloud’s container service, capable of the automatic capacity expansion of 4,000 pods within 30 seconds, has successfully tackled this issue. Furthermore, thanks to the Huawei Cloud KooVerse, DeFacto enjoys a response latency of less than 25 ms locally and 50 ms in Egypt, significantly boosting user satisfaction and order conversion. Since 2023, DeFacto’s services have been running stably on Huawei Cloud for 659 days, a testament to Huawei Cloud’s commitment to security, stability, and quality.

Data enablement: Rapid data insights drive better-informed decisions

Huawei Cloud provides data enablement services that help enterprises mine data value and transform their data-delay weaknesses into early-decision-making advantages. The resulting data insights help enterprises increase sales and profitability.

Neogrid, a top data intelligence and technology company in Brazil, processes massive amounts of data collected from 2 million active products and 500,000 real-time transactions carried out on POS machines daily. Previously, such data was scattered across different platforms, delaying decision making. Neogrid now uses Huawei Cloud DWS to seamlessly integrate data from across multiple platforms, enhancing data integration efficiency by 40% and analysis efficiency by 50%. This gives Neogrid’s customers the ability to obtain the day’s data before the end of work and therefore make decisions earlier.

One-stop AI application development platform: Accelerating AI-native applications

Huawei Cloud has been diving deep into industries’ core scenarios to better understand customer requirements. Huawei Cloud provides one-stop AI solutions for enterprises through full-stack innovation that encompasses compute, foundation models, and toolchains, helping enterprises build their own models and industry-specific AI applications.

Wanhua Chemical, a global leader in the chemical industry, maintains over 30,000 operating devices on its Yantai campus in Shandong, China. Traditionally, these devices incurred huge maintenance costs each year. However, by employing Huawei Cloud’s Pangu Prediction Model, Wanhua Chemical has been able to perform predictive maintenance on over 2,000 key devices, with prediction accuracy exceeding 90%. The company has also used the Pangu Inference Model to build a fault diagnosis system and achieve a 20% reduction in manual inspection time. Furthermore, Wanhua Chemical has built a standard operating procedure (SOP) document review agent on Huawei Cloud’s Versatile agent development platform, and this agent improves review efficiency by more than 50%. Huawei Cloud’s AI capabilities have been implemented in more than 500 scenarios across over 30 industries, enabling enterprises to leap forward in intelligent transformation.

Co-creating transformation best practices: Enabling enterprises’ high-quality global development

Huawei Cloud transforms its experience in digital and intelligent transformation into a replicable reference architecture for the intelligent transition of industries, and provides this to customers through cloud services, enabling high-quality enterprise development.

Changan Automobile has utilized Huawei Cloud’s CodeArts to transform its R&D from a waterfall-style methodology to one that is based on a unified platform, thus boosting R&D efficiency by 30%. Huawei has also supported Changan Automobile by working alongside partners like China Unicom to build “One Cloud, One Network, One Platform”, driving flexible manufacturing with data. Within this platform, 5G and IoT are used to connect 12,000 devices, helping Changan Automobile interconnect data from across every domain. Furthermore, based on Huawei Cloud’s comprehensive data service capabilities, Changan Automobile has constructed a unified data platform, reducing delivery lead time for orders from 21 days to just 15.

Charles Yang highlighted Huawei Cloud’s systematic, end-to-end capabilities that span the cloud foundation, technology enablement toolchains, and experiences, as well as its tailored consulting and professional services, and automation tools and platforms. These offerings are rapidly accelerating the digital and intelligent transformation of enterprises. Huawei Cloud is ready to offer its technology, experiences, and services to enterprises worldwide, work alongside them to build a solid cloud foundation that empowers every step of their transformation, and start a historic journey towards the intelligent era.

European Commission (EC) Approves Henlius and Organon’s BILDYOS® (denosumab) and BILPREVDA® (denosumab), Biosimilars to PROLIA (denosumab) and XGEVA (denosumab), Respectively

SHANGHAI and JERSEY CITY, N.J., Sept. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Inc. (2696.HK), and Organon (NYSE: OGN) today announced the European Commission (EC) has granted marketing authorization for BILDYOS® (denosumab) injection 60 mg/mL and BILPREVDA® (denosumab) injection 120 mg/1.7 mL, biosimilars to PROLIA (denosumab) and XGEVA (denosumab), respectively, for all indications of the reference products.[1],[2]

“The EC approvals of BILDYOS and BILPREVDA mark a pivotal moment in expanding access to essential bone care treatments for millions of Europeans, particularly women, who are disproportionately affected by osteoporosis,” said Nico Van Hoecke, Head, International Commercial at Organon.[3],[4] “These biosimilars may offer additional treatment options across several therapeutic areas associated with bone loss, including osteoporosis, and reflect Organon’s commitment to advancing women’s health through access to important medicines.[4] These approvals, following those in the United States, not only expand the global reach of these biosimilars but also support the sustainability of Europe’s health care systems.”[5],[6]

“These approvals are a testament to the strong collaboration between Henlius and Organon aimed at meeting the needs of both patients and the health care system in Europe,” said Ping Cao, Chief Business Development Officer and Senior Vice President of Henlius. “Through our commitment to scientific excellence and product quality, we’re building on approvals in the United States to bring these biosimilar treatment options to people who need them around the world.”[6]

BILDYOS is indicated for treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and in men at increased risk for fracture, treatment of bone loss associated with hormone ablation in men with prostate cancer at increased risk of fractures, and treatment of bone loss associated with long-term systemic glucocorticoid therapy in adult patients at increased risk of fracture. BILPREVDA is indicated for the prevention of skeletal related events in adults with advanced malignancies involving bone, and treatment of adults and skeletally mature adolescents with giant cell tumour of bone that is unresectable or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity.

BILDYOS and BILPREVDA were approved based on the review of a comprehensive data package, which included structural and functional analytical data, clinical pharmacokinetic data, and a comparative clinical study demonstrating that BILDYOS and BILPREVDA are each a biological medicine highly similar to another biological medicine already approved in the EU (called ‘reference medicine’) in terms of structure, biological activity and efficacy, safety and immunogenicity profile (the intrinsic ability of proteins and other biological medicines to cause an immune response).[4]

In 2022, Henlius entered into a license and supply agreement with Organon, granting Organon the exclusive commercialization rights to several biosimilars, including BILDYOS and BILPREVDA. The agreement covers exclusive global commercialization rights except for China.[7]
