Resilienceapac – Huawei Eyes Southeast Asia in a strategic push to expand its artificial intelligence (AI) chip business, aiming to challenge Nvidia’s dominance in the region. The Chinese tech giant has actively promoted its Ascend 910B chip to countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Thailand. While no official agreements have been signed, Huawei’s actions signal growing ambition to become a key player in Southeast Asia’s accelerating AI race.
As Huawei Eyes Southeast Asia, the company’s spotlight is on the Ascend 910B a powerful AI chip built for deep learning and high-performance computing. With this move, Huawei seeks to offer a strong alternative to Nvidia’s widely used AI GPUs, especially in emerging markets looking to diversify their technology sources.
The Southeast Asian region is ripe for AI investment, with governments and industries adopting digital transformation strategies. Huawei’s AI push aligns with this momentum, although the company still faces challenges, including trust-building and navigating geopolitical tensions.

In addition to chip offerings, Huawei is also marketing its CloudMatrix 384. A remote AI computing system that allows clients to access Huawei’s AI processing capabilities via the cloud. This offers an appealing solution for countries that lack physical infrastructure or prefer cloud-based deployment.
Due to limited production and ongoing supply issues, Huawei has yet to fully export the CloudMatrix 384 system. The supply constraints reveal the company’s broader challenges in scaling up innovation amid global restrictions.
Huawei Eyes Southeast Asia not just as a sales target but as a strategic front in the global AI landscape. Its efforts in AI chip development and cloud systems could reshape regional tech ecosystems. Provided it can overcome supply limitations and geopolitical barriers.
In the coming months, Huawei’s success in Southeast Asia may well define its role in the next wave of AI development one that’s not just global. But increasingly regional and decentralized.
