The Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) renewed a partnership agreement with Huawei on 17 July 2025. The collaboration, anchored within TUT’s Faculty of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), signals a shared commitment to fostering innovation, expanding access, and enhancing South Africa’s digital capabilities.

A key highlight of the agreement was Huawei’s awarding of R2 million in bursaries to high-performing ICT students. The latest agreement builds on nearly a decade of collaboration between the two institutions.

Since the establishment of the TUT-Huawei ICT Academy in 2016, over 1,000 students have received training and certification in advanced technologies such as 5G, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
