Fast Company, the highly-respected and award-winning US-based monthly magazine, has ranked Huawei the fifth most innovative company in the world for 2010, behind only Facebook, Amazon, Apple, and Google. Huawei was the only new-entrant to the list of the top five most innovative companies.
Fast Company credited Huawei' s strong business growth in 2009 to its leadership in customer-centric innovation.

Commenting on this honor, Kevin Zhang, Vice President of Global Marketing, Huawei, said: "One of Huawei's key differentiators is our customer-centric innovation strategy that is focused on understanding operator needs and rapidly delivering customized network solutions to create maximum value. It is a long term investment towards continuous innovation designed around close partnerships with operators to overcome challenges and achieve business success."
