Set against the historic Guangfulin archaeological site — where 5,000 years of cultural legacy meets the accelerating pace of digital transformation — the Akamai Greater China Partner Summit 2025 brought together partners from mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong for the first time in a unified regional forum.
The two-day event reflected the growth and strength of Akamai’s ecosystem in Greater China and set the foundation for a new chapter of innovation.
Secure and enable enterprises in the AI era
With AI rapidly changing the way we think, work, and live, Akamai product leaders, global partner program teams, and regional executives led a series of high-impact conversations regarding how partners can effectively help your customers accelerate their AI transformation. Topics included:
AI at the edge
Securing digital ecosystems in the AI era
Expanding partner-led services for sustainable growth

Partners received a deep dive into Akamai Inference Cloud.

Success built on the channel ecosystem
A key highlight of the summit was the inaugural Greater China Partner Advisory Board, a strategic forum designed to deepen alignment between Akamai and its regional ecosystem.
Through open discussion on market dynamics, customer priorities, and product strategy, the board reinforced a shared commitment to accelerating cloud, security, and AI innovation in mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
“Our partners are the key driving force behind Akamai’s growth in Greater China. By uniting mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong under one strengthened ecosystem, we are creating a more connected, collaborative, and innovation-driven community. Together, we are unlocking new opportunities in AI, cloud, and security that will shape the region’s digital future,” commented Sean Li, Vice President and Managing Director of Greater China.
