Mobilk - Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, and AC Milan have announced a new sponsorship agreement aimed at creating synergies between the two brands and includes the use of AC Milan’s logo and player images for Huawei’s communication and promotion activities in Italy and abroad.

"We have signed a three year agreement that will allow us to jointly plan and develop a number of business and consumer activities. The agreement with Huawei will offer great business opportunities in the Chinese market and I am confident that this partnership will give the two of us mutual satisfaction."
