At the Viva Technology 2025, the largest European technology event, Tencent Cloud made clear its determination to help European companies achieve global competitiveness through cutting-edge AI and cloud solutions. The company emphasized that the accelerating move to connected platforms and multi-cloud strategies are vital enablers of AI’s true capabilities and evolutionary effects.
Dowson Tong, Senior Executive Vice President of Tencent and President of Tencent Cloud & Smart Industries, said the future application of AI is more than operational efficiency and that it requires deeper integration with various industries and daily life. “To realise its full potential and retain global competitiveness, European businesses need to adopt an ecosystem approach,” Tong said during a panel discussion looking at “AI Beyond Scale: Building competitive and sustainable ecosystems”. In a modular, multi-cloud approach to scalable innovation and operational efficiency, all powered by secure digital infrastructure, he said.
With this supporting Europe’s approach to an hybrid cloud model, as 90% of organizations are expected to have employed a hybrid model at the end of 2027 as forecasted by Gartner, Tencent Cloud is eager to support Europe’s decision to rely on both public resources, and private cloud resources.
Tencent Cloud, with its leading AI and cloud technologies as well as strategic synergies with high-growth regions provides AI capability out of the lab and into the real world.
Recent partnerships illustrate how Tencent Cloud is expanding in Europe. The company accomplished it for French multinational pharmaceutical company Sanofi as well, by establishing a central data lake and unified digital platform in China to grow its business.
And the experience of Tencent Cloud is being put to good use across industries, whether it’s creating life-like gaming environments with Cathedral Studios, making driving smarter with Bosch, or bringing in-car entertainment to the next level with Mercedes-Benz and Electronic Arts.
Leveraging on Tencent Cloud’s strong ecosystem of over 11,000 global and local partners and ecosystem of more than 400 solutions and technology providers, covering 30 industries, Tencent Cloud is a trusted partner to provide responsible and sustainable AI innovation for European businesses.
