Tencent expands AI, cloud capabilities across APAC and global markets

Shenzhen, China – Tencent has announced the global roll-out of new scenario-based artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities aimed at supporting enterprises across multiple industries to enhance operational efficiency and international expansion. 

The announcement was made during the 2025 Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Summit, held at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Centre.

The initiative introduces a suite of AI-driven agent applications, “SaaS + AI” solutions, and technological upgrades to Tencent’s large language model platform. These updates include the global release of the Agent Development Platform 3.0, which enables enterprises to integrate autonomous AI agents for functions such as customer service, marketing, inventory management, and research. 

Tencent has also launched AI Infra’s “Agent Runtime” to strengthen the infrastructure for building and deploying intelligent agents.

“Our newly launched and upgraded solutions will support enterprises in their intelligence and internationalisation journey as they build scalable and sustainable growth,” Dowson Tong, senior executive vice president of Tencent and CEO of the Cloud and Smart Industries Group, said. 

The enhanced SaaS+AI toolkit includes productivity features such as AI Minutes in Tencent Meetings and Tencent LearnShare, a knowledge management tool used by more than 300,000 enterprises. 

New models have also been introduced as part of Tencent’s Hunyuan platform, including the Hunyuan 3D 3.0 series designed for creators and developers in media and gaming. Over the past year, the Hunyuan large model has expanded with more than 30 new models, supporting multilingual translation and multimodal generation capabilities for text, image, video, and 3D content.

Meanwhile, at the Tencent Cloud International Summit, held alongside the main event, the company announced new partnerships with enterprises across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, and North America. Partners include Datacom, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, MUFG Bank (China), True IDC, Coop Bank Oromia, eMAG, and InCloud.

Tencent Cloud is expanding its infrastructure footprint, operating 55 data centres across 21 markets and regions. Plans include a USD150 million investment in its first Middle East data centre in Saudi Arabia, the construction of a third data centre in Osaka, and a new Osaka office. 

Poshu Yeung, senior vice president at Tencent Cloud International, mentioned that the company delivers its deep expertise and experience with AI integration to overseas enterprises. 

“With the launch of new solutions such as Tencent Cloud Agent Development Platform, we hope to expand our reach globally and serve wider industries and enterprise use-cases,” Poshu said. 

International product versions have also been introduced, such as the Tencent Cloud Agent Development Platform, CodeBuddy, and Cloud Mall. 

The EdgeOne security and acceleration platform has been upgraded with large language model integration, launching EdgeOne Pages, which reduces website deployment time from one day to one minute and has already attracted more than 100,000 users globally.

Through these developments, Tencent aims to strengthen its position as a global provider of AI-powered cloud services, with a focus on infrastructure, product innovation, and industry-specific solutions to support enterprise digital transformation.
