Currently, the technology firm seeks to bring this experience to Europe as it increases its cloud business abroad, said Dowson Tong, CEO of CNBC Tencent’s Cloud Group.
“We have strengths and competence in very specific technological fields, as well as in industry verticals,” Tong said in an interview last week. “These are very unique technological capabilities that have been developed over the years (and) that began with our products in China.”
“So we intend to bring a lot of this technological examination to Europe. We talk to a lot of interested potential customers.”
European push Tencent will lead to us against US hypersels Amazon. Microsoft and Alphabet-Google’s leader, which aggregate is 70% of the share of the cloud market in Europe.
But the Chinese firm hopes to focus on specific areas where it has created opportunities for differentiation from competitors.
Tong said cloud technologies for areas such as video optimization, securing smooth gaming experience, as well as developing and hosting the so-called “Super Apps” as WeChat-Naimbuye Messaging Services.

Tong said Tencent would use a similar approach in Europe when it comes to AI, potentially offering products built on European models.
“Our attention will be given tools that will work with different foundation models, and ultimately this customer’s decision that the model is best for them,” Tong CNBC said.
“So I think that in the end, we always turn to our customers, find the problems they wanted to solve, provide them with tools so that they can achieve what they need, and realize the economic efficiency we can offer.”
