Tencent Cloud Commits to Support European Companies' Global Competitiveness and Realise AI Ambitions

PARIS, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At Viva Technology 2025, Europe's largest technology event, Tencent Cloud highlighted the accelerating shift among enterprises toward connected platforms and multi-cloud strategies, key enablers for unlocking the full potential of AI and driving sustainable innovation and global competitiveness.  

Speaking on the panel "AI Beyond Scale: Building competitive and sustainable ecosystems", Dowson Tong, Senior Executive Vice President of Tencent and CEO of its Cloud & Smart Industries Group emphasized that the future of AI is advancing beyond scale, driving deeper integration into industries and everyday life, transforming how businesses operate and enhancing user experiences.

"The next phase of AI promises more than just operational efficiency," Tong said. "To unlock its full potential and remain globally competitive, European enterprises must adopt an ecosystem-driven approach. By drawing on deep ecosystem expertise, businesses can accelerate time-to-value, deploying and building AI components from customer service agents and knowledge engines to industry-specific AI solutions. A modular, multi-cloud strategy further supports this by enabling scalable innovation while ensuring operational efficiency, all built on secure, scalable digital infrastructure."

With AI reshaping business models, European organizations need resilient, flexible, and diverse cloud infrastructure. According to Gartner, 90% of organizations will adopt a hybrid cloud approach by 2027. Tencent Cloud supports this shift with future–ready AI and cloud solutions for Europe, along with seamless links to high–growth regions, helping businesses turn AI potential into real–world impact and sustain a competitive edge.

In conjunction with the event, Orange is rolling out a soft launch of the upgraded Max It super app, pacing its way to delivering a next-level, simplified lifestyle experience available for its 160m mobile customers across the Middle East and Africa (MEA).

Starting June 2025, the new upgrade will empower users to shop, explore new services and offers from their favourite brands, make utility payments, and book movies and event tickets all through a unified mini-app platform on a single mobile interface. Orange super app integrates Tencent Mini app solution (TCMPP), and is enhanced by Tencent Cloud real-time chat solution, the app also offers a new holistic experience enabling users to chat, transfer funds, and engage within the app, unlike any other telco or e-commerce app currently in the market.

The latest upgrade now features over 20 new mini apps across utilities, e-commerce, and retail. This ecosystem will grow rapidly, as the platform opens up to more than 100,000 partners to develop and onboard mini apps ahead of its official full launch in the near future.

Achieving real-world impact with AI

Beyond boosting global competitiveness for enterprises, Tencent's AI-powered advancements in healthcare are putting effective new tools in the hands of healthcare and medical experts, while also empowering patients to take greater control of their health.

Speaking at "The Intelligent Ally: How Is AI Reshaping Medical Practice?" panel session, Dr. Alex Ng, President of Tencent Healthcare, shared, "Tencent is helping transform the global healthcare landscape by bridging the gap between international pharmaceutical companies and local healthcare systems through advanced digital platforms."

From a Hunyuan-powered medical consultation service being deployed at 10,000 medical institutions in China, to AI-powered medical imaging with over 10 million scans analyzed, Tencent Healthcare's AI-powered solutions are holistic in addressing early detection, operational efficiency, and patient trust.

Tencent Cloud also successfully supported French multinational pharmaceutical giant Sanofi expand their operations in China by building a centralized data lake and unified digital platform, streamlining operations across business units, empowering the organizations to expand and scale in the Chinese market.

Tencent Cloud Commits to Support European Companies' Global Competitiveness and Realise AI Ambitions

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Dec. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of its 90th anniversary, Kärcher Cleaning Systems Sdn. Bhd reaffirmed its global commitment to community and environmental care by sponsoring professional cleaning equipment to Zoo Negara. The handover event held last Friday, 19 December, marked a significant partnership aimed at upgrading the zoo's cleaning standards through sustainable, high-performance solutions.

The sponsored equipment — including the HD6/15 G Classic Pressure Washer, LB 930/36 BP Leaf Blower together with high-performance batteries, and the Hose Trolley HT 3.420 Kit 5/8 — is valued at a total of RM40,592. These tools are designed to support the day-to-day maintenance efforts with efficient, eco-conscious technology.

The HD 6/15 G Classic Pressure Washer is built for heavy-duty outdoor cleaning, ideal for washing animal enclosures, walkways, and service areas. It delivers powerful high-pressure water flow and operates independently of a power supply, making it highly versatile for large outdoor spaces. The LB 930/36 BP Leaf Blower offers quiet yet powerful performance, perfect for clearing dry leaves and debris across landscaped areas without disturbing the animals. Meanwhile, the Hose Trolley HT 3.420 Kit 5/8 ensures organized and efficient water hose management for frequent cleaning tasks throughout the zoo grounds.

The day began with a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, where Kärcher's team actively cleaned several sections of the zoo using the sponsored machines. This initiative aimed to enhance the cleanliness of the zoo's environment and improve the overall living conditions for the animals. The hands-on effort also demonstrated Kärcher's commitment to empowering cleaning teams by equipping them with advanced tools that elevate their productivity and effectiveness.

Following the CSR activity, a formal handover ceremony was held, attended by distinguished guests including YBhg. Dato' Sr. Zaharin Md. Arif, President of the Malaysian Zoological Society, and YBhg. Datuk Rosly Lana, Deputy President of the Malaysian Zoological Society. The ceremony also featured the signing of the guestbook by Ms. Lydia Ng, Head of Marketing at Kärcher Cleaning Systems Sdn. Bhd., symbolizing the collaborative spirit and mutual appreciation between both organizations.

The occasion served as a dual celebration — honoring Kärcher's nine decades of innovation and marking a new chapter in its social impact initiatives in Malaysia. The contribution is expected to significantly enhance the zoo's ability to maintain clean, healthy spaces for its animals and provide a more pleasant environment for visitors. Kärcher also extended its appreciation to Zoo Negara for its continued trust in the brand and its products.

"Reaching our 90th anniversary is a proud milestone for Kärcher globally, and we wanted to commemorate it by making a meaningful contribution locally," said a Kärcher Malaysia representative. "Supporting Zoo Negara reflects our mission to create cleaner, safer spaces through technology that respects both people and the planet."

This sponsorship is part of Kärcher's long-standing commitment to sustainability, innovation, and community partnerships — values that have defined the brand's success for 90 years.
