In October this year, Tencent Cloud reported that its active overseas customer base had doubled over the past year, while international demand for its AI products and services had grown at a triple-digit rate. Tencent also highlighted its continued focus on practical AI adoption, expanding enterprise AI capabilities and helping organisations translate AI innovation into measurable business outcomes.

These include solutions such as WorkBuddy, an AI office productivity agent for everyday office tasks; CodeBuddy, an AI-powered coding assistant; and Miora, an AI-native creative studio. Tencent Cloud also introduced additional specialised AI tools for key business functions:

• MAGIC AI, Tencent Marketing Cloud's agentic AI marketing workspace, helps marketing teams discover audiences, turn business goals into campaign plans and test what works — moving from insight to execution while critical actions remain subject to human approval.
• Tencent Cloud WAND combines leading multimodal models, including Hunyuan, with Tencent Cloud's proprietary WAND-Vega models and over 100 in-house media processing tools to support the entire media workflow—from content creation and analysis to enhancement, encoding, and localization.
• Tencent Cloud Enterprise (TCE) AI Suite, a full-stack private cloud foundation powered by TI-ONE, TokenHub, and Agent Runtime, unifies compute, MaaS services and agent management, enabling organisations to modernise while retaining control over sensitive data and critical workloads.

Empowering Singapore Businesses at Home and Abroad

Beyond technology capabilities, Tencent Cloud continues to strengthen Singapore's AI ecosystem through partnerships spanning implementation, cybersecurity, enterprise transformation and industry innovation.

New collaborations with organisations including Beyondsoft, Nexusguard and WeesWares will help support customers across AI and cloud innovation and, as well as cybersecurity resilience. These partnerships complement Tencent Cloud's broader ecosystem strategy of bringing together technology providers, enterprises, developers and industry specialists to accelerate AI adoption across Southeast Asia.

"Singapore serves as an important hub for AI innovation, talent and enterprise adoption in Southeast Asia," said Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President, Tencent Cloud and Head of Tencent Cloud International. "Through our technology, ecosystem collaboration and talent development initiatives, we hope to contribute to a vibrant AI ecosystem that supports long-term innovation and growth in Singapore and across the region."

Developing AI Talent Through Industry Challenges

Tencent Cloud Day Singapore also hosted the Demo Day and Awards Ceremony of the AI CAN DO IT Tencent Cloud Hackathon Singapore 2026, jointly organised by Tencent Cloud and AI Singapore.

Participants presented solutions to challenges contributed by Aspire, DBS, Keppel, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore's Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (NTU LKCMedicine)  and Ryde, applying AI to needs across financial services, real estate, healthcare and ride-hailing. The programme reflects Tencent Cloud's broader commitment to supporting AI talent development and creating opportunities for aspiring builders to gain hands-on experience applying AI to real-world challenges.

In this latest edition of the hackathon, Team OeroAI took home the top prize of S$10,000 under the Digital Native Track for 'TriVerity,' their multi-agent AI solution designed to resolve ride-hailing rider-driver disputes within seconds rather than days.

Through training, mentorship and access to tools including CodeBuddy, WorkBuddy, and Miora, the programme gave participants experience developing and testing applications against industry requirements. The Singapore competition forms part of Tencent Cloud's wider hackathon programme, which has brought together more than 10,000 participants across five markets and generated over 1,500 projects in the past six months.

Tencent Cloud Expands AI Ecosystem in Singapore with New Enterprise AI Capabilities, Partnerships and Talent Development Initiatives

MANAMA, Bahrain, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The fourth edition of Gateway Gulf, hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB), concluded with USD 22.3 billion in announcements, partnerships and deals. More than 110 announcements were made over two days across a diverse range of sectors, including financial services, technology, logistics, manufacturing, tourism, aviation, energy and water, healthcare, education, and other high-growth sectors.

From the main Plenary Stage to the Manama Circle signing stage, Gateway Gulf 2026 was marked by a steady flow of landmark deals, strategic partnerships, and major investment announcements, reflecting the depth and diversity of opportunity across the Kingdom of Bahrain and the wider region. The momentum reinforced Bahrain's position as a trusted destination for global capital and a strategic platform for businesses seeking to access opportunities across the Gulf and high-growth markets worldwide.

Over 75 agreements and memoranda of understanding (MoUs) were signed over the two days of the event, underscoring its focus on turning dialogue into action and highlighting the breadth of partnerships advanced through Gateway Gulf 2026. Four large-scale projects, with a cumulative value of USD 3.89 billion, were awarded Bahrain's Golden License. These projects reinforce the island nation's standing as a strategic regional hub and its ability to attract high-value investments that consistently advance connectivity, innovation, and economic diversification.

Bahrain's position as a gateway to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is supported by its highly connected, business-friendly ecosystem and diversified economy, with non-oil sectors contributing around 86% to GDP. These strengths position the Kingdom as a compelling base for businesses and investors seeking to scale and pursue long-term opportunities across the region. With a combined economy exceeding USD 2.38 trillion, the GCC is a hub for capital, talent and innovation, with sustained investment in infrastructure, regional integration and economic diversification continuing to underpin its resilience.

Held at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay on 1–2 November under the theme "Reimagining Global Partnerships, Powering Sustainable Growth", the flagship investment forum brought together ministers, investors and global C-suite executives to forge new partnerships, mobilise cross-border capital and advance investment across high-growth sectors. The fourth edition reinforced Bahrain's role as a platform for regional and international partnership, translating its competitive strengths into tangible investment, stronger trade links, and opportunities for sustainable growth. With a clear focus on converting dialogue into action and opportunity into investment, Gateway Gulf continues to deliver partnerships with lasting economic impact for Bahrain, the region, and markets beyond.
