on september 5, the 2024 tencent global digital ecosystem conference was held at the shenzhen international convention and exhibition center, with the theme of "intelligent new machines and cloud-driven growth". tom tang, senior executive vice president of tencent group and ceo of the cloud and smart industry group, said that many companies are currently facing multiple internal and external challenges, and even fall into "involutionary competition", but if the cake does not grow, the result is a "zero-sum" game. the core of corporate growth lies in jumping out of the framework and exploring new developments in the industry. "using data to improve efficiency, following the trend, and setting sail for the sea are the three directions for companies to break through growth."
tang daosheng delivered a keynote speech
tang daosheng revealed that over the past year, tencent cloud has continued to focus on self-research and promote integration, making its business more healthy and sustainable: the number of customers served together with partners has exceeded 2 million; the number of partners with orders exceeding one million has achieved double-digit growth; the income of many saas partners has more than doubled; and the growth rate of international business is also above double digits.
"it is unrealistic to expect big models to bring about huge changes to general companies in the short term. using artificial intelligence to reduce costs and increase efficiency in existing business scenarios and improve operational efficiency is a reliable path to long-term stability." tang daosheng said that the first growth method is to improve efficiency through data and focus on core scenarios.
at present, tencent's hunyuan big model has been implemented in more than 700 business scenarios of tencent, and tencent's ai capabilities have also taken root in thousands of industries. according to the latest report released by superclue, a domestic big model evaluation organization, the total score of tencent hunyuan turbo ranks first in china. among the 11 capability items evaluated, 8 core tasks ranked first in china, and the effect of chinese scenes is comparable to gpt-4o.
the second growth strategy is to follow the trend and seize new industry opportunities. tang daosheng pointed out that the country's "14th five-year information technology plan" lists key basic software, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other key software as "core technology breakthrough projects in the information field." the technical level of domestic software has been aligned with leading foreign software technology companies, and they understand customers better, have higher cost-effectiveness and better services.
he particularly emphasized that when talking about the hard technology of the digital industry, people always subconsciously think of hardware such as chips and lithography machines, but software is also a very important core component of information technology and the soul of the development of the new generation of technology. "if chips or hardware devices are the body of computing, then software is the brain. software often defines the direction of hardware development and allows hardware devices to release greater value." he called for a more diversified open soft and hard technology ecosystem to encourage the vigorous development of multi-cloud and multi-core.
the third growth opportunity is to go global and explore the global market. according to relevant research, 90% of chinese companies are interested in expanding overseas business, and nearly a quarter of them list going overseas as one of their top priorities in the next 1 to 3 years. however, which target markets should be selected? which country should be tested first? what kind of products are more in line with the needs of the local market? how to compete with international competitors in a differentiated manner? what are the local industrial policies, tax regulations, business licenses, and data compliance requirements? how to quickly implement successful domestic business and management experience? these questions need to be answered by companies going overseas. tencent cloud can provide technical product capabilities including audio and video, edge acceleration, cloud native products, big data and databases, security and compliance, ai, etc., paving the way for chinese companies to expand overseas.
at present, tencent cloud has successfully served more than 10,000 overseas customers, providing them with reliable and stable online services.
“tencent will continue to build on the industrial internet to help companies embrace digital intelligence, promote integrated innovation and target the global market, and achieve growth breakthroughs through breakthroughs in new technologies and new markets.”
