|description=Tencent, founded in November 1998 in Shenzhen, China, is a leading multinational technology conglomerate. Established by Ma Huateng (Pony Ma), Zhang Zhidong, Chen Yidan, Xu Chenye, and Zeng Liqing, the company initially focused on instant messaging with its launch of QQ in 1999. Tencent expanded its portfolio to include the highly popular WeChat app in 2011, which became a cornerstone of its success with over a billion users worldwide. Known for its dominance in the gaming sector, Tencent owns stakes in global companies like Riot Games, Epic Games, and Supercell. Its diverse operations now span cloud computing, artificial intelligence, fintech, and entertainment, making it one of the world's most valuable companies.


In addition to its core business operations, Tencent has invested heavily in research and development, establishing Tencent AI Lab in 2016 to focus on artificial intelligence and Tencent Youtu Lab to specialize in computer vision and facial recognition technologies. The company holds stakes in more than 700 businesses worldwide, including prominent investments in Tesla, Spotify, and Snap Inc. It has also contributed to public welfare through the Tencent Foundation, founded in 2007, which supports projects in education, disaster relief, and environmental protection.
