Powering a Global Gathering of Leaders and Change‑Makers with Seamless Digital Experiences

Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology company Tencent, today announced that it is collaborating with the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as “Summer Davos.” The event will bring together more than 1,700 global leaders in Dalian, China, from June 23 to 25, 2026.

Through reliable live streaming and broadcast-grade signal transmission powered by Tencent Cloud, together with the Forum's first official Weixin/WeChat Mini Program, this collaboration will enhance the connected experience for attendees in Dalian and enable audiences worldwide to follow key sessions and discussions.

Building a Secure and Scalable Digital Experience

Leveraging its global cloud infrastructure, Tencent Cloud will support Summer Davos through a suite of media and acceleration technologies designed to deliver high-quality digital experiences for participants and audiences in China.

Tencent Cloud's Cloud Streaming Services (CSS) will enable the live streaming of 53 forum sessions across four channels, providing stable, low-latency delivery of key sessions and discussions. At the technical level, StreamLink will deliver secure, cross-continental transmission of the four primary live feeds between the Dalian venue and the Geneva studio, helping ensure resilient global connectivity throughout the event. 

To support instant replay and on-demand viewing, Tencent EdgeOne will provide content delivery acceleration and security capabilities, enabling efficient and secure content distribution to audiences at scale. 

Together, these technologies power a secure and scalable digital foundation for Summer Davos, enabling seamless content delivery and audience engagement before, during, and after the event. 

Enhancing Engagement through the Weixin/WeChat Ecosystem

Ahead of Summer Davos, the World Economic Forum will launch its first official Weixin/WeChat Mini Program. Powered by Tencent, it will provide participants in Dalian and audiences in China and around the world with convenient access to event information, live content and interactive services. 

By bringing the event experience into China’s most widely used super-app ecosystem, the Forum expands access to content and services for local audiences, helping drive deeper engagement.

Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President of Tencent Cloud and Head of Tencent Cloud International, said, “We are honored to support the World Economic Forum’s Summer Davos 2026 in Dalian. This partnership reflects Tencent Cloud’s commitment to enabling global platforms with secure, scalable, and innovative digital services. By powering the event with EdgeOne and cloud streaming capabilities, we are helping to create a seamless digital environment that helps connect leaders and ideas worldwide.”
