Tencent
Chinese technology conglomerate; participated in IQM Quantum Computers' €39M Series A (November 2020) as a strategic investor.
Tencent Holdings Limited, a Chinese technology conglomerate founded in 1998 and headquartered in Shenzhen — the world's largest video game publisher and operator of WeChat, with roughly $105B in trailing-12-month revenue and a market cap of approximately $557B (August 2026). Beyond its core businesses, Tencent runs an internal Tencent Quantum Lab and has made scattered strategic quantum-computing bets, including IQM's €39M Series A (Nov 2020, alongside lead investor MIG Fonds) and a $12–18M round for Singapore's Horizon Quantum Computing — a modest, recurring but opportunistic pattern rather than a dedicated quantum or defense-tech fund. No individual Tencent dealmaker was named in coverage of the IQM round.
