The Top Tech Companies To Watch Out For In 2022

Technology has advanced to unimaginable heights in the past ten years, affecting just about everything we do in everyday life. From the way we work, such as using apps like Slack to communicate between teammates across a range of platforms, to having on-demand access to expert opinions on our favourite sports, such as those in evidence at oddschecker, a platform which displays the best betting odds available across a range of providers. Everything relies on high-quality tech these days, so naturally the tech industry is constantly booming. Here, we're looking at some of the biggest tech companies you should keep your eye on this year.

Alphabet

It's unlikely that you'll find many people alive today who are not at least aware of Google, even if they've never had cause to use any of the platform's services themselves. But ask somebody if they've heard of the tech company Alphabet and, well, it's a different story. But Alphabet is actually the parent company behind Google. Based out of Mountain View, California, Alphabet Inc. was created following a reconstruction of Google back in 2015. While many have never heard of it, Alphabet is one of the world's most valuable companies and is recognized as one of the 'Big Five' American information technology companies alongside Apple, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon.

Huawei Technologies

Honestly, there isn't much Huawei Technologies don't make these days. From mobile phones to broadband, Smart TVs to Smartwatches. First established in 1987 by former Deputy Regimental Head in the People's Liberation Army, Ren Zhengfei, Huawei initially began reselling private branch exchange. Now the company needs no introduction as it is one of the world's most influential tech behemoths, rivalled only by the likes of Apple.

Tencent

Tencent is one of the world's most valuable companies that you've probably never heard of. The Chinese tech conglomerate was only founded back in 1998, but now boasts well over 100,000 employees, creating an abundance of online games as well as music, web portals, e-commerce, and Internet services. Tencent Music alone has 660 million active users and employs 85,800 people.

Cisco

Coming in at number 63 on the Fortune 100 with around $49 billion in revenue and almost 80,000 employees, it's no wonder why Cisco features on our list. Based out of San Jose, California, Cisco was a huge factor in the growth of Silicon Valley. Cisco produces high technology services and products. It also specializes in tech markets with certain specifications such as video conferencing and domain security.
