The 2026 Shanghai Enterprise Going Global and Cross border Financial Services Expo will kick off on November 20th, providing full chain services to help enterprises go global

The pace of Chinese enterprises going global is shifting from 'selling products' to 'building systems'. In the past few years, the main theme of overseas enterprises has been orders and exports; Nowadays, more companies are moving their production capacity, brands, teams, and supply chains as a whole to overseas markets. Industry observers generally believe that Chinese enterprises' overseas expansion has entered a stage of high-quality development, with manufacturing landing, localized operation, and compliance management becoming unavoidable topics.

The direct result of this change is a significant increase in the demand for professional services from enterprises. How to establish overseas entities, how to handle compliance filing, how to transfer funds across borders, and how to hedge exchange rate risks are not easy to digest solely within the company. The 2026 Shanghai Enterprise Going Global and Cross border Financial Services Expo was born to meet this demand. The exhibition will be held from November 20th to 22nd at the Shanghai World Trade Exhibition Center, showcasing the full chain service resources of enterprises going global, and providing a docking platform for enterprises planning to go global, those already going global, and those deeply involved in cross-border markets.

Where is the sea going and what services are needed

Enterprises at different stages have varying demands for services. Start up companies preparing to go abroad often need market research, interpretation of target country policies, and access assessments to first clarify where to go and whether they can go; For enterprises that have already landed, they pay more attention to local employment, factory site selection, supply chain support, and compliant operation to solve the problem of 'not being able to stand steadily'; Mature enterprises that have been deeply rooted for many years focus on cross-border financing, fund settlement, exchange rate management, and other aspects, pursuing 'going further'.

This exhibition has set up corresponding service displays around the above needs, covering multiple aspects such as compliance filing, overseas entity landing, supply chain support, financial support, market expansion, manpower construction, and digital operation. The participating institutions include foreign-related legal and compliance services, cross-border finance and taxation and human resources, supply chain and logistics, market expansion services, as well as financial institutions such as banks, cross-border payments, and foreign exchange management. When companies arrive, they can quickly find corresponding service providers according to their own stage and fill in scattered information at once.

From the perspective of the industry, there are also significant differences in the overseas paths of different tracks. Manufacturing enterprises often go global with the landing of production capacity, and their demands for site selection, employment, and supply chain are concentrated; Cross border e-commerce and digital service enterprises pay more attention to platform compliance, logistics fulfillment, and data security; Emerging tracks such as new energy and intelligent hardware are investing more in overseas financing, intellectual property layout, and localized certification. The exhibition is based on this differentiated demand, organizing participating institutions according to service links and industry attributes to facilitate on-demand docking for enterprises. Enterprises can come to the scene with specific problems to seek solutions, or supplement their overall understanding of the target market through on-site communication, using exhibitions as an information verification link before making overseas decisions.

Cross border financial services are the key area of this exhibition

Financial services are an indispensable part of the entire chain of going global. Cross border foreign exchange payments, trade financing, overseas fund management, and exchange rate risk hedging all directly affect the efficiency and security of a company's funds. With the improvement of the convenience of cross-border use of RMB, enterprises have more choices for cross-border fund arrangements, but the understanding and implementation of policies still require the support of professional institutions.

This exhibition specifically sets up a financial services sector, bringing together service institutions such as cross-border settlement, foreign exchange management, overseas financing, and exchange rate hedging. On site consultation will be provided on topics of concern to enterprises, such as cross-border fund compliance operations and exchange rate risk management, to help them make good use of cross-border financial policies and reduce the cost of fund circulation. For financial institutions, this is also a window to reach out to overseas corporate customers and showcase their service capabilities.

Exhibition and viewing, each taking what they need

For service agencies and overseas enterprises, the value of participating in this expo is very direct. For enterprises, this is an opportunity to compare service providers, streamline their overseas routes, and fill in resource gaps; For institutions, it is a window to directly face target customers, showcase professional capabilities, and expand cooperation channels. The exhibition site brings the distance between supply and demand closer through centralized display and communication, making the connection more efficient.

For exhibiting companies, it is recommended to clarify their exhibition goals before the exhibition - whether to focus on customer acquisition, brand exposure, or seek channel cooperation, and prepare corresponding exhibition materials and on-site tour guides accordingly, so as to produce more clear results in limited time. For business leaders planning to visit, it is recommended to sort out the current stage of the company's overseas expansion and unresolved issues in advance, visit the exhibition area with the problems, focus on visiting the corresponding service exhibition area, and establish follow-up contacts with institutions for further follow-up after the meeting. The exhibition gathers a large number of overseas service providers, financial institutions, and overseas organizations. Participating companies can quickly reach potential customers and gain insights into policy dynamics and market demand changes, providing a basis for business adjustments.
