Immigration, study abroad, real estate, and financial services are all in line. The 2026 Shanghai Expo will open on November 20th

The Overseas Immigrant Study and Property Expo, as well as the Enterprise Overseas Development and Financial Services Expo, will be held from November 20th to 22nd, 2026 at the Shanghai World Trade Exhibition Center. This three-day exhibition combines immigration, study abroad, real estate, corporate internationalization, and financial services in the same venue, hoping to solve a practical problem: the international needs of families and businesses are often interrelated, while information and services are often scattered across different institutions, making it time-consuming and laborious to connect them one by one.

1、 Plate Overview: Multiple Possibilities for One Visit

The immigration sector solves identity and residency issues, covering projects and policy consultations in multiple countries, suitable for families with identity planning intentions; The study abroad section is aimed at students and families, connecting with institutional resources and application planning to solve the problems of 'where to study, how to apply, and how much money to spend'; The real estate sector gathers overseas real estate projects to meet the needs of residential and asset arrangements, while also considering self occupation, education, and long-term use; The enterprise going global sector serves physical enterprises with cross-border business, covering compliance, landing, and operational support, and responding to practical issues encountered by enterprises in the process of entering overseas markets; The financial services sector provides funding support and cross-border financial arrangements for the aforementioned needs. The five sections are independent and interrelated, and the audience can choose the focus according to their own situation, or combine consultation across sections.

For first-time visitors, it is recommended to first identify two to three key areas according to their needs, and then learn about the relevant areas based on the on-site situation. It is not necessary to pursue visiting all the booths at once, and it is more important to solve the core problems clearly. The five sections have their own professional depth and share the same target audience, which is exactly what sets the comprehensive exhibition area apart from single themed exhibitions.

2、 Financial services sector: underlying support for cross-border arrangements

Funding is often an inseparable link between immigration, home ownership, and going abroad. In recent years, measures to facilitate cross-border financial services have continued to be implemented, foreign exchange directory registration has been directly handled by banks, the pilot scope of high-level opening up of cross-border trade has expanded, and some banks have launched small currency direct exchange clearing services to help enterprises reduce exchange costs; The cross-border account system for different scenarios is gradually improving, and enterprises can choose suitable account arrangements according to their business types.

The financial services sector of this expo brings together banks, cross-border payment and settlement institutions, wealth management institutions, etc., covering various aspects such as account opening, cross-border settlement, foreign exchange, financing, exchange rate hedging, and wealth management. For families, they can consult on arrangements for capital outflow, foreign exchange, and tax issues; For enterprises, they can learn about cross-border settlement, financing, and exchange rate management solutions. The co location of financial institutions with immigration, real estate, and study abroad agencies also allows the process of 'understanding arrangements first and then implementing funds' to be completed in one trip.

For high net worth families, wealth management and inheritance arrangements are also worth paying attention to. Some institutions provide comprehensive services such as family offices, insurance allocation, tax planning, etc., integrating long-term financial arrangements between individuals and families into overall planning, and linking them with identity, property, study abroad, and other arrangements. The smoothness of financial arrangements often determines the pace of cross-border plans between families and businesses.

3、 About 8000 people in three days: diverse audience composition

The exhibition will last for three days and is expected to receive approximately 8000 professional visitors. Among the audience present were individuals and families considering their children's education and family planning, investors engaged in overseas asset allocation, business leaders expanding into overseas markets, and industry practitioners engaged in immigration, study abroad, real estate, finance, and other services. The diverse audience composition enables the exhibition to have both service docking and industry communication functions.

For the audience, the three-day schedule can be flexibly arranged: on the first day, focus on understanding key areas, on the second day, supplement and compare plans from different institutions, and on the third day, further confirm details. The overall pace is calm.

Enterprise leaders are present, usually focusing on the connection between cross-border operations and personal and family arrangements; Industry practitioners attend the event mainly to understand market trends, engage in industry exchanges, and collaborate on business. Different roles have different needs, and corresponding communication partners can be found at the exhibition. For exhibitors, understanding the purpose of different roles' attendance can also help adjust the focus of on-site communication.

4、 What can exhibiting companies obtain

For participating organizations, the exhibition provides a centralized scene for customer acquisition and brand display. The target customers are expected to arrive within three days with clear needs, and the institution can complete a large amount of effective communication within the three-day extension period; The cross sector audience composition also brings opportunities for cross industry cooperation for institutions, such as business linkage between financial institutions, immigration agencies, and real estate project parties. In addition, exhibitions held continuously for many years have accumulated a certain level of industry awareness, and participating helps institutions establish a professional image among their target audience.

Years of accumulated experience in organizing exhibitions also mean that participating organizations can use the exhibition platform to accumulate industry reputation, establish long-term connections with target customers, and lay the foundation for future business expansion.

5、 Visiting Guide
