The 'sea acceleration' in the data
A set of data is rewriting the narrative of Chinese companies going global. According to the information released by the Ministry of Commerce, China's outward investment flow will reach 213.58 billion US dollars in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 11.1%, and the stock of outward investment will exceed 3.4 trillion US dollars, maintaining the top three in the world for nine consecutive years; By the end of 2025, China has established over 50000 enterprises overseas, covering 190 countries and regions. The industry coverage has expanded from traditional manufacturing and trade to multiple categories such as energy, technology, and services. Energy storage, new energy vehicles, cross-border e-commerce, and other tracks have become new growth points for going global in recent years.
Changes are not only reflected in scale. In the early days, going abroad was mainly focused on single trade or product exports; Nowadays, more and more companies are choosing to set up branches, build production lines, and build teams locally, shifting from 'product going out' to 'capacity and brand going in'. A group of leading enterprises have begun to establish research and development centers and after-sales networks overseas, promoting localized operations as a long-term strategy. At the same time, companies' understanding of destination markets is also deepening: from simply focusing on orders to synchronously evaluating local policy environments, labor costs, tax rules, and compliance requirements.
It is worth noting that the other side of the trend of going global is the deepening of enterprises' understanding of risks. Overseas markets are not just about incremental opportunities, policy environment, exchange rate fluctuations, cultural and legal differences may all affect project progress. More and more companies are incorporating 'risk contingency plans' into their overseas planning, and before investing, they need to think carefully about the adjustment and exit mechanisms. This shift from 'rushing for speed' to 'emphasizing quality' also drives professional services to move from an auxiliary role to a decision-making front.
Three questions in deepwater areas: compliance, localization, and information asymmetry
The expansion of scale brings about a synchronous increase in decision-making difficulty. Compared to the early days of going global, the problems faced by Chinese companies today are more specific and systematic.
One is compliance. The company registration requirements, industry access, tax declaration, labor employment, data and privacy protection rules in the destination market are different. If one link is not considered properly, it may affect the project progress. The second is localization. How to build a team, how to implement the supply chain, and how to make the brand accepted by the local market often require the joint efforts of local resources and professional institutions to solve. The third is the information gap. Frequent policy updates in different countries, mixed authenticity of online information, and relying on information obtained through a single channel make it difficult to support complete decision-making.
For many companies preparing or currently going global, the difficulty lies not in whether there is a demand, but in where to obtain reliable information, comparable services, and accessible resources. This is also the irreplaceable value of offline exhibitions.
Why can exhibitions become 'information hubs'
The Overseas Immigrant Study and Property Expo, as well as the Enterprise Going Global and Financial Services Expo, will be held at the Shanghai World Trade Exhibition Center from November 20th to 22nd, 2026. The Enterprise Going Global exhibition area is specifically designed to meet this demand. During the three-day conference, the exhibition area will focus on presenting the service chains related to going abroad: overseas company registration and architecture design, cross-border compliance consulting, destination investment policy introduction, logistics and supply chain services, overseas parks and local operation support, etc., to help enterprises complete a round of centralized research in a limited time.
For participating companies, the expo provides not only exhibition booths, but also several layers of specific value. One is information acquisition: when multiple institutions and destinations appear together, the efficiency of comparing policies and services is much higher than visiting them one by one. The second is service comparison: similar service providers are centrally displayed, and enterprises can horizontally compare from dimensions such as service content, coverage area, and case experience to retain reference for subsequent screening. The third is resource docking: law firms, accounting firms, banks, consulting firms, and park operators can be present at the same venue, and enterprises can establish contacts on site to put the 'finding services' link in advance. Fourth, trend judgment: Through on-site communication and concurrent activities, understand the focus of peers and institutions, and calibrate one's own pace of going global.
Who is suitable to come and how to shop more effectively
This expo is particularly valuable for several groups of people: business leaders who have established overseas operations and need to optimize their architecture and compliance systems; A management team planning to enter a new market and conducting preliminary research; And institutional personnel who provide supporting services for overseas business. It is expected that a total of about 8000 people will attend in three days, which is both an opportunity for information exchange and peer communication.
A few practical suggestions for exhibition companies: Before departure, first sort out your own needs and make a list of 'what you want to know and what type of service provider you want to see'; Prioritize visiting booths related to the target market upon arrival, and directly inquire about case studies and procedures on-site; Enterprises with specific projects can bring a brief project description to facilitate preliminary communication with professional institutions; At the same time, pay attention to the arrangement of activities during the same period, as policy interpretation content often has a high information density.
Going abroad is a long-term project, and the value of information lies in reducing trial and error costs. Completing a centralized information collection and horizontal comparison within three days before making a formal decision is a cost-effective preparation method for enterprises.
Conduct research before making decisions
For enterprises, the timing window for going global often accompanies market opportunities, but the cost of hasty decisions is also higher. A more prudent approach is to pre emptively conduct the research phase: before determining the destination and selecting the service provider, complete a round of systematic information collection and horizontal comparison.
This is also the reason why offline platforms such as expos are increasingly valued by more and more people. Although there is a lot of online information, it is difficult to achieve 'face-to-face verification': whether policy details are accurate, whether service providers are matched, and whether projects are authentic often require face-to-face communication to judge. During the three-day meeting, enterprises can gather policy consultation, comparison of service providers, and institutional docking for the target market to form a relatively complete decision-making draft.
For companies that have already gone global, expos also have incremental value. By understanding the trends of industry peers and observing changes in the service ecosystem, one can reflect on whether their own structure and arrangements need to be adjusted; During a communication with a professional organization on site, sometimes overlooked compliance details or optimization areas can be discovered.
