The new unified administrative regulations in the field of foreign investment will be implemented in 2026, and enterprises' overseas expansion will shift from "opportunity driven" to "capability driven", with compliance and localization becoming keywords. From November 20th to 22nd, the Overseas Immigrant Study and Property Expo, as well as the Enterprise Overseas Development and Financial Services Expo, will be held at the Shanghai World Trade Exhibition Center.

A manufacturing company preparing to enter the Southeast Asian market usually does not encounter order issues first, but will first encounter a list of problems: which country the company is registered in, how to handle taxation after registration, how to export funds, what procedures are required for local employment, and whether to lay out the trademark in advance. Since 2026, this list has become longer and more specific. Starting from July 1st, the 'Regulations of the State Council on Outward Investment' officially came into effect, which is a new unified administrative regulation in the field of outward investment, incorporating the approval, service, and protection related to enterprise outward investment into a clearer institutional framework. Policies are changing, markets are changing, and the way companies go global is also changing accordingly.
**From 'opportunity driven' to 'capability driven', the logic of going global is undergoing a transformation**
Multiple industry observations show that Chinese companies are shifting from scale expansion to high-quality development when going global. For a considerable period of time in the past, the driving force for many companies to go global came from a single opportunity: lower costs, more orders, and faster growth. Nowadays, facing the combined impact of changes in the trade environment, refined compliance requirements, and intensified local competition, what supports enterprises to go further is their own capabilities - research and development capabilities, supply chain management capabilities, and localized business capabilities. According to industry reports, about 70% of the surveyed companies have actually conducted overseas business, and going global has evolved from the exploration of individual pioneers to a universal and systematic strategic layout.
The structural changes are equally evident. The emerging fields represented by computing power services, industrial robots, and innovative drugs have a considerable growth rate in going global, and supporting services such as cross-border payments, overseas warehouses, and local customer service are also rapidly upgrading. At the same time, cross-border e-commerce and overseas warehouses have been included in the key infrastructure of foreign trade, and the path for brands and services to go global is becoming increasingly clear. In other words, going global is no longer just about 'selling goods', but a systematic project involving registration, compliance, operation, and financing. The demand for professional services from enterprises naturally increases.
**Compliance requirements are more specific, and information dispersion has become a practical threshold**
At the policy level, in October 2025, the Ministry of Commerce and other departments jointly issued the 'Guiding Opinions on Further Improving the Overseas Comprehensive Service System', which aims to build a more complete service network for enterprises to go global from the dimensions of public platforms, local services, and overseas services; Since 2026, many regions have also introduced special measures to support enterprises in exploring international markets. The boundaries of compliance are expanding: overseas trademark and patent layout, overseas business risk monitoring, tax declaration, and data compliance may all affect a company's subsequent operations. For small and medium-sized enterprises, this is both an opportunity and a new learning cost.
Accompanying the growth of compliance requirements is the refinement of division of labor among service agencies. Law firms, accounting firms, human resources agencies, cross-border payment companies, park operators, and industry associations each have their own scope and expertise. Enterprises often need to coordinate with several institutions to clarify a simple problem, with scattered information and inconsistent opinions, resulting in high communication costs. For small and medium-sized enterprises lacking specialized overseas teams, this decentralization itself is the practical threshold on the road to going global.
**Putting scattered information in the same venue is exactly what exhibitions want to do**
From November 20th to 22nd, the Overseas Immigrant Study and Property Expo, as well as the Enterprise Overseas Development and Financial Services Expo, will be held at the Shanghai World Trade Exhibition Center. The event will last for three days and is expected to attract approximately 8000 attendees. One characteristic of this exhibition is the simultaneous presentation of the enterprise overseas section and the cross-border finance section: enterprises can compare company registration and landing services from different countries in the same venue, understand cross-border payment and foreign exchange arrangements, contact professional institutions such as law, finance and taxation, and human resources, and also listen to the interpretation of the latest policies by institutions on site. For companies with overseas plans but unclear paths, three days is enough to complete a centralized survey.
The value of an exhibition lies not in a single signing, but in providing the information and connections needed for decision-making in a centralized manner. For enterprises that have already conducted overseas business, new destination information can be added here, service costs can be compared, and new partners can be found; For companies that have just started thinking about going global, basic questions such as 'where to start' can be answered here to help establish a preliminary cognitive framework. The more links covered by participating institutions, the more comprehensive the sample for horizontal comparison of enterprises, and the finer the granularity of the plan.
**What can the company take with them once they arrive**
In summary, there are several benefits for companies to participate in such expos. One is information acquisition: presenting policies, costs, and market conditions from different countries in a centralized manner is more efficient than searching one by one; Secondly, service comparison: Similar institutions set up exhibitions in a centralized manner, and the scope of services, quotations, and cases can be directly compared, reducing the time required to compare prices from three different vendors; Thirdly, resource docking: service providers involved in registration, legal, financial, taxation, human resources, payment and other aspects can establish contact in one go at the same venue; Fourth, trend judgment: The latest destination information brought by institutions helps enterprises to understand market changes in advance; The fifth is peer exchange: on-site enterprises have different industries and stages, and each other's experiences and lessons are themselves references.
Of course, there is no standard answer for going global, and the paths of enterprises of different industries and scales vary greatly. Bringing a list of questions to participate in the exhibition, asking the institutions one by one about the issues of concern, and then making judgments based on one's own situation, is a practical approach. The exposition provides a platform for information and connectivity, and the final decision still needs to return to the resources and goals of the enterprise itself. For teams with clear budget, pace, and phased goals, on-site consultation is often more efficient.
Going global is a long-term project, and policies, markets, and our own capabilities are constantly changing. The more comprehensive the information, the more confident the decision-making; The more advanced the preparation, the smoother the landing. In November 2026, the Shanghai World Trade Exhibition Center will provide a centralized window for obtaining information, comparing services, and connecting resources. No matter which stage the enterprise is in when it goes global, it can go to the site to see and clarify the questions before deciding on the next step.
