How to systematically layout for enterprises going global? The 2026 Shanghai Enterprise Going Global and Financial Services Expo provides a full cycle answer

1、 Going global is becoming a strategic choice for more enterprises

In recent years, more and more Chinese companies have turned their attention to overseas markets. From the production capacity layout of the manufacturing industry to the market expansion of consumer and technology enterprises, "going global" is gradually entering the core issue of strategic planning for more enterprises, starting from the exploration of individual enterprises. The overseas market means greater incremental space, as well as market rules, legal environment, and business pace that are completely different from those in China. The coexistence of opportunities and variables is the intuitive feeling that enterprises bring to people when going global, and it also determines that going global is never a matter that can be decided on a whim.

It is precisely this complexity that makes the word 'professional' particularly important. Enterprises crossing the river by themselves often have to pay higher time costs and are more likely to take detours in compliance details. Therefore, how to efficiently and systematically incorporate dispersed professional resources into the vision has become an important task for enterprises before going global. The Expo is just such an entrance: gathering information from different links and institutions into one scene, so that enterprises no longer look for needles in a haystack.

From a broader perspective, going global is not only a choice for individual enterprises, but also reflects to some extent the new position of Chinese industries in the global division of labor. More and more industries are joining the ranks of going global, driving a sustained demand for professional services such as compliance, finance, law, and human resources, and making 'going global services' a growing field of expertise. For companies planning to go global, understanding this trend in advance can help them plan their own pace more calmly; For service agencies, grasping this trend and serving overseas enterprises well is not only a business opportunity, but also has certain forward-looking value.

2、 Real needs of enterprises going global from three aspects

The actual path of enterprises going global can be roughly divided into three stages. Before going global, enterprises need to assess their target markets, evaluate investment directions, handle investment approval and capital outflow procedures, including ODI filing, and think through basic issues such as transaction structure, investment methods, and equity arrangements in advance; In the landing stage, a series of tasks such as overseas company registration, bank account opening, tax registration, office space and personnel arrangement need to be completed, each of which is related to whether the enterprise can start construction smoothly; After being put into operation, it will continue to face normalized issues such as cross-border settlement, exchange rate fluctuations, local compliance declaration, and legal risk control.

In practical operation, some companies are also prone to falling into the trap of oversimplifying the pre registration procedures such as ODI filing, and only temporarily applying for them when the funds leave the country, which prolongs the overall pace; Some have insufficient understanding of destination compliance requirements and only realize that the cost is higher than expected after implementation. These problems often stem from incomplete information or lack of professional prerequisites. Clear integration of various services in advance can significantly reduce such risks. The three links are interrelated, and any disconnection in any link may compromise the initial investment and judgment.

3、 One centralized docking is better than multiple scattered consultations

In reality, companies often need to conduct a complete overseas information research by repeatedly running and comparing between different institutions. A single institution is usually only good at one aspect, and enterprises need to assemble fragmented information themselves, which is time-consuming and easy to miss. The enterprise overseas section of this expo is designed to address this pain point: enterprises can gather information on the service content of different institutions in ODI filing, overseas registration, tax and legal affairs, cross-border payments, etc. at the same time and place, horizontally compare and systematically plan, and turn the scattered information collection into an efficient centralized docking.

There are also communication and consultation scenarios set up on site, where companies can have in-depth communication with consultants based on their specific situations, allowing general information to be incorporated into their own business scenarios and obtaining more practical advice. For enterprises in the pre departure research stage, this is a low-cost and efficient information gathering opportunity. Within three days, an overall understanding of the offshore service ecology can be established to lay a more solid information foundation for subsequent decisions.

It should be noted that the Expo is not only aimed at companies that have already started going global, but also at teams that are in the waiting and preparation stage. Having a clear understanding of service resources earlier and establishing correct process expectations can often help businesses avoid many detours.

4、 What is the value of exhibiting for overseas service agencies

For overseas service agencies, participating in this expo also has practical value. Firstly, the expo gathers a large number of enterprises and professional visitors with genuine intentions to go global. Participating institutions can reach potential customers within three days and visually demonstrate their service capabilities in ODI filing, overseas registration, tax law, cross-border payments, and other areas; Secondly, through on-site exchanges with cross disciplinary institutions such as finance, immigration, study abroad, and real estate, service agencies have the opportunity to expand their cooperation network and explore combination services such as "overseas services+cross-border finance" and "identity planning+enterprise landing", accumulating resources for future business growth.

In addition, the expo also covers areas such as immigration, real estate, and studying abroad, providing horizontal information for executives and families of overseas enterprises, helping business owners to consider personal and family arrangements while promoting their business, and improving overall efficiency. A single exhibition is not only a concentrated display for the target customer group, but also a window to connect the industry ecosystem and discover cooperation opportunities. Its value is often not limited to the exhibition itself, but lies in the long-term connections established from it.

5、 Participation methods and more information

This expo will be held at the Shanghai World Trade Exhibition Center from November 20th to 22nd, 2026, with a three-day exhibition period. It is expected to receive about 8000 visitors in three days. The exhibition invitation and audience consultation hotline for the Expo is 13681692751 (same as WeChat), and the official website is www.qs-expo.com. Whether it is a company with overseas plans or an overseas service agency that hopes to expand its corporate customers, they can learn about exhibition and registration details through the above channels and arrange their itinerary in advance.

During the exhibition, there are also information exchange and docking scenes, where both exhibitors and visitors can communicate fully on site, reducing intermediate links. The organizing committee also suggests making an appointment in advance through the hotline or official website to arrange on-site communication more fully.

6、 Conclusion: Leave professional matters to professionals

Going out to sea is a long run, and direction judgment and execution details are equally important. Only by entrusting the scattered links to professional institutions to connect can enterprises focus more on the business itself that truly creates value. In Shanghai in November, we look forward to more companies finding their own "going global" reference answers at this expo.
