2027 Shanghai Enterprise Going Global and Financial Services Expo will connect to the full chain of overseas services in March

In the past year, the underlying rules for companies to go global have undergone substantial changes. The "Regulations of the State Council on Foreign Investment" (State Council Decree No. 837), which will come into effect on July 1, 2026, includes the overseas investment of Chinese enterprises in the "full life cycle" regulatory track. For business decision-makers, this means that the stage of "getting approval and going global" has passed, with filing, compliance, funding, implementation, and operation being linked into a complete chain. Insufficient preparation in any link may delay or even shelve the entire overseas plan.

From the perspective of institutional framework, the new regulations continue the classified management of "approval of sensitive investments and filing of non sensitive investments", while shifting the regulatory focus from approval of individual projects to services, management, and overseas rights protection covering the entire investment process. For enterprises that operate in compliance and have genuine investment intentions, this is an institutionalized channel review; For enterprises with non-standard processes and insufficient early preparation, it means higher decision-making and compliance costs. Both types of enterprises now urgently need to entrust the task of "going global" to professional institutions for overall coordination and promotion.

The needs of enterprises in the process of going global can be classified into three categories. One is filing and compliance declaration, including overseas investment filing by the National Development and Reform Commission and the competent commerce department, processing of overseas investment certificates, and security review and prediction of investments in sensitive industries and regions. The second is the outflow of funds and cross-border settlement, involving foreign exchange registration, offshore accounts, cross-border fund arrangements, and exchange rate risk management. The third is the overseas landing and continuous operation, including the establishment of overseas companies, tax compliance, labor employment, local legal advisors, and other comprehensive affairs. Combined with the increasingly important demand for overseas rights protection in the past two years, what enterprises need is not a single service, but a complete service package that can cover "pre investment, investment, and post investment".

The overseas chain is long, with multiple links and asymmetric information. Decision makers often need to compare multiple institutions horizontally in a short period of time to verify service capabilities, charging standards, and real cases. The offline exhibition provides the efficiency of "one-time centralized comparison": within three days, it aggregates filing agencies, foreign-related law firms, cross-border banks, financial and tax consulting companies, and overseas park operators on the same site, which is the core value of the exhibition.

In this context, the 2027 Shanghai Overseas Immigrant Study and Property Expo, as well as the Enterprise Overseas Development and Financial Services Expo, will be held from March 26 to 28, 2027 at the Shanghai World Trade Exhibition Center. The expo will last for three days and is expected to attract approximately 8000 visitors. The exhibition will set up a dedicated hall for enterprises to go abroad, with exhibitors covering foreign investment service agencies, foreign-related law firms, cross-border banks, financial and tax consulting companies, and overseas park operators. It will also provide policy interpretation and one-on-one consultation sessions to help attending enterprises and institutions complete high-quality horizontal comparisons and on-site connections within a limited time.

For overseas service agencies and related enterprises, the value of exhibiting lies in four aspects. Firstly, facing decision-makers who have a genuine intention to go abroad, with clear on-site needs and concentrated intentions, and negotiation efficiency higher than general channels; Secondly, leveraging the on-site trust and reputation of professional audiences to establish the professional image of the institution; Thirdly, collaborate with chain institutions such as banks, law firms, and industrial parks to obtain opportunities for channel cooperation and business referrals; Fourthly, through forum speeches, material displays, and on-site negotiations, we can accumulate reusable customer leads and establish a resource pool for continuous follow-up after the exhibition.

For enterprises planning to go global, attending the conference can provide centralized access to policy guidelines, filing processes, and fee structures, and horizontally compare service providers to avoid hasty decisions under information asymmetry; You can also consult on-site on specific issues such as capital outflow, taxation, and employment, and clarify uncertain matters in one go during the exhibition period.

During the exhibition, we will organize themed forums and targeted docking activities for enterprises going global. Enterprises and institutions interested in participating in exhibitions or conferences can consult through the exhibition hotline 13681692751 (same as WeChat) or visit the official website www.qs-expo.com for more details.

The common challenge faced by the 2027 generation of overseas enterprises is to shift from "single point delegation" to "full chain coordination". The Shanghai World Trade Exhibition Center in March provided a centralized comparison and on-site docking window. For companies preparing to go abroad and professional institutions wishing to serve overseas, these three days are worth including in the annual schedule.
