Against the backdrop of an accelerating restructuring of the global investment landscape, the 2026 Shanghai International Investment Consulting Exhibition (IIC Expo) will grandly open at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center from March 29th to 31st, 2026. As China’s first professional exhibition focusing on the entire investment chain for overseas companies in China, IIC Expo brings together top global consulting firms, law firms, accounting firms, and industry think tanks, providing overseas investors with one-stop solutions from market access, policy interpretation, and resource matching, helping them effectively establish themselves in the Chinese market.
Three Core Services Address Investment Pain Points
Policy and Compliance Think Tank
PwC, Deloitte, and other “Big Four” international firms, in collaboration with the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, conducted in-depth analysis of the negative list for foreign investment access, cross-border data flow rules, and ESG investment standards, providing customized compliance solutions. For example, a European company, through the exhibition’s services, completed approval for a new energy project within six months, 40% faster than the conventional process.
Precise Matching of Industry Resources
McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, and other institutions released the “China Consumption Upgrade Trend Report” and the “Manufacturing Transformation and Upgrading White Paper,” leveraging AI algorithms to match overseas companies with potential partners. At the 2025 exhibition, a Southeast Asian manufacturing group secured partnerships with three supply chain companies in the Yangtze River Delta through a resource matching session, with annual procurement exceeding 200 million yuan.
Cross-border Capital Operation Support
Investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley showcased cases involving RMB fund establishment, green bond issuance, and mergers and acquisitions. They partnered with Bank of China International to launch a “Special Financing Program for Foreign Investment in China,” supporting up to US$300 million per project. A North American asset management company leveraged the exhibition platform to successfully issue the first Chinese green bond, raising 5 billion yuan.
The Value of Exhibiting: Accelerating Implementation and Growth
Risk Prediction: Climate risk models and supply chain resilience assessment tools help companies mitigate potential risks.
Efficiency Improvement: The intelligent matching system shortens decision-making cycles, with past exhibitors launching projects within an average of three months.
Brand Empowerment: Roadshow Center and media interviews enhance the visibility of overseas companies in the Chinese market.
