Against the backdrop of growing demand for global asset allocation, the 17th (2019) Shanghai Overseas Real Estate, Immigration & Investment Expo became one of the most representative professional exhibitions in East China. Hosted by Shanghai Fumao Exhibition Service Co., Ltd., the event was positioned as an “overseas asset allocation + immigration investment matchmaking platform.” By integrating global real estate, immigration programs, and financial services, it created an efficient bridge between international projects and high-net-worth individuals in China. Based on both exhibition data and on-site feedback, this edition demonstrated strong industry maturity and notable real transaction potential.
Basic Information and Positioning
As an important edition within the Fumao Exhibition series, the 17th expo had a clear structure in both timing and functional positioning:
- Date: March 22–24, 2019
- Venue: Shanghai International Convention Center
- Organizer: Shanghai Fumao Exhibition Service Co., Ltd.
- Positioning: Overseas asset allocation and immigration investment matchmaking platform
Unlike general exhibitions, this expo emphasized “precise matching,” focusing on improving the efficiency between project providers and investors rather than simply expanding visitor traffic.
Scale Data and Industry Position

Industry Context and Extended Value in 2019
The timing of the 17th expo coincided with a key stage of rapid growth in China’s overseas investment demand:
- Rising demand for international education driving overseas property purchases
