When the United Nations Sustainable Development Organization incorporated “climate change resilience” into its livability assessment system, and when digital transformation and community engagement became new benchmarks for measuring urban vitality, the 2025 global livability rankings saw a historic turning point—Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, ended Vienna’s three-year reign with a comprehensive score of 98, becoming the first Nordic city to top the list due to its “carbon neutrality practices” and “technological innovation ecosystem.” This transformation not only redefined the definition of a livable city but also resonated deeply with the concurrently held Global Migration Expo: as livability becomes a core driver of global talent mobility, how to build bridges to ideal lives for immigrants through policy innovation, resource integration, and service upgrades became the most prominent topic at this year’s expo.   Copenhagen: A Global Model for Carbon Neutrality Experiments Copenhagen’s rise to the top was no accident. This city of just 1.4 million people has built the world’s most comprehensive green transportation network in a decade: 54% of residents commute by bicycle, the density of bike lanes reaches 3.2 kilometers per 1,000 people, public transportation is entirely powered by hydrogen and electricity, and air quality has ranked among the top three globally for five consecutive years. Even more astonishing is its “cradle-to-grave” welfare system—universal free healthcare covers 98% of diseases, childcare subsidies cover 60% of family childcare costs, and the “15-minute living circle” plan ensures that every community has a kindergarten, clinic, and community center within walking distance. “Copenhagen’s charm lies in its demonstration that sustainable development and a high quality of life can coexist perfectly,” a UN-Habitat expert pointed out at the expo forum. The city boasts the world’s densest cluster of green technology companies, from Novo Nordisk’s biopharmaceuticals to the Danish National Energy Laboratory’s wind power technology,…

In the wave of globalization, immigration has become an important choice for many people planning a new chapter in their lives. However, the interview stage of the immigration application process often puts applicants under immense pressure—language barriers, cultural differences, policy changes… any detail can affect the final outcome. How to overcome these bottlenecks? The answer may lie in the annual Immigration Expo. As an industry event that brings together global immigration programs, policy interpretations, and professional services, the Immigration Expo is not only a “one-stop platform” for obtaining information but also a “secret weapon” for enhancing interview competitiveness. Precise Matching: From “Casting a Wide Net” to “Customized” Screening Logic The core of immigration applications lies in “suitability.” Immigration policies vary significantly between countries: some focus on skilled workers, some favor investment capabilities, and some prioritize family reunification. Traditional applicants often fall into the trap of “casting a wide net” due to information asymmetry, wasting energy and reducing their success rate. The Immigration Expo, by integrating high-quality global programs, provides applicants with a “menu-style” selection. For example, a “European Skilled Migrant Visa Zone” at an expo showcased in-demand occupation lists from multiple countries for fields such as IT, healthcare, and engineering. Applicants could quickly identify their target countries based on their professional background. Professional consultants were also on-site to assess the match between applicants’ education, work experience, and target programs, preventing rejection due to “unmet requirements.” This precise screening logic shifted applicants from “playing the lottery” to “targeted efforts,” laying the foundation for a successful interview. Policy Foresight: Understanding Immigration Officers’ “Key Assessment Points” Immigration policies are not static; economic conditions, social needs, and even international relations can trigger policy adjustments. For example, one country temporarily relaxed immigration requirements for nurses due to increased pressure on its healthcare system; another tightened…

In the wave of globalization, immigration has become a crucial choice for many to plan a new chapter in their lives. However, the welfare systems and tax policies of different countries vary significantly, directly impacting the quality of life and wealth accumulation after immigration. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the welfare and tax policies of popular immigration destinations such as the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Portugal, offering decision-making references for applicants. The United States: High Welfare and High Taxes Coexist As the world’s largest economy, the United States’ welfare system is centered on “equal opportunity.” Children of green card holders can attend public primary and secondary schools for free, and university tuition is only one-third to one-half of that for international students; low-income families can apply for Medicaid, covering costs such as prenatal checkups and vaccinations; those who have paid taxes for 10 years can receive a monthly pension of $1,000-$3,000 after retirement. However, the US tax policy is equally stringent: the federal personal income tax rate can reach as high as 37%, and the global tax system requires immigrants to declare overseas assets, with compliance costs exceeding $10,000 annually. Despite this, its top-tier educational resources and multicultural environment continue to attract a large number of high-net-worth individuals. Canada: Universal Welfare and Complex Tax System Canada is known for its “cradle-to-grave” welfare system. Universal free healthcare covers basic medical services, but medication costs are the responsibility of the individual. The unemployed can receive a benefit of 55% of their previous salary (for up to 45 weeks) and receive free vocational training. The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) provides a maximum monthly subsidy of CAD 6,833 per child. Regarding taxes, Canada uses a global tax system; with federal and provincial taxes combined, high-income earners can face…

In today’s deeply integrated globalized economy, “doing business overseas” is no longer the sole domain of large corporations. An increasing number of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs are using entrepreneurial immigration to open up new markets, acquire new resources, and even achieve a double leap in their lives and careers. However, overseas entrepreneurship is not simply a matter of “copying the domestic model.” From market research to legal compliance, from cultural adaptation to resource integration, every step presents its own challenges. How to break through these barriers? This article will provide entrepreneurs with a practical guide to overseas expansion from three dimensions: strategic planning, resource integration, and risk management. Precise Positioning: From “Following the Trend” to “Demand-Driven” Market Selection The allure of overseas markets lies in their diversity, but blindly entering unfamiliar territory often leads to “culture shock.” Successful overseas entrepreneurial immigration requires answering two core questions: What are the “real needs” of the target market? Can your product or service solve local pain points? For example, a domestic home furnishing brand discovered through research that the Southeast Asian market, due to its humid climate, has a strong demand for mold- and moisture-proof furniture, while local products are mostly low-end, lacking high-quality options. The brand quickly adjusted its product line, launched an anti-mildew coating technology targeting the Southeast Asian market, and established a warehousing and logistics system in conjunction with local distributors, capturing 12% of the market share within three years. The lesson from this case is that overseas entrepreneurship needs to be driven by demand rather than simply replicating experience, uncovering hidden opportunities through localized research. Furthermore, policy incentives are also an important factor in market selection. Many countries have introduced dedicated immigration pathways for entrepreneurs to attract foreign investment, such as tax breaks, startup subsidies, and even permanent residency…

Most Asia-Pacific countries possess long coastlines, dense waterways, and abundant sunshine. These natural conditions act as natural “energy treasure troves,” providing unique advantages for developing renewable energy. For companies looking to invest in overseas new energy industries, these regions represent untapped “green energy fertile ground,” aligning with global environmental trends and offering long-term, stable economic returns, making investment highly feasible. First, consider the advantages of long coastlines. Coastal areas experience strong and stable winds, making them particularly suitable for building wind power plants. Sea breezes propel the massive windmill blades, converting wind energy into electricity, which is then transmitted to homes. Furthermore, offshore wind power does not occupy arable land, minimizing its impact on local residents’ lives and being more “discreet” than onshore wind power. Many Asia-Pacific countries have coastlines stretching for hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, allowing for the construction of sizable wind farms in any windy location. This “living off the sea” energy development method is both environmentally friendly and efficient, far cleaner than coal or oil-fired power generation. Second, consider the convenience of dense waterways. In areas crisscrossed by rivers, lakes, and canals, abundant water resources make them particularly suitable for small hydropower development. Water flows from high to low, driving turbines to generate electricity continuously. This method is technologically mature, low-cost, and the water is “dynamic”—generating more power during the rainy season and less during the dry season, offering great flexibility. Many countries in the Asia-Pacific region are located in the tropics and subtropics, with long rainy seasons and abundant rainfall. The water in their rivers is highly mobile, and building a small hydropower station can convert water energy into a stable source of electricity, meeting the needs of surrounding residents and industries. This “water-dependent” energy development solves the problem of power shortages and reduces…

In today’s globalized world, people have increasingly diverse choices regarding life, work, and development. Immigration has become an important pathway for many to pursue a better quality of life, expand their business, or experience diverse cultures. However, traditional immigration processes are often cumbersome, complex, and time-consuming, deterring many aspiring immigrants. In fact, with the right approach, fast immigration is not out of reach. Below, we reveal effective strategies to facilitate fast immigration. Accurately Matching Immigration Programs:This is a key prerequisite for fast immigration. There are many types of immigration programs, each with its unique application requirements, procedures, and timelines. Some programs focus on the applicant’s professional skills, such as those in certain in-demand occupations, where professional qualifications and work experience can lead to priority processing. Other programs emphasize investment capacity, providing a fast track for those with substantial financial resources and a willingness to invest locally. Therefore, applicants need to thoroughly understand their own strengths and characteristics, combine this with the specific requirements of each immigration program, and accurately choose the most suitable program to avoid wasting time and energy by applying blindly. Adequate Preparation in Advance:This can significantly accelerate the immigration process. Immigration applications involve numerous documents, ranging from personal identification and educational certificates to proof of work experience and financial statements. Each document requires careful preparation to ensure its authenticity, completeness, and compliance with requirements. Planning and organizing these documents in advance not only avoids repeated supplementation and revisions due to missing or incorrect materials during the application process but also allows immigration officers to easily understand the applicant’s information, improving review efficiency. Furthermore, understanding the language requirements of immigration programs beforehand and preparing for targeted language learning and testing, such as obtaining a qualifying language proficiency certificate, can significantly enhance the chances of expedited immigration. Utilizing the…

Driven by globalization, immigration has become a significant choice for many seeking a better life, expanding their careers, or experiencing diverse cultures. However, immigration applications are not always smooth sailing. Many applicants, after submitting their applications with high hopes, receive rejection notices, which is undoubtedly a huge blow. Understanding the common reasons for immigration rejections and preparing in advance is crucial to improving the success rate. Incomplete or Inaccurate Documents: Details Determine Success or Failure Immigration applications require numerous and stringent documents; any minor oversight can lead to rejection. Some applicants may carelessly omit crucial documents such as birth certificates, police clearance certificates, and academic certificates. These documents are essential for assessing an applicant’s background, education, and social credibility; the absence of any one of them may raise doubts about the applicant’s authenticity. Furthermore, inaccurate information in the application materials is also a common problem. For example, when listing work experience, information such as dates, positions, and responsibilities may not match the actual situation, or the provided employment verification letters may be formatted incorrectly or lack detail. Immigration officers meticulously review every piece of information when reviewing application materials. Any inconsistencies or discrepancies may lead them to believe the applicant has made false statements, resulting in application rejection. Insufficient Financial Proof: Economic Strength is a Key Consideration Immigration applications typically have specific requirements regarding the applicant’s financial situation to ensure they have sufficient financial resources to live and thrive in their new environment. If the applicant’s financial proof fails to meet the program’s requirements—for example, insufficient savings, unclear or unreasonable sources of funds—the application is likely to be rejected. Some applicants may attempt to meet the requirements by temporarily raising funds, but this often lacks a reasonable explanation for the source of funds. Immigration officers focus on the accumulation process…

In today’s globalized world, immigration is no longer an exclusive choice for a select few; more and more families are considering it a crucial part of their children’s education planning. Recently, at an expo focusing on immigration and education, an education-themed forum attracted widespread attention. Numerous education experts, immigration consultants, and successful families gathered to discuss the close connection between immigration and education, providing valuable insights for families seeking better educational opportunities for their children. At the forum’s outset, a senior education expert pointed out that the uneven distribution of quality educational resources is a global problem. Many families are turning their attention overseas to provide their children with a better and more diverse education. In overseas education systems, children not only have access to cutting-edge knowledge but also cultivate an international perspective and cross-cultural communication skills through the interaction of diverse cultures. For example, some internationally renowned universities emphasize practical and innovative curricula, encouraging students to think independently and explore boldly. Students cultivated by this educational model often possess stronger competitiveness and adaptability. However, immigration is not simply a geographical relocation; it involves many considerations, with education planning being a core element. At the forum, an immigration consultant shared several success stories. Some families, through well-planned immigration, have enabled their children to adapt to overseas educational environments in advance, achieving excellent academic results and successfully gaining admission to top universities worldwide. These cases demonstrate that immigration opens a door to a broader educational world for children, but this requires a scientific and reasonable plan. In the process of combining immigration and education, choosing the right educational path for their children has become a focus for many families. Experts at the forum suggested that parents should fully understand the education system, school characteristics, and admission requirements of the target region,…

In the wave of globalization, more and more families are deeply integrating their children’s education planning with their immigration needs, aiming to achieve both status upgrades and asset allocation through the “study abroad + immigration” path. However, facing a multitude of complex immigration policies and study abroad programs, accurately matching high-quality educational resources and efficiently connecting with immigration channels has become a core demand for many families. From March 29th to 31st, 2026, the 22nd Shanghai Overseas Property, Immigration & Study Abroad Exhibition (OPI), organized by Shanghai Fuma Exhibition Services Co., Ltd., will be grandly opened at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. This longest-running comprehensive international education event in the Asia-Pacific region will bring together top universities and immigration agencies from around the world, providing exhibitors with a one-stop solution for “direct recruitment for study abroad + immigration planning.” Direct Recruitment by University Representatives: Breaking Information Barriers and Securing Places at Top Universities In traditional study abroad applications, students often need to indirectly connect with universities through intermediary agencies. The lag and errors in information transmission can easily lead to biased school selection. At this year’s OPI exhibition, representatives from top universities worldwide will be present, encompassing comprehensive research universities, applied colleges, and specialized institutions, covering popular fields such as business, engineering, education, and healthcare. For example, a representative from an institution renowned for its actuarial science programs and holding multiple five-star ratings in the QS World University Rankings will provide a detailed explanation of the career prospects and application requirements for actuarial science graduates; a medical school that has consistently received five-star ratings will showcase its clinical internship resources and research collaboration opportunities. Attendees will not only have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with admissions officers but also participate in interactive sessions such as mock interviews…

In today’s increasingly diversified global immigration trends, more and more people are seeking immigration pathways that offer better value for money and more flexible entry requirements. Whether for children’s education, asset allocation, or the pursuit of a better living environment, low-cost immigration is no longer a niche option but has become an important direction for many families planning their future. In 2026, an international expo focusing on overseas property investment, immigration, and education will open at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. This industry event, hosted by Shanghai Fuma Exhibition Service Co., Ltd., will provide families with overseas development needs with a concentrated showcase of “potential projects,” unveiling a new chapter in low-cost immigration. The Expo: A “One-Stop” Exploration Platform for Low-Cost Immigration As a professional exhibition planning agency with many years of experience in the industry, Shanghai Fuma Exhibition Service Co., Ltd. has successfully created several influential overseas property investment, immigration, and education expos, leveraging its rich experience in exhibition organization and extensive international resource network. The 2026 expo not only continues the characteristics of previous editions—”large scale, comprehensive projects, and excellent resources”—but also delves deeper into “low cost” and “high value for money.” The exhibition will gather hundreds of high-quality projects from over 20 countries and regions worldwide, covering multiple fields such as real estate investment, immigration policies, study abroad planning, and financial investment. From “retirement” to “educational immigration,” from “investment citizenship” to “skilled immigration,” it caters to the diverse needs of different families. Potential Projects: The “Core Code” to Low-Cost Immigration The key to low-cost immigration lies in finding projects with “low thresholds, short processing times, low risk, and stable returns.” Several potential projects at the expo have already attracted widespread attention. For example, a European country’s “real estate + permanent residency” combination model allows…
