On the morning of June 20, 2025, the Pudong New Area Conference on Advancing Support for Enterprises' Going Global was held at the Pudong Urban Planning and Public Art Center. The conference announced a comprehensive package of policies to support the development of headquarters of overseas-investing enterprises and leading companies expanding abroad, and to establish an integrated service platform for overseas investment with nationwide coverage and global connectivity. It aims to attract high-quality domestic enterprises to invest in Pudong and expand globally, positioning Pudong as a strategic gateway for Chinese enterprises' going global. Distinguished guests in attendance included Li Zheng, Member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee and Secretary of the CPC Pudong New Area Committee, and Wu Jincheng, Deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government, Deputy Secretary of the CPC Pudong New Area Committee and District Mayor of Pudong New Area.

At the conference, the Shanghai Pudong Service Center for Overseas Investment (the Center) entered into cooperation agreements with representatives of the first six enterprises planning to establish an overseas presence and base their operations in Pudong. In addition, representatives from various areas of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone and relevant towns signed agreements with 20 key enterprises undertaking imminent overseas investment projects. Leveraging Pudong's high-level international platforms, resources and professional service networks, these enterprises will establish Pudong as the primary launch base and global command center for their international expansion strategies, injecting new momentum into Pudong's high-quality transformation and development. As a strategic partner of the Center, Dacheng Shanghai was invited to attend the conference, which was represented by Chen Jun, Managing Partner of Dacheng Shanghai, and Li Chen, a member of the Firm's Management Committee.

"Going global" has become an essential path for Chinese enterprises on their journey toward becoming global players. With the continuous evolution of the global business landscape, Chinese companies have progressed from "borrowing ships to go abroad" to "building their own ships and sailing far," marking a new stage in their international expansion. To better leverage the dual circulation strategy linking domestic and international markets, facilitate enterprises' global development, and actively support the high-level reform and opening-up of Pudong, the Center was officially inaugurated in April 2025, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of Pudong's development and opening-up. As the first private, non-profit institution in China specialized in supporting enterprises' overseas expansion, the Center collaborates with 11 council members and over 60 strategic partners, operating more than 270 overseas service stations across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. The Center provides enterprises with comprehensive, end-to-end support, including initial market research, business visits, project matchmaking, investment consulting, as well as ongoing operational support and risk monitoring. As a key initiative in Pudong's deepening reform and opening-up, the Center aims to attract high-quality domestic enterprises to establish overseas operations or headquarters in Pudong, offering a one-stop, full-service solution for going global. Through this platform, enterprises can expand into international markets more efficiently and enhance their global competitiveness.

As a key strategic partner of the Center, Dacheng Shanghai leverages Dacheng' extensive global network to efficiently address and resolve enterprises' cross-border legal service needs. In recent years, leveraging its expertise in international legal services, Dacheng Shanghai has deepened its research on country-specific legal frameworks, enabling precise understanding of local laws, commercial practices, and policy developments across different regions. Through this strategic collaboration with the Center, Dacheng Shanghai aims to continuously enhance its comprehensive legal support for enterprises expanding abroad, contributing to the Center's efforts to establish a fully integrated going-global service ecosystem and assisting enterprises in achieving safe and efficient global expansion within an increasingly complex international business environment.

Amid Pudong's drive to become a leading area for socialist modernization, Dacheng Shanghai will continue to integrate diversified practical innovations into the global legal collaboration ecosystem, supporting more Chinese enterprises on their international expansion journey and contributing to their success in the global market.
