At the event, Pudong released its "1+5+N" Overseas Investment Service System and a series of new outcomes to facilitate overseas expansion. It also unveiled four overseas liaison stations of the Pudong Enterprise Going Global Comprehensive Service Center, located in Singapore, the United Kingdom, Germany and Greece.

The "1" refers to the Pudong Enterprise Going Global Comprehensive Service Center. Pudong established the country's first non-governmental organization dedicated to outbound investment services in March 2025, creating a one-stop model that combines government support with professional operations.

The "5" represents five regional service stations, each with a distinct focus: the World Expo area for central state-owned enterprises, Zhangjiang for biomedicine and artificial intelligence, Lujiazui for professional services, Jinqiao for advanced manufacturing and the bonded area for logistics and supply chains.

The "N" covers a range of specialized industrial service platforms. Pudong has connected resources such as the comprehensive service center of Zhangjiang Pharma Valley and China's first overseas-oriented micro-drama export base.

The White Paper of Enterprises Going Global was unveiled at the event. It reviews Pudong's progress in opening up and supporting outbound investment, analyzes key challenges faced by companies across sectors, and provides strategic guidance for enterprises' international expansion.
