Shanghai-Hong Kong Entrepreneurs Roundtable and Overseas Alliance’s Visit to Putuo Event Held

China News Service, Shanghai, November 9th (Gao Zhimiao) The "Gathering in Shanghai and Seeking Common Development" Shanghai-Hong Kong Entrepreneurs Roundtable and the Shanghai Overseas Friendship Association Entering Putuo Event were held on the 9th at the "Sea Gathering of Talents" regular roadshow hall in Putuo District. The theme of the event is "Leveraging the advantages of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwanese overseas Chinese, and financial professional service companies going overseas" to provide professional support for companies along the Shanghai-Nanjing Industrial Innovation Belt to move into the global market.

Hu Guangjie, Secretary of the Shanghai Putuo District Party Committee, said in his speech that companies going overseas has become an important strategic choice for my country to deeply participate in the reconstruction of the global industrial chain and smooth the domestic and international "dual circulation". As the "hub portal" in the central urban area of ​​Shanghai and along the Shanghai-Nanjing Industrial Innovation Belt, Putuo has always adhered to its positioning as a "gravitational field, source of intelligence, incubator and service center" and regarded corporate overseas services as an important starting point for serving the industrial innovation belt along the Shanghai-Nanjing belt.

2026 is the first year of the "15th Five-Year Plan". Putuo District will use the "Banma Suhe Sharing Club" brand project as a starting point to launch 25 activities in six categories, and simultaneously launch the Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macao Innovation and Entrepreneurship Young Talents Hall, and promote the resonance between Hong Kong and Macao work and regional development. From the establishment of the first district-level Hong Kong Association in Shanghai in 2016, to the establishment of new Hong Kong people branches and corporate overseas service groups, in the past ten years, the Putuo Hong Kong Association has organized nearly 150 batches of Hong Kong youths, professionals, entrepreneurs and other people from all walks of life to visit Putuo, and introduced more than 30 companies to settle in Putuo in the past three years.

According to reports, in Putuo District’s overseas direct investment (ODI) registration in 2025, projects invested in Hong Kong accounted for 36.4%, ranking first. Hong Kong has become the first choice springboard for Putuo companies to go overseas. As the "Western Lobby" of Shanghai and the "bridgehead" along the Shanghai-Nanjing Industrial Innovation Belt, Putuo is not only the first stop for enterprises along the Shanghai-Nanjing area to enter Shanghai, but also the "starting station" for enterprises from Shanghai to the world. This event promoted face-to-face communication between professional forces from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and enterprises along the Shanghai-Nanjing border, and provided a specific path for enterprises to "enter Shanghai and go overseas."

At the event, the Putuo United Front's "Enterprise Overseas Service Community along the Shanghai-Nanjing Industrial Innovation Belt" was established. The first batch of co-construction units include the Hong Kong Professional Listing Overseas Service Alliance, the Shanghai-Hong Kong Professionals Association, the Shanghai-Hong Kong Cooperation Digital Ecological Exchange Association and other institutions and associations. The community has organized the previously relatively scattered professional service resources in various fields of the United Front, and formed a synergy around the listing guidance, compliance risk control, legal taxation, brand promotion and other links needed by enterprises to go overseas, so that professional institutions from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have fixed channels to serve enterprises in Shanghai and Nanjing, and also provide enterprises with a stable entrance to find professional services.

At the same time, the Putuo Hong Kong Association Enterprise Overseas Service Group and representatives from parks in Nantong, Suzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing, Changzhou, Taizhou and other places jointly launched "services into the parks". With the united front as a link, the event further leverages Hong Kong's "super contacts" and "super value-added people" advantages, transforms Putuo's "bridgehead" and "starting station" location advantages into pragmatic measures to serve Shanghai-Nanjing enterprises going overseas, and promotes professional services from the venue to the park and closer to the enterprises.

This event was hosted by the Shanghai Overseas Friendship Association and co-organized by the Shanghai Overseas Friendship Association Professional Committee, the Financial and Trade Committee and the Shanghai Putuo Overseas Friendship Association. It is the 52nd matrix project of the Shanghai United Front's annual work to serve youth innovation and entrepreneurship.
