Encor Group has officially entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with the Shanghai Pudong Service Center for Overseas Investment. Through this partnership, both parties will combine strengths in policy resources, professional services, and global networks to deliver comprehensive, one-stop international development solutions for Chinese enterprises—opening new avenues for growth and enhancing their global competitiveness.
Building a New Ecosystem for Global Expansion
As China’s first non-profit integrated “Going Global” service platform, the Shanghai Pudong Service Center for Overseas Investment operates under a dual-empowerment positioning. By integrating government, professional, and financial resources, the Center has developed a complete service framework to support outbound enterprises.
To date, it has established more than 270 overseas service stations across key regions in Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. Its service system covers the full lifecycle of global expansion—from early-stage market research and business visits to project coordination, investment consulting, operational support, and risk mitigation—effectively reducing the risks and costs of internationalization.
Complementary Strengths: Advancing Global Strategy with Professional Support
As a leading cross-border professional services firm, Encor Group has built a strategic service network across major economic hubs. With offices in Shanghai, Dubai, Riyadh, and Singapore, Encor delivers structured compliance, corporate setup, and operational support across 70+ jurisdictions worldwide.
Through this cooperation, Encor’s international service capabilities will be complemented by the Pudong Service Center’s policy platform and resource channels. Together, the two parties will provide enterprises with more systematic, compliant, and execution-ready solutions to support high-quality global deployment.
Leadership Insight: Co-Creating a New Blueprint for International Growth
Commenting on the partnership, Sherry Sun, Managing Director of Encor Group Greater China, said:
“The Shanghai Pudong Service Center for Overseas Investment is a benchmark platform in international services. Its policy expertise and global service infrastructure strongly align with Encor’s footprint. We are pleased to establish this strategic partnership.”
She added:
“We are seeing a shift from simply ‘going global’ to ‘integrating globally.’ Enterprises are now looking to embed themselves deeply into overseas markets. Through this collaboration, we will connect policy, professional services, and execution to provide end-to-end support—from strategy to implementation—helping enterprises globalize with greater efficiency and confidence.”
A Timely Response to a New Phase of Globalization
