The Lin-gang Special Area Networking and Matchmaking Event for Enterprises' High-Level Going Global was launched on March 25 at Shanghai Eastern Hub International Business Cooperation Zone with the aim to inject strong momentum into the global expansion of Chinese enterprises.

Held under the theme "Special Area 'Going Global', Sharing a Win-Win World", the matchmaking event brought together more than 300 representatives from enterprises and institutions. The event presented one-stop solutions covering policy support, service facilitation and resource matching for enterprises going global.

An inauguration ceremony was held for the Lin-gang Special Area foreign-related service center, with institutions including Bank of China and TC Group among the first tenants.

Located in the Dishui Lake Financial Bay, the center serves as an upgraded and physical hub of the "Going Global" Comprehensive Service Platform. It brings together 38 key service providers and enterprises, forming a 10-minute service ecosystem.

Lin-gang established the "Going Global" Comprehensive Service Platform in June 2024. To date, the platform has handled more than 3,000 service requests, set up 49 domestic branches and connected with over 80 overseas institutions.
