(Yicai) March 27 -- Yicai Media Group has debuted a one-stop service platform offering brand communication, market insights, resource matchmaking, risk warning, and other services aimed at meeting companies' overseas expansion needs amid an increasingly complex global economic landscape.

The Overseas Investment Service Ecological Platform, launched at the first Overseas Investment Fair held in Shanghai today, will provide users with 24/7 real-time updates on emergencies across 180 countries and regions, quick interpretations of important information, in-depth thematic research on overseas expansion topics, and a visualized global industrial database.

It also includes a smart question and answer tool powered by Yicai's self-developed artificial intelligence model CelestWings. Called Wenhai, it can accurately answer a variety of questions related to overseas expansion, including market analysis, policy interpretation, and risk prevention, providing professionals with reliable, efficient, and specialized intelligent services.

Yicai has always regarded the primary responsibilities of financial media as its foundation and core driving force, leveraging original content, including first-hand reporting, exclusive investigations, in-depth analysis, thematic research, and cross-border dialogues to build strong credibility, Editor-in-Chief Yang Yudong said at a press conference.

After more than 20 years of development, Yicai has built a dedicated team for original content and a technical one focused on the financial sector. It covers multiple channels, including new media, newspapers, and television. 

In addition, Yicai has long-term personnel stationed in New York, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and other international economic centers that connect the global financial, technology, and venture capital sectors.

Yicai's user numbers on top overseas social media have exceeded 3.6 million, while it has fully integrated with international mainstream financial media information terminals, becoming one of the leading providers of Chinese and English financial news from China.

In the context of the constantly changing global landscape, Chinese companies face new challenges in their international development, including tariff barriers and various regulations related to data sovereignty, sustainable development, and investment reviews, according to Yicai Research Institute's Chinese Enterprises Globalization Report.

Against this backdrop, the traditional cost advantages of Chinese firms are no longer sufficient to cope with the global competition model, the report said. Companies that can successfully navigate challenges typically show deep localization, innovation-driven strategies, and strong adaptability and mastery of overseas regulations.

The service industries supporting companies' overseas expansion are also embracing significant growth opportunities. 

During the conference, Yicai allied with New York-based brand communication agency iMpact to cooperate on trust-building, capacity enhancement, and standard-setting in the process of Chinese firms going global. iMpact will focus on international communication for companies and the construction of trust systems, while Yicai will provide industry insights and global information support. 

Yicai and iMpact will jointly release a white paper to promote the standardization of capacity building and training systems for enterprises going global in the future, said Chris Pereira, founder and chief executive officer of the US brand.

In addition, many professionals shared their unique insights and suggestions regarding companies going global at the conference, including Chen Xiaoting, executive director of Guangdong Kingbridge Shanghai Law Firm, and Zhao Guoyi, director of corporate and international relations for China at BIPO, a Singapore-based human resources solutions provider.
