Connecting Southeast Asia: A Strategic Investment Briefing for Chinese Manufacturers Looking to Expand Abroad

Connecting Southeast Asia: A Strategic Investment Briefing for Chinese Manufacturers Looking to Expand Abroad

Thursday, 02 Apr, 2026

Event Overview

As global supply chains continue to restructure at an accelerating pace, one question sits at the top of every forward-thinking Chinese manufacturer's agenda: Where do we go next?

On April 17, 2026, an answer will take shape in Shenzhen.

"连线东南亚:产能出海投资分享" (Connecting Southeast Asia: Overseas Capacity Investment Sharing) is a high-level, invitation-style investment briefing bringing together six of the most representative industrial park operators across Vietnam and Malaysia — all under one roof, in one afternoon, for a focused and practical conversation about what it truly means to expand your manufacturing footprint into Southeast Asia.

The event is organized by 深圳出海e站通; 香港科技创新融合总会; 深圳市创新产业融合促进会, with FIBIC serving as the strategic partner in Vietnam — lending on-the-ground credibility and deep local market intelligence to the program.

Why This Event — Why Now

The macro backdrop has never been more compelling. China's manufacturing sector is undergoing a structural transformation: low-margin, labor-intensive production is migrating outward, freeing up space for higher-value, high-tech industries to take root domestically. Southeast Asia — Vietnam and Malaysia in particular — has emerged as the primary destination for this capacity migration, fueled by low labor costs, favorable FDI policies, RCEP trade dividends, and strong logistical connectivity.

Vietnam has become a go-to destination for electronics assembly, textile and garment manufacturing, and dense component industries. Malaysia, meanwhile, offers a mature free trade zone environment, world-class logistics infrastructure, and an increasingly sophisticated industrial base. Together, they represent two of the most strategically complementary manufacturing destinations in the region.

This isn't simply capital flight or industrial outsourcing. It is the emergence of a new division of labor: China as the R&D and innovation core; Southeast Asia as the assembly and production front. The Belt and Road infrastructure deepening this connectivity only accelerates the timeline.

For Chinese businesses navigating this shift, the single biggest challenge isn't motivation — it's accurate, trustworthy information. Which industrial park is right for my industry? What are the real hidden costs? Who are the local partners I can actually rely on? What are the regulatory risks I need to know before signing a lease?

This event is designed to answer exactly those questions.


What to Expect: Program Highlights

The briefing runs from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM on April 17, 2026, at the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Innovation Center, Block A, Nanshan District, Shenzhen — hosted inside the 出海e站通 service center.

Attendance is capped at 50 participants, with priority given to 智行 platform members, ensuring an intimate, high-quality room of decision-makers rather than a crowded trade show floor.

The afternoon is structured around two geographical tracks:

Vietnam Track — Three Developers Presented ONLINE:

Malaysia Track — Three Industrial & Logistics Hubs Presented ONLINE:

  • PKFZ (Port Klang Free Zone) — Malaysia's largest free commercial zone, offering unmatched logistics access, tax incentives, and a deep ecosystem of trade-related services.

  • 马中关丹国际物流园 (Malaysia-China Kuantan International Logistics Park) — A flagship bilateral cooperation project between Malaysia and China, purpose-built to support Chinese enterprise expansion.

  • 金狮工业城 (Lion Group Industrial City) — A large-scale integrated industrial development with diversified industrial accommodation options.

The program concludes with an investment risk briefing and summary session delivered by 盈科律所 (Yingke Law Firm), ensuring attendees walk away not just inspired, but legally and commercially informed.


Who Should Attend

This event is specifically designed for:

  • Business owners and executives with interest in understanding the Vietnam and Malaysia markets

  • Companies actively considering investment in Malaysia or Vietnam for manufacturing relocation or expansion

  • Management professionals at modern service firms supporting Chinese businesses in their overseas expansion journey

If you are exploring where to plant your next factory, warehouse, or regional headquarters in Southeast Asia — this afternoon will compress months of due diligence into a single, curated, expert-led session.
