ARC Group to Host Sept. 3 Shanghai M&A Forum as Chinese Cross-Border Deals Rebound in 2026

Summary
Sept. 3 is the date for ARC Group’s invitation-only Capital Markets and M&A Forum 2026: China Edition at the Waldorf Astoria Shanghai, focused on overseas listings, cross-border M&A and Chinese companies’ global expansion.
Three themes will drive the event: overseas listing and fundraising choices, deal structures and execution hurdles in cross-border M&A, and long-term globalization planning for Chinese enterprises.
ARC Group says 2026 capital flows are becoming more bidirectional and complex, with sustained outbound expansion by Chinese companies, renewed foreign investor interest in China partnerships and a fresh wave of AI-linked joint ventures.
Two keynote addresses and two panel discussions will examine listing standards, valuation gaps, compliance risks and geopolitical pressures that ARC says still complicate mid-market cross-border transactions.
Seven global financial centers have hosted ARC Group’s forum series since 2022, with the Shanghai stop serving as its China anchor and a signal of the firm’s deeper push in Asia.
