With global supply chains undergoing rapid restructuring, Chinese companies are increasingly viewing overseas expansion not as an option but as a strategic imperative. The Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA)'s has strengthened its "go global" support system with the establishment of a One-stop Overseas Service Base.

TEDA's emerging service architecture is designed to give firms the capability, standards, and confidence to compete in complex global markets.

The service base has already demonstrated its role as an interdepartmental coordination hub. When unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturer EFY Intelligent faced customs delays, the base convened the customs authority's special office, commercial regulators, and airport customs to clarify procedures and optimize workflows.

Export efficiency improved by 50 percent, and the company now has a standardized process for future large-scale shipments. For general manager Zhang Yun, the experience showed how targeted, cross-departmental intervention can remove immediate obstacles while building long-term capacity.

TEDA has developed a dual-track service model — "global presence abroad, strong support at home." It is anchored by a rapid-response mechanism: one-hour demand confirmation, 24-hour resource matching, and seven-day execution.

The base operates 13 domestic centers and 21 overseas service stations across Belt and Road regions, Europe, and the United States. Through partnerships with more than 60 business associations and over 100 specialized institutions, it provides a full-element service matrix capable of responding to diverse needs, from compliance and logistics to market entry and factory localization.

To guide enterprises through different phases of globalization, TEDA created a five-stage service framework — guidance, launch, acceleration, safeguarding, and return. This is supported by 104 standardized procedures covering legal compliance, customs facilitation, cross-border finance, and overseas industrial development.

This structure has enabled companies such as Lianlong New Materials to advance major international projects, including securing site approval for a $178 million R&D and manufacturing base. More than 40 enterprises have already received customized "one enterprise, one plan" services, with over 500 consultations and transactions handled.

Talent development is another pillar. To address the shortage in overseas-ready professionals, TEDA has established a Cross-border Digital Economy Talent Base, integrating industry, education, and training.

Focusing on "foreign language + cross-border e-commerce" and "foreign language + intelligent manufacturing," the base partners with over 30 universities and 200 experts, developing practical modules that have already trained more than 1,000 composite talents for 500 enterprises.

Companies report above 90 percent satisfaction with overseas position-matching and significant gains in market expansion efficiency.

Through this "one port, one island, dual-track, multi-node" system, TEDA aims to deliver a full-chain, full-cycle, and full-coverage support network that enables Chinese enterprises to navigate the world with greater security, speed, and strategic clarity.
