Shanghai is China's financial capital and commercial gateway, home to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and its STAR Market, the world's busiest container port, and the China International Import Expo (CIIE), one of the world's largest import trade fairs.
The Lujiazui financial district hosts investor relations events, IPO meetings, and the Bund Summit supported by financial translation, while the Shanghai International Arbitration Centre (SHIAC) and the Shanghai Higher People's Court hear high-value commercial and free-trade-zone disputes.
The National Exhibition and Convention Center and the Shanghai New International Expo Centre run CIIE, MWC Shanghai, ChinaJoy, Auto Shanghai, Automechanika Shanghai, CMEF, and CPHI China, the Hongqiao Hub and the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone and Lin-gang Special Area drive trade, logistics, and customs proceedings, and the automotive cluster around the region's electric-vehicle and joint-venture plants generates supplier and joint-venture negotiations.
Hospitals such as Huashan, Ruijin, Zhongshan, and Shanghai United Family add steady international-patient interpreting demand backed by medical translation, with coverage extending across the Yangtze River Delta to Suzhou, Hangzhou, and beyond.
We provide simultaneous interpreting in ISO-compliant booths for CIIE, congresses, and conferences, consecutive interpreting for SHIAC arbitration, court cases, meetings, and site visits, whispered (chuchotage) interpreting for boardroom and one-to-one settings, and remote interpreting on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex for hybrid and online programs.
We arrange booths, headsets, and wireless receiver systems with on-site technicians where a venue lacks built-in cabins.
Our Shanghai service covers Mandarin Chinese, Shanghainese on request, English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Korean, and Arabic, along with regional varieties such as Hokkien, Hakka, and Teochew, serving multinationals in market-entry and regulatory meetings, SHIAC proceedings, the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, and the Shanghai International Finance Centre, with court-experienced interpreters for SHIAC and Higher People's Court assignments. Trade and corporate agreements discussed in Shanghai can be matched with certified document translations arranged with the interpreter.
