• Nasdaq and MarcumAsia to Co-Host a one-day seminar on how Asian companies can list and thrive in the U.S. capital markets

NEW YORK and HONG KONG, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Corporate management teams, venture capital, and private equity firms, and key advisors will get a comprehensive overview of the state of the U.S. IPO markets and secrets to success as a public company at the  Asia Go IPO Summit to be held on September 12, 2025, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Hong Kong.  

Co-hosted by Nasdaq and MarcumAsia and organized by AUM Media, this one-day event is designed for the senior management teams and board members of innovative Asian companies seeking to raise growth capital and build global brands, as well as venture capital and private equity firms evaluating the optimal exits for their portfolio companies. This builds on the success of the Japan Go IPO Summit on June 5^th in Tokyo which attracted 400 private companies, VCs, and capital markets experts.

"Asian private companies are accelerating their journey to global capital markets, driven by visionary leadership and bold growth ambitions," commented Drew Bernstein, co-CEO of MarcumAsia CPAs LLP. "Despite the heightened geopolitical tensions between Asia and the U.S., we continue to see a robust pipeline of companies based in Greater China seeking to execute a go-global strategy and tap into the unparalleled liquidity, visibility, and capital access a Nasdaq listing offers."

"We are excited to feature experts from the leading investment banks and advisors that are most active in cross-border listings from Asia," said Crocker Coulson, CEO of AUM Media. "The conference will also feature case studies with some of the most high-profile IPOs and SPAC mergers from Asia in recent years to explain how they navigated an incredibly complex regulatory and political environment."

• Elements of IPO Success: What Investors Expect
  • Top investment banks will offer frank perspectives and current market information to guide management on whether a U.S. IPO is right for their company.
    
    
    
    
•  IPO Case Study: How They Did It?
  • Behind-the-scenes look at one of the highest-profile IPOs from Greater China in the past 12 months. Company management, their underwriters, and legal counsel will explain the path to choosing a U.S. listing, the challenges overcome, and the lessons learned.

• Preparing for the IPO: Legal, Accounting, and Audit
  • Building the right team of advisors is vital to take advantage of market windows and efficiently move through SEC registration. Learn about the roles of your auditor, internal accounting firm, SEC legal counsel, and other key advisors in the IPO process.
    
    
    
    
• Special Challenges for PRC Companies: Navigating the US-China Divide
  • The panel will explore the complex landscape faced by Chinese companies seeking to list on U.S. exchanges amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. Discussions will focus on obtaining necessary approvals from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and the impact on deal timing, managing risks related to heightened scrutiny from U.S. political bodies, and strategies for making Chinese firms attractive to global investors despite regulatory and political challenges.
    
    
    
    
• Developing a Following on Wall Street: IR, Research Coverage and Trading
  • While some may think that ringing the opening bell on the first day of trading is the end of the IPO journey, it is only the beginning. New public companies must proactively engage with investors to develop liquidity in the stock and attract an institutional following. Learn about the elements of success, including analyst coverage, non-deal roadshows, investment conferences, and frequent and accurate disclosures. The panel will also cover the intelligence tools available to track your shareholder base and anticipate activist investor activity.
