Asia GO IPO Summit 2025 Provides Roadmap for Asian Private Companies Seeking to Maximize U.S. IPO Success

    --  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."

Conference Agenda

    --  State of the IPO Market


        --  Introduces recent listing and trading data for NASDAQ-listed
            companies, explains the exchange's role in supporting companies
            before and after listing, and discusses the key listing criteria
            that private companies must meet to list on NASDAQ.
    --  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.
    --  SPACs: Advantages and Lessons Learned


        --  Hear from CEOs who recently went public via the SPAC merger,
            investment bankers, and advisors about the advantages and challenges
            of a de-SPAC.
    --  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.
    --  Tapping the Markets: Shelf Offerings, ATMs, and PIPEs


        --  One of the principal advantages of a U.S. listing is the flexibility
            to conduct follow-on offerings to raise multiple rounds of growth
            capital. Learn about the options to tap the equity and debt markets,
            including registered directs, ATMs, PIPEs, and convertibles, as well
            as the "toxic" structures that can destroy shareholder value.
    --  M&A as a Public Company
        --  Public companies have greater flexibility to make acquisitions using
            their equity as currency and generally have greater access to the
            debt markets. This panel will teach you how to use M&A to drive
            global expansion, acquire valuable IP, and consolidate market share.
