Capital Markets Mongolia (CMM) hosted the inaugural Mongolia Investment Forum: Shanghai 2026 at the Grand Hyatt Shanghai, the fourth edition of its global series following New York, London, and Singapore. The Forum brought together more than 300 delegates from over 200 companies and organizations, convening institutional investors, policymakers, and industry leaders to mobilize long-term capital across Mongolia's priority sectors.

CMM extends its appreciation to global partner Huawei; sponsors Rio Tinto, Envision Energy, and MCS International; and presenting partners Golomt Bank JSC, Guotai Junan International, Monlogistics Holding JSC, SOBT Holding LLC, and Erdenes ITP. Special recognition is extended to the Consulate General of Mongolia in Shanghai, as the Forum's supporting organization was instrumental to its success. 

The Forum drew more than 300 delegates representing over 200 companies and organizations, with participants spanning China, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Australia. Attendees represented multiple sectors: more than 40 Chinese energy and clean technology companies; over 50 financial institutions, asset managers, and securities firms, including global names such as JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, BNY, China Investment Corporation, China Life Insurance, Aberdeen Investment, and S&P Global Ratings; over 20 manufacturing and industrial companies; more than a dozen technology firms led by Huawei and Dahua Technology; and over 20 trade, government, and industry associations. 

The Mongolian delegation was led by Zoljargal Jargalsaikhan, Member of Parliament; Lodoisambuu Chuluunbileg, Member of Parliament; Batkhuu Idesh, State Secretary of the Ministry of Economy and Development; and Bold Dorjderem, Consul General of Mongolia in Shanghai. 

More than 35 Mongolian companies and institutions were represented, including Development Bank of Mongolia, Trade and Development Bank, Khan Bank, Shunkhlai Group, Stairway, Khan Altai Resource, Fingate Financial Group, State Bank of Mongolia, MMS Engineering LLC, Invescore Capital, Apex Capital, Golomt Capital, Sendly NBFI, and Ride Mongolia, among others. 

As Mongolia's largest trading partner, China plays a central role in Mongolia's economic future. The Forum connected Mongolian policymakers, state-owned enterprises, and companies with Chinese investors, industrial partners, and financiers across three priority themes aligned with Mongolia's next phase of growth: mining and critical minerals, energy and industrial modernization, and emerging technology and digital infrastructure.

Highlights:

• Green Energy & Smart Industry: A high-level panel moderated by Leo Wang, Head of China Research at BloombergNEF, brought together Malek Zhang of Huawei Technologies, James Lok of AIIB, Hu Yuanwei of Envision Energy, and Orchlon Enkhtsetseg, CEO of Net Zero Energy LLC, to address Mongolia's energy transition and smart industrial development.
• Mining, Critical Minerals & Industrial Parks: SOBT Holding presented its critical minerals project portfolio, while Erdenes ITP outlined investment opportunities in Mongolia's industrial parks, a cornerstone of the country's manufacturing strategy. 
• Capital Markets & Investment Pitches: Guotai Junan International addressed China–Mongolia financial interconnection and Mongolia's international debt capital markets landscape. Golomt Bank JSC and Monlogistics Holding JSC each presented their investment cases to institutional audiences.

Three signing ceremonies marked the Forum's concrete outcomes: MCS International and Envision Energy formalized a strategic partnership agreement; Stairway LLC and TZME (Tianjin) signed a cooperation agreement; and Shunkhlai Group and Huawei Mongolia agreed to jointly develop large-scale utility solar and battery energy storage projects in Mongolia, with Shunkhlai Group serving as EPC partner and Huawei Mongolia providing Smart PV and Grid-Forming BESS technology. Together, these agreements represent significant steps in institutionalizing China–Mongolia investment cooperation. 

Mongolia Investment Forum: Shanghai 2025 demonstrated that appetite for Mongolia-focused investment is deepening well beyond traditional corridors. Across every session, from green energy and critical minerals to logistics, industrial parks, and capital markets, Chinese investors and Mongolian project sponsors found common ground on concrete, near-term opportunities. The two signing ceremonies on the day reflected a broader shift: conversations that began at previous CMM forums in New York, London, and Singapore are now translating into signed agreements and operational partnerships. 

CMM will continue to develop the Mongolia Investment Forum as an annual platform in Shanghai, deepening engagement across mining and critical minerals, clean energy, infrastructure financing, and digital transformation, the four pillars of Mongolia's long-term growth agenda. Future editions will expand the programme to include bilateral working groups, site visits, and follow-on dealmaking sessions to accelerate the pipeline of China–Mongolia transactions.
