The National Asian/Pacific Islander American Chamber of Commerce and Entrepreneurship (National ACE) was established in 2012 by a group of Asian American executives to serve as the unified voice of the business interests of Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs). National ACE seeks to improve the overall economic, political, and social well-being of AAPIs by removing barriers to starting, retaining, and growing a business, advocating for AAPI businesses in federal and local government, fostering the next generation of AAPI entrepreneurs, and promoting wider AAPI leadership in public and private spheres.
Our mission is to advocate for AAPI business interests and effect positive change on the issues that advance the aspirations of the AAPI business community. We do this through uplifting dialogue on topics that impact the AAPI business community, fostering the economic development of AAPI neighborhoods, advancing coalitions and building community, and supporting the next generation of AAPI leadership.
ACE works to: 1) convene the community by cultivating relationships with AAPI Chambers of Commerce and diverse business organizations throughout the country; 2) foster AAPI leaders and entrepreneurs by creating opportunities for their inclusion in and highlighting their accomplishments; 3) enhance the economic capabilities of the businesses by educating the community on opportunities to access capital and contracts; 4) and improve the business environment for the AAPI business community by creating visibility for our partners n dialogues with the federal government.
