About National ACE

Empowering AAPI entrepreneurs and communities through access to resources and opportunities for growth.

OUR MISSION

We advance the
Asian American and Pacific Islander business community

One voice for the Asian American and Pacific Islander business community, building capacity and fostering economic growth through advocacy, partnerships and programs.


OUR STORY

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). Our mission is to advance the aspirations of the AAPI business community.

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.

We do this through uplifting dialogue on topics that impact the AAPI entrepreneurs; supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts; fostering the economic development of AAPI neighborhoods; expanding access to traditional and alternative forms of financing; offering in-language technical assistance; advancing public-private coalitions and building community; and elevating the next generation of AAPI leadership.
