About National ACE

Empowering AAPI and all small businesses and entrepreneurs through access to resources and opportunities for growth.

OUR MISSION

We advance the
Asian American, Pacific Islander, and all small business communities

One voice for the AAPI and all small 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 and all small businesses.

National ACE seeks to improve the overall economic, political, and social well-being of AAPIs and all small business owners by removing barriers to starting, retaining, and growing a business.

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