AAEA (Asian-American Entrepreneurs Association) was established in 2020 in Washington DC, and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The members are mainly STEM entrepreneurs who study abroad or immigrated from Asian countries and started their own businesses in the United States and include some successful scholars and outstanding individuals with Asian heritage. AAEA is devoted to assisting and providing national networks and resources to Asian-American-owned enterprises and start-ups from young generations with entrepreneurship, innovative passion, courage, and leadership to strengthen the businesses, to fight for the interests of all members, and to stand up for recognition in this country. We also call upon our members to join our efforts to contribute to the prosperity of American society, so that Asian American businesses can grow and flourish in the United States and become an indispensable backbone of American corporations.

With the rapid economic development of the Asia-Pacific regions, Asian immigrant–owned companies in the US have grown quickly and become a force that cannot be ignored. Because of our cultural and network advantages in Asian heritage countries, Asian-American entrepreneurs have the responsibility to not only help each other but also help the next generation move forward and carry on for a bright future.
