NACEA (Chinese Entrepreneur Association www.naceaus.org ) after several months of internal preparation, is now presenting its first seminar to the public. Our current goal is to create a home, a training center and a resource pool where the young Chinese with entrepreneurial spirit can discuss all possibilities, build up teams and pool resources and get on the road with their entrepreneur dreams.
As one of the initial efforts, on Feb 3, we will invite John Lau, CEO of AppliedInfo Partners and the Chairman of NJ Chinese-America Chamber of Commerce to come and share with us his 25-year entrepreneur experience in the IT industry, and his tips of how to utilize the US government grants and funding for minority businesses and how to establish supplier relationship with giant corporations. In the future, we can expect continuing support and help from him and his fellow members in NJCACC. To this, we are grateful, and thank him also for offering us his office building for our activities. Hope more people can join in to lend the same hand, because we are at a point any experienced support will hold value.
The second part of the seminar will be the showcase of NACEA!
Three DIE-HARD (no exaggerating) young entrepreneurs from among us will give brief presentations of their varied projects, all of which have been cultivated and discussed for sometime among us. Should you be interested in joining these projects, either as an investor partner or a technical partner, please come and see if the opportunity is right for you. One thing we can assure you, you will find it worthwhile, for all our current core members find it so, after their first contact with us. And the least you can get is to become inspired and start thinking your own possible future: what I can do to bring some difference to the rest of my life?
