About Us

Mission

The Asian American Business Development Center was established by John Wang in New York City in 1994 to promote greater recognition of the contribution made by Asian American businesses and Asian American individuals to the general economy.

Vision

The Asian American Business Development Center aims to raise the representation of Asian Americans in corporate leadership, increase the numbers of Asian American women in senior roles, and advocate for economic equity for all minority-owned small businesses. AABDC promotes allyship among
diverse communities and works to foster long-lasting, productive relationships between minority populations and corporations.
