About AAPISTRONG

AAPISTRONG is a national call-to-action program powered by the National Asian/Pacific Islander American Chamber of Commerce and Entrepreneurship (National ACE). The program’s primary goal is to convene our network of affiliate Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) business organizations, entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and stakeholders to advance equity, justice, and opportunity for AAPI communities everywhere.

AAPI-owned businesses are absolutely essential to the health of national and local economies. 1 in 10 businesses in the country are AAPI-owned, and we operate in the food industry, healthcare, convenience stores, salons, manufacturing, and technology. The AAPISTRONG program fosters the wellbeing of these vital institutions by providing technical assistance on business resilience, resources on business recovery, information on starting, growing, or retaining a business, and creating avenues for education on access to capital and contracting.

Together, with our public and private partners, we are standing up against racial discrimination while building community and sharing resources on how AAPI entrepreneurs can overcome the most pressing challenges and become more resilient. From anti-Asian hate to health equity, sustainability, and digital adoption,, the AAPISTRONG program will continue working with local partners to provide businesses with much-needed services, resources, and connections.
