Chinese-Canadian businesses got a helping hand recently as the Richmond Chamber of Commerce and Association of Chinese Canadian Entrepreneurs signed a deal last month in Ontario.
Incorporated in 1994, the ACCE encourages entrepreneurship to strengthen the competitiveness of Chinese-Canadian businesses in the global market. It also seeks to assist Chinese-Canadians in developing new businesses by providing quality training in the form of seminars, workshops, conferences and special programs on relevant business topics, as well as a network where members can share resources and provide mutual support.
“This agreement will expand the ACCE’s reach not just into Richmond, but into the Vancouver (Lower Mainland) and for our Richmond members and business, it gives them access to one of the most successful Chinese Business Associations in Canada,” said chamber Gerard Edwards, who signed the agreement March 7 at the 2015 ACCE Awards Gala in Markham.
