AAPI Visionary Entrepreneurs

Panel Discussion Series and Exhibition

Timothy Joo - Adjunct Faculty - Entrepreneurship Department
William Reinisch - Chair of the Entrepreneurship Department

The AAPI Visionary Entrepreneurs Panel Discussion Series and Exhibition project highlighted the challenges facing AAPI entrepreneurs and the broader community through the COVID-19 pandemic. Panelists addressed these challenges and examined solutions that can help advance the community through these difficult times.  

The project also featured an exhibition at the FIT campus in conjunction with the panel discussion to showcase the work of AAPI owned entrepreneurs. The objective was to communicate the journey of their entrepreneurial process on how their brands started from an idea/concept to its final execution/product.

The goals of both the panel and the exhibition were to educate and inspire students with an entrepreneurial spirit to start their own brands, taking pride in incorporating their cultural heritage and identities into their business ideas.
