The Academy of Asia+ Business was initiated and founded in the auspicious Year of the Dragon in 2024 by Dr. Chen Qiwei, recipient of the 1987 Sun Yefang Award for Outstanding Economic Works in China. Established in Hong Kong, the academy's mission is to empower the new generation of entrepreneurs precisely in the era of global transformations, collaboratively seeking a fresh future amid challenges and uncertainties. Guided by the principle of "From the heart, greatness unfolds", the academy aims to shape the "depth" and "breadth" of business in the modern civilization, fostering a profound and expansive business landscape.
The Academy of Asia+ Business (referred to "AAB")was established at the beginning of the Year of the Dragon in 2024. It has evolved from the successful operation of the "Zheng Jing Shu(A private business school follow the traditional Chinese cultural)", which has been operating for five years. The school has endeavored to differentiate from traditional business schools by introducing on-site study tours. The younger generation of entrepreneurs and investors in China has been benefited directly from this kind of on site communications with nearly a hundred leaders of prominent Chinese enterprises, resulting in substantial benefits.
Therefore, as the development environment for Chinese private enterprises becomes increasingly complex and chaotic, Dr. Chen, in collaboration with like-minded individuals, founded the "Academy of Asia+ Business." Headquartered in Hong Kong, the academy aims to broaden the global perspectives and information access of the new generation of Chinese entrepreneurs. It provides a platform for gaining empowerment and development opportunities in a larger space, ultimately enhancing their chances of success.
The theme declared at the inauguration ceremony of "AAB" – "Starting from the Heart, Embracing Diversity," signifies the academy's commitment to the spirit and values of "achieving life through business, empowering society." The innovative learning approach of "tailor-made, precise guidance" is poised to substantially support students in their efficient and successful growth, enabling them to navigate through cycles and emerge victorious in the future. This approach seamlessly integrates with the modern civilization of Chinese society.
"Starting from the heart, greatness comes from tolerance." Based on shaping the "depth" and "breadth" of modern business civilization to create a new era of business in modern China, AAB aims to shape the "old money" for the future. The academy is established in Hong Kong due to the advantages of the "One Country, Two Systems" policy in terms of global perspective and information acquisition, as well as its advantages in international exchanges. The Academy encourages students to deeply understand global market dynamics and integrate into the world business civilization. Additionally, AAB has established extensive connections with business alumni associations of major universities both domestically and internationally, providing students with rich learning resources.
The true origin of the AAB can be traced back 36 years ago when Dr. Chen Qiwei, inspired by the esteemed Mayor Wang Daohan's suggestion, founded the Asia Business Group. Consequently, he had the privilege of witnessing the entire process of China's reform and opening-up, especially the development of the capital market. Dr. Chen made a vow to Mayor Wang Daohan 36 years ago, expressing his desire to return to his original profession after achieving success in business and establish a new type of university.
During the official unveiling ceremony on January 17, 2024, notable speakers included Mr. Antony Leung, former Financial Secretary of Hong Kong; Mr. Peter Woo, Executive Director of the Asia Society and former Chairman of Henderson Land Development; Mr. Vincent Lo, former Director of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and Chairman of the Rhyton Group; Mr. Charles Li, former Chief Executive of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited; Dr. David K.P. Li, founder of China Credit Information Service; Dr. Mao Zhenhua, Chairman of Shenzhen Digital China Group; Dr. Li Shan, Founding Dean of Beijing International Institute of Wealth Management; and Mr. Guo Wei, Chairman and CEO of Shenzhou Digital Group, among others. Additionally, Professor Richard Drobnick, former Vice Dean of International Relations at the University of Southern California (USC) and founder of the International Business Education and Research (IBEAR) program, specially participated in the event.
Nearly 200 guests attended the ceremony in person, while almost ten million people participated in the live broadcast online. The feedback indicates that the AAB has come at an opportune moment, with its educational philosophy and service offerings receiving high recognition. The faculty and staff of the AAB are eager to make unique and high-quality contributions to empowering the new generation of business and wealth management elites through innovative education.
