The Young Entrepreneurs Group Asia-Pacific (YEG-AP), was created during the 68th CACCI Council Meeting held in May 2004 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Its goal is to provide a venue for young entrepreneurs in CACCI member countries to get actively involved in entrepreneurial development. CACCI hopes that the YEG-AP will serve as an effective venue for identifying suitable programs geared towards entrepreneurial development for young entrepreneurs. Ms. Anna Marie Periquet from the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry was elected chairman of the group.
The YEG-AP held its inaugural meeting in February 2005 during the 20th CACCI Conference held in New Delhi. Among others, the meeting approved the Plan of Action of the YEG-AP.
The group met for the second time during the 70th CACCI Council Meeting in October 2005 in Tbilisi, Georgia. During that meeting, the group nominated Mr. Teisuke Suzuki, former Chairman of the Federation of Young Entrepreneurs Group of Japan, to be the YEG-AP Vice-Chairman. The group also approved the criteria and mechanics for the First Asia-Pacific Young Entrepreneurs Awards to be presented during the 21st CACCI Conference to be held in November 2006 in Taipei as part of the activities to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of CACCI.
Subsequent meetings were held in Taipei,Taiwan on November 1, 2006; Perth, Australia on July 26, 2007 during the 73rd CACCI Council Meeting; on October 22, 2008 in Manila, Philippines during the 22nd CACCI Conference; and on May 31, 2009 in Yokohama, Japan during the 23rd CACCI Conference.
Christian, I found your blog by googling “taiwan entrepreneur blog”.
I’m an entrepreneur in California and I’m expanding my operation to Taiwan very soon.
Do you know of any sharp, entrepreneurial-minded individuals in Taiwan?
Thank you,
