The Asian American Business Development Center was established in New York City in 1994 to promote greater recognition of Asian American businesses' contributions to the general economy. AABDC encourages Asian American businesses' to be more actively involved in issues and policies that directly affect them at the federal, state and city levels and provides capacity-building assistance to business entities that enables them to compete in the mainstream marketplace and expand business opportunities.

Several entities fall under the AABDC umbrella all with the same agenda, to promote recognition, development, and acceptance of Asian Americans and Asian American owned businesses. Also, to recognize and award outstanding Asian American and minority corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and business owners, and to promote business, trade, tourism, and cultural exchange between the US and China.
