The Asian Business Forum North East

The Asian Business Fourm (NE) is a not for profit organisation established in March 2004.

At the Asian Business Forum North East (ABF), we aim to be the voice for the Asian business community working within the business support network and One Northeast. We encourage networking within the region to identify business opportunities and to facilitate in their implementation.

Now in our sixth year, the ABF continues to raise its profile through its working partnerships with key organisations in the region. We host seminars and events which serve to inform our members of relevant and topical issues and also provide a gateway to a plethora of business support.

Today the impact of Asian entrepreneurs can be seen everywhere in the UK economy and especially in the North East, across a wide range of businesses. The community is among some of the region's largest employers and wealth creators.

The aim of the Asian Business Forum is to support and nurture Asian talent across the regional community.

The Asian Business Forum (North East) was formally established in March 2004 and the committee is keen to develop the membership across the region to create an effective business lead lobbying organisation.

We are keen to develop our activity and welcome your contribution and involvement in what we believe to be an important initiative for our communities.
