About Us
Our story
Founded in January 2025, the Asian Culinary Entrepreneurship Society (ACES) emerged with a bold vision: to champion and uplift Asian-owned culinary businesses. Our mission is to empower Asian culinary entrepreneurs by providing robust support, including business development, marketing resources, kitchen operations expertise, food safety and hygiene guidance, and transformative mentoring opportunities. We are driven by a passion to celebrate the vibrant diversity of Asian cuisine and its profound impact on the global culinary stage, fostering greater awareness and accessibility within our communities.
At ACES, we are committed to building a thriving, sustainable ecosystem of Asian culinary entrepreneurs equipped with the tools, knowledge, and networks to excel in a competitive industry. By fostering connection, innovation, and the sharing of rich culinary traditions, we amplify the voices and talents of Asian chefs and business owners.
