2008 China Trip Details:

Last year’s China trip covered industrial parks in nine cities including Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou Xiaoshan, Huzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing, and Tianjing. In each place, delegates met face to face with senior officials from local government and industrial park, VC, and oversea returnees; and presented their business proposals. Local hosts also introduced their respective industrial parks, future plans, and available benefits/fundings (e.g., 530 and 863 projects).

Feedback from last year’s China Trip:

All delegation members were extremely satisfied. Here are some of their feedbacks.

– “This trip is way beyond expectation.” (from most delegates)

– “绝对大大物超所值 , I am so glad I came.”

– “I truly enjoyed the trip. Many thanks to NACSA's organizers for
all their efforts to make this trip a successful one. In particular I'd like to express gratitude to those NACSA organizers who didn't join us on the trip but spent months preparing for it.”

– “Thanks everyone's hard work of making this wonderful trip happen.
This is an eye opening trip and I learned a lot from it and every group member. It is really my pleasure and honor to be part of it.”

– “NACSA board members must have done huge amount of work to make this possible.”

– “To put it fairly, this trip exceeded my expectation overall with my sincere thanks!

No one could argue that the trip itinerary is rather detailed. This showed organizers' dedication and excellent home work for preparing the trip. Very good communication efforts throughout the trip were made by our team leaders to help us anticipate the upcoming events from one destination to the next. Let's not forget that confirming the schedules with the next stops during the trip could be tedious and time consuming, it took a strong sense of responsibilities to get loop-closed in the background and in a timely fashion.

This quick-paced trip schedule suit me well given that I have wanted to visit as many places as possible and yet with very limited amount of time. For me, it is of particularly valuable to have a first-hand opportunity meet with many of local officials and then be able to come to my own assessment.

Most importantly, I enjoyed the companionship from everyone in the team during the trip. In my career, like some of you, I have logged numerous business-trip miles. Often it gets tiresome during the trip. But for this China trip, with a group of highly motivated and compatible companions, I kept myself upbeat until the moment landed in SFO. I had a very good time.”

– “The trip exceeded my expectation in every aspect. I highly recommend it to anyone I know. It's very well organized. All the leaders showed great leadership during the trip, especially in time of difficulties.

It's hard to measure tangible results in such short time. I believe in a few years, many of us will look back and recognize the influence from this trip.”>

NACSA’s China Trip Update

China Trip, Events on July 27th, 2009 Comments Off on NACSA’s China Trip Update

This year’s China Trip is still on despite the swine flu (H1N1) epidemic. As you may have already known, the Chinese government is taking the swine flu virus very seriously, and many events over the summer have had to be canceled. After consulting with our host and sponsors, NACSA is pleased to announce that the China trip will not be affected. To reduce the potential impact of the swine flu virus, however, NACSA has decided to postpone the trip to mid-October for everyone’s safety.

For members who would like to be a part of the delegation and have already submitted a business proposal, please be patient as we work out the details of the trip. For those who have not submitted a business proposal, this postponement provides an excellent opportunity and much needed time for you to submit your proposal.

In addition, we will be attending the IC China conference as well as visiting high-tech zones, local governments, large/small companies, VC's, etc.

Momentums are also building for China to join the rank of leading economic superpower. These impressive economic accomplishments should provide plenty of motivations for wanting to join NACSA’s 2009 China trip, to be held this Oct., as a way to learn firsthand about startup opportunities in China.

NACSA Seminar Summary: Combating Economic Downturn: Opportunities in Greentech Industry and the Thriving China Market

China Trip, Events on June 8th, 2009 Comments Off on NACSA Seminar Summary: Combating Economic Downturn: Opportunities in Greentech Industry and the Thriving China Market

NACSA Seminar Summary

Under the worst economic crisis ever since the Great Depression, NACSA held a timely seminar to help members better understand and find career opportunities in the greentech industry and in China. With a fitting title of “Combating Economic Downturn: Opportunities in Greentech Industry and the Thriving China Market”, the seminar was held on 5/3/2009 at the Orrick Law Firm in Menlo Park, CA.

Despite being the most impacted during this downturn, semiconductor industry is expected to play the same critical role in the greentech economy of tomorrow as it has in the information economy of today. As key components in the so-called smart grid and smart appliances, semiconductors specifically are widely expected to help producers to harness alternative energy sources more effectively, grid operators to distribute them more intelligently, and end customers to consume them more efficiently.

The keynote speakers assembled for the seminar are top-notched experts in smart grid and power management technology, solar semiconductors, and China-US relations in the areas of science and technology. Ms. Holly Zhang, NACSA’s VP of marketing, kicked off the seminar with an introduction of NACSA’s signature event, China trip 2009.

The first presentation was given by Mr. Eric Daniels, VP of technology in BP Solar. Mr. Daniels demonstrated various means of green energy generation and highlighted current developments and challenges in solar technology. In the second presentation, Ms. Jane Wu, president of eVillage Solar, presented her vision of solar energy for the next decade. She made the case for the increasing demands of green energy and the rapid growth of photovoltaic industry. In the third presentation, Mr. Mark Bramfitt, Principal PM of PG&E, described how Smart Grid technology works as well as the commitments of PG&E as a leader in utility industry. Last but not least, Mr. Jianlong Don, Consul of Consulate General of PRC in SF, gave the last presentation. He explained China’s strategy of re-igniting the Chinese economy and growth engine and the important role of science and technology in the aftermath of the present financial crisis.

The presentations were well received by NACSA’s members as well as outside attendees. Totaling 130 strong overflowing the conference room, the audience showed a great deal of interest in the presented topics, particularly the role semiconductors will play in smart-grid technology. The speakers received so many questions that the MC had to stop some of them to keep the time. After the seminar, many people from the audience stayed in discussing with the speakers and exchanged ideas with each other. Lots of people also showed interest in the China trip, requesting details for the business proposal and time and itinerary of the trip.

Combating Economic Downturn: Opportunities in Greentech Industry and the Thriving China Market

China Trip, Events on April 14th, 2009 Comments Off on Combating Economic Downturn: Opportunities in Greentech Industry and the Thriving China Market

The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) has recently predicted that semiconductors will power the Greentech economy of tomorrow much as they have the Information economy. Destined to play a pivotal role, semiconductors allow people “to harness alternative energy sources more effectively, distribute them more efficiently and intelligently, and consume them in the most efficient manner.” Despite the current economic downturn, many high-tech professionals and entrepreneurs see opportunities aplenty in the semiconductor-powered Greentech industry as well as in the ever-thriving China Market.

NACSA's members and friends are cordially invited to participate in this special event. A distinguished panel of experts will be sharing their knowledge/experiences and highlighting the opportunities in these areas.
