The Chinese love the Aboriginal culture.

An Aboriginal entrepreneur or Nation cannot afford and does not have the luxury of time in an economy where speed wins and distance is dead.  If the learning curve of the Youth Entrepreneurs and the Nation are not reduced drastically, it would be extremely difficult to keep the enthusiasm, aspirations and inspiration of the entrepreneurs alive given their circumstances and conditions.

This Fast Track Method will enable the Youth to build businesses within the community and outside their communities. The Leadership participating in the Trade Mission will have the know how and experience to confidently bless the Youth and other members of the community, to encourage and inspire them without hesitation to build enterprises within their communities.

1.      Cross Cultural Training in Trade, the fastest way possible, which is an absolute essential requirement in business today. 
2.      Direct understanding along with gaining experience of the world's biggest market while developing business relationships with manufacturers and traders in China . A priceless experience. 
3.      Knowing the marketplace directly which will enable the Leadership to inspire the Youth and Aboriginal Entrepreneurs to build businesses of the 21st Century the fastest and the surest way possible. 
4.      Becoming a Street Smart Marketer.

Learning While Doing

Academic education in business will not be as productive in the Aboriginal communities if it is not simultaneously backed by hands on training while building an enterprise. Academics can follow when businesses have been built at par with the mainstream. Then only Academics would be meaningful. Businesses cannot be built in classrooms but on the floor of the trading halls. 
 
 The Entrepreneurs need not only financial support; they need the support of their Leadership.

The Leadership needs to participate with the Entrepreneurs in building their own enterprises. The ideal way the Leadership can bless them to build businesses is by getting and acquiring the same knowledge as they are obtaining so that the Leadership can bestow their full blessings and can communicate with them at the same level. Then it would be effective.

Purpose of the Trade Mission

No school can give an individual practical hands on training in business while they simultaneously build a business.

International Trade and the Distribution Business is mystifying to them that do not have practical hands on training. They cannot see its application. It becomes a theoretical abstraction overcrowding their memory banks.

On the other hand, at the trade shows of this magnitude they see the products and they will see the movement of the product from the source to the consumer (which is marketing). At the same time the theory that is being given to them during the Trade Mission will not be mystifying but would become applied knowledge. It will be a hands on experience and training which will culminate into businesses.  

The Leadership's presence in this Trade Mission

The Leadership's presence in this Trade Mission will fulfill a two fold need:

1.      That when the Entrepreneur comes to the Leadership, to receive their blessings for starting their enterprise, the Leadership will know what they are blessing and will not be afraid and deny their entrepreneur his/her right to build his/her career as an entrepreneur with an opportunity.

2.      The Leadership will be in a position to stand up for their Entrepreneur, to obtain funding and give support both emotional and financial for building businesses and thereby building employment opportunities for their community.

The Aboriginal People do not have any enemies, the only enemy they have is time. They have to run in this age of speed twice as fast as the mainstream world. They first have to play catch-up from the 19th Century to the 21st century - not technologically, but emotionally and socially. (Mentally)

Why Hong Kong, Taipei and China?

This Trade/Leadership Mission in Hong Kong, Taipei and China , against the backdrop of the world s greatest Trade Fairs and fastest growing Economies is an ideal setting for the answer of the 21st Century Market for the Aboriginal People.

Located in the World Trade Center this show coupled with thousands of permanent exhibitors is a must see for all traders.  The AIBDG will be looking at opening a permanent show room at the trade center representing all of the Aboriginal People.

 

Global Marketplace

Act now to make your presence felt at Asia's biggest gifts and premium fair. The show, also the world's third largest, offers the ideal platform for exhibitors to showcase their latest innovations to buyers from Asia and around the world.

In 2005, it celebrated its 20th anniversary in style with a record number of over 3,500 exhibitors from 34 countries and regions. Equally impressive were the visitor numbers, with over 54,000 buyers, of whom over 50% came from overseas, attending the fair.

In conclusion, this Trade Mission will help build entrepreneurs to develop businesses within the Aboriginal communities. Then create the much needed employment opportunities.
