San Jose MBDA Business Center is a federally funded project by The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Minority Business Development Agency, and ASIAN, Inc. of San Francisco.

The San Jose MBDA Business Center is an entrepreneurially-focused program; our primary objective is to assist the integration and participation of the minority-owned business community in the nation’s economic growth. Understanding that this is a task that requires synergies beyond the efforts of a single organization, we have established a private/public, multi-industry-sector network of buyers, suppliers and service providers that results in a holistic, added value business service to our partners and clients.

In order to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the center and to cover the major economic activity hubs in the Bay Area we are headquartered in San Jose, with satellite office in San Francisco.
