Immigrants, Asian Americans, and the Decline of Entrepreneurship in America
Did America’s broken immigration system result in the declining number of immigrant entrepreneurs launching business in the U.S.? What is the role of Asian and Asian American entrepreneurs in the U.S. economy and how is it changing? What went wrong with immigration policy in the U.S.? How can it be fixed?
Join btrax and Asia Society for a panel discussion featuring leading experts on the impact of U.S. immigration policy on attracting talent from Asia and in creating new and innovative industries. The event will also feature Vivek Wadha’s acclaimed new book, The Immigrant Exodus: Why America is Losing the Global Race to Capture Entrepreneurial Talent – named a best book of 2012 by The Economist, which urges the U.S. to respond to the intensifying competition that countries like China and India now offer in attracting talent.
