NextStep Principles

  NextStep was founded on March 6th, 2007 and has grown to a community of thousands.

  NextStep provides a forum for like-minded entrepreneurs to collaborate in building new businesses and also helping one another navigate the many pitfalls of conducting business in China.

  As professionals, we all understand the importance of a strong support network in pursuing our successes.

Connecting People

“Too often there is a barrier to entry into any field, any industry, or any business. In the case of a burgeoning entrepreneur it is typically a lack of access to information and capital that keeps them from entering the playing field. NextStep sees an opportunity to make the life of business professionals slightly less complex.”

Joe Constanty, NextStep CEO

  L’Atelier BNP Paribas – Market Research, Consulting.

In order to promote Digital China 09, a study mission about E-Business in China, we helped Patrice Nordey to organize a conference to reach new potential clients by having LU Peng Deputy CEO and VP of Taobao.com as featured guest to attract guests. Because of this successful event, L’Atelier is now considering a new positioning and marketing channel of communication by partnering with NextStep to create a series of China-Tech events.
