Welcome to CAST-USA’s United Annual Conference and Global Innovation Summit

We are thrilled to gather here today to celebrate three decades of excellence, collaboration, and innovation within the Chinese-American scholarly and professional community. Since its establishment in 1992, the Chinese Association for Science and Technology, USA (CAST-USA) has remained steadfast in its commitment to fostering unity, collaboration, and communication among scholars and professionals across the United States.

At CAST-USA, our mission transcends boundaries and industries, uniting over 20,000 members from diverse fields, including technology, culture, education, law, finance, and the humanities. Our members are a driving force behind scientific research, technological advancements, and cultural preservation in Fortune 500 corporations, esteemed American companies, universities, and research institutions. With sixteen local chapters and professional associations throughout the United States, as well as offices in major global cities, we are a vast and interconnected community committed to progress and mutual understanding.

CAST-USA has always been at the forefront of academic excellence. Our organization organizes numerous academic seminars and activities, providing a vibrant platform for members to engage in enriching exchanges and offer mutual support. Through publications like the “Overseas Scholars” magazine and newsletters, we disseminate critical insights into our academic pursuits, the latest developments in science and technology, industry trends, invaluable career and investment opportunities.

This year’s conference embodies our commitment to fostering intellectual growth and collaboration. We have invited renowned figures to share their expertise and insights, sparking discussions on vital academic and societal topics. As we gather here, we reaffirm our dedication to establishing connections and partnerships with other professional associations in the United States, promoting the free exchange of ideas and knowledge within the bounds of ethical principles and intellectual property protection.

CAST-USA is not only an advocate for professional excellence but also a champion of community engagement. Our local chapters actively participate in community activities, building strong relationships with organizations in their respective areas. We understand that innovation doesn’t happen in isolation; it thrives when we come together and leverage our collective strengths.

As we embark on this exciting journey during our United Conference and Global Innovation Summit, let us continue to celebrate our shared successes, embrace diversity, and seek new avenues for collaboration and growth. Together, we will shape the future of science, technology, culture, and education, contributing to the advancement of global knowledge and progress.
