Our Story
Connecting People since 2007
When NEXTSTEP was formed in 2007, our goal was to help Shanghai business community build a curated network of business professionals and access to relevant information to grow their career and company.
In the first 3 years, NEXTSTEP has developed over 150 networking events, forums, and roundtable sessions with a community of entrepreneurs, GMs, and consultants well over 15,000 people in Shanghai.
In 2016, NextStep has organized over 40 entrepreneurial workshops and in 2017 we are now aiming at many more professional training for corporates.
We are providing hands-on workshops and training targeting every entrepreneur and manager, on different subjects (Management, Business Plan, Digitalization and Uberisation, Product Market-fit, Leadership, Organization, ...) along with our online platform NextStepHub.com for Entrepreneurs in Asia.
