Brochure
Letter from the President
Seven years ago, I was a bright-eyed entrepreneur who has just launched a startup called NetScreen
Technologies. As we envisioned growing our startup, I found myself developing an increasingly lengthy wish
list. I wished I had more business experience, I wished I had more mentors.
Fortunately, I found several
mentors who guided us through NetScreen’s various stages of growth, and helped us morph the company
from just an idea, to an established market player, to becoming part of Juniper Networks (networking industry
leader) in 2004.
It has been an incredible journey, and I am indebted to my mentors. Earlier this year, I became president of
Hua Yuan Science and Technology Association (HYSTA), partly motivated by a deep desire to give back, and
to help others avoid the mistakes I have made, and the detours I have taken in the past. I hope to see more
and more Chinese professionals to be successful in setting up and growing their own businesses or excelling
in established Silicon Valley companies.
On a macro scale, the rapid rise of China signals a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Silicon Valley Chinese.
We’ll see two emerging mega-trends in the next few years. On one side, many US multinationals will
significantly expand their business inside China as a strategic move; on the other hand, more and more
Chinese companies are looking for expansion opportunities in the US.
HYSTA members, many of us
possessing the cultural and business understanding of two of the largest economies in the world, will play a
pivotal role and contribute significantly to these trends.
HYSTA is at an impressive 2,000-member strong today. I want to thank and acknowledge the leadership
before me as well as our sponsors. Most importantly, I would like to personally thank many HYSTA volunteers.
You have provided countless contributions as well as much toil, sweat and selfless sacrifices to make HYSTA
the success it is today. I am sure that your contribution will not only help the local Chinese community, but also
help yourself grow.
Riding on an excellent foundation, HYSTA’s board, management team and volunteers are working hard at
creating more value for HYSTA’s members and sponsors. We endeavor this year to improve the quality and
quantity of our many programs and events. We will endeavor as well to borrow best practices from the private
sector and seamlessly execute on HYSTA’s operations. This year, as we continue to focus on fostering entrepreneurship, we also launched the Emerging Leaders Forum – a forum focused on helping Chinese professionals
to develop their career inside mid-size to large companies.
The future is bright. The opportunities are limitless. If you’re ready to inspire, or to get inspired, I invite you to
join us on this amazing journey.

Inspiring Chinese in Business and Technology
Overview
Success Story
If the last century was a time when China struggled to find its
identity and its place in the world, the new millennium is an era
when China returns to center stage. China’s growth now accounts
for 30 percent of the world’s GDP. It is not only one of the most
attractive places in the world for production, but also the fastest
growing market for most products and services. China has
become an important focus of every global investor and
an integral part of every global corporation’s strategy. In recent
years, a new generation of Chinese entrepreneurs is starting to
make an impact in China and abroad.
Hua Yuan Science and Technology Association (HYSTA) was
founded in the Silicon Valley in 1999 by a group of pioneering
Chinese entrepreneurs. Arriving in the U.S. first as students, they
later rose to prominence as founders and leaders of billion dollar
public companies. They hoped to build a better connection between China and U.S., and to help aspiring Chinese professionals
become successful entrepreneurs like themselves. Hua Yuan, the
first two words of HYSTA, means “Chinese origin” and represents
HYSTA’s deep roots in China and with the Chinese government.

Miradia is a Bay Area startup focused on designing state-of-art display chips for projection-based
HDTV. Its founders met Mr. Tingru Liu, Managing
Director of Infotech, a VC arm of the Chinese
Ministry of Information Industry (MII) during Hua
Yuan‘s 2004 annual conference. As a result of
that meeting, Infotech joined leading VC’s in the
Silicon Valley, including Sequoia and Worldview
to invest in Miradia’s series B financing.
“Miradia wa looking for an experienced investor
who can help with their penetration into the China
market. Infotech was looking for a quality company
with distinct technology leadership and a huge
potential market. Hua Yuan’s annual conference
provided a unique
platform
for establishing
such a valuable connection,” said Mr. Greg Miller,
CEO of Miradia.
Milestones

WhatWe Do
HYSTA’s programs are designed with one primary goal in mind - enable our members to learn
valuable skills and build valuable connections in order to become better entrepreneurs and
corporate executives. Our programs, ranging from 20 people seminars to 1,000 people
conferences, leverage HYSTA’s unmatched network of accomplished Chinese business leaders
and investors interested in China and in Chinese entrepreneurs.
In addition to general programs such as the Annual Conference and the Speaker Series, each
of HYSTA’s three Silicon Valley chapters also conducts their own activities targeted at specific
interest groups. Executive Club focuses on enabling the community’s luminaries to connect,
exchange ideas, and share resources. Venture Capital Group focuses on the needs of investors
and connects them to aspiring entrepreneurs. The Emerging Leaders Forum (ELF) focuses on
meeting the needs of aspiring professionals through seminars in small group settings.

OurTeam
HYSTA’s success today is a direct result of our volunteers’ hard work and dedication. Although our volunteers
come from different backgrounds, they all have one common passion: the desire to give back to the Chinese
community. Led by accomplished business leaders – HYSTA’s President, Vice President and board members
– they are the people behind HYSTA’s many successful programs and activities. In return, our volunteers grow
with Hua Yuan, learn from managing a diverse and dynamic organization, and benefit from direct interactions
with the business leaders and from each other.
