Young and Emerging Entrepreneurs-
BOUNTIFUL, Utah–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#ARIIX–In a move that underscores the strength of his intellect and elite
international business expertise, the University of International
Business and Economics (UIBE) in Beijing, China, bestowed ARIIX CEO and
Founder Fred Cooper, Ph.D., an honorary professorship in its master’s
degree graduation ceremony on September 19. In conjunction with this
honor, Dr. Cooper was also invited to be a consultant to the Chinese
Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation (CAITEC).
CAITEC is an inter-disciplinary research institution that works with the
Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) of China to further the country’s economic
goals and initiatives.
“China wants the world of trade to be globally connected again like it
was in the Silk Road days, and they have invited Dr. Cooper to be part
of this initiative,” said ARIIX President and Founder Mark Wilson.
“They’re looking for experts from all around the world to participate in
discussions and help solve problems they perceive will arise, and Dr.
Cooper’s dedication to China, his business acumen, intelligence and
experience make him a qualified consultant.”
As one of only 40 American recipients of an honorary professorship at
UIBE since its inception, and the only American recipient in 2018, Dr.
Cooper is counted among an elite group of international leaders that
includes a Nobel Memorial Prize winner, a United Nations official, and
the President of BMW China Automotive Trading Ltd. Dr. Cooper received
the UIBE honorary professorship and CAITEC consulting appointment based
on his business acumen, character and integrity.
“I am incredibly honored to have my input sought by CAITEC,” said Dr.
Cooper. “I have the utmost respect for the Chinese culture and their
strength in economics, engineering and financing. In addition, China’s
young adults are some of the finest in the world in their preparation to
lead out in the next generation of innovation and business. I look
forward to contributing towards UIBE’s financial aid program and the
university’s future research alongside my consultation at CAITEC.”
Dr. Cooper’s background as a professor at the University of Utah and a
global entrepreneur with a strong track record supporting business
growth in China (and worldwide) are some of the specific reasons for his
selection this year, as well as his selection as keynote speaker for the
graduation event.
