Newpreneur of the Year is a contest sponsored by Alibaba, in partnership with Inc. Magazine. What is a "Newpreneur"? According to Alibaba.com, a Newpreneur is, "A new breed of entrepreneurs who are using the recession as a catalyst to start a business or develop an idea. Using an innovative approach, they seize each opportunity with passion and ambition. By relying on emerging technologies, trusted resources and successful mentors, they take their business to the next level."

Why is this important to me? Because Forward Mobility is a company that distributes medical mobility products manufactured by a plant in Vietnam. This is where the story gets interesting....Kids First Enterprise is a non profit organization that manufactures wheelchairs and other products for Forward Mobility. They are on a mission to provide economic sustainability for the people Dong Ha Town while donating wheelchairs, organizing rehabilitation centers, and providing job training.

Forward Mobility has been chosen as Newpreneur of the Year!  With its innovative mobility aids and modern business model, Forward Mobility has the passion and ambition to redesign medical equipment for today's high demand lifestyle.
