Welcome to the American European Business Association
An intentionally small group of fewer than thirty hand-picked transatlantic businesses, the AEBA fosters connectivity, collaboration and understanding between government, business, regulators and the senior executives of major corporations which trade at least between North America and Europe. Since 1980, when we were founded by Sir David Nicolson, we have quietly made possible behind-the-scenes discussions which, in our present climate, have gone from being useful to vital.
Our Purpose
At AEBA we promote dialogue and access across our membership through convening regular small gatherings in which members and their guests may hear off the record, candid opinions from world class experts, diplomats and chief executives of major international concerns – all under the Chatham House Rule.
This allows business leaders, academics, civil servants and regulators to share ideas and insights in a friendly and discreet setting providing the AEBA community with thought provoking views and content from outside their normal course of business, which often aids them in their professional endeavours.
How the AEBA Works
Our goal is to keep the breadth and range of topics covered varied, the speakers of the highest quality and to maintain a selective and senior membership. We meet 8-10 times a year over a punctual lunch, where our purposefully low numbers maintains the quality of the conversation and promotes effective networking. When space permits, and by prior agreement, members may bring guests or colleagues of appropriate seniority, or nominate a colleague to attend in their place.
