What American-Eurasian Business Coalition does

The American-Eurasian Business Coalition (AEBC) is an independent 501(c) non-profit organization founded in 1990 and headquartered at 1717 K St. NW, Suite 900, Washington, DC. AEBC positions itself as the first organization to use the term 'Eurasia' for transatlantic and transpacific trade with America, and has organized international business conferences for over 35 years. Its mission is to assist companies in understanding changes and trends in world trade across 103 Eurasian countries, providing trade facilitation, investor introductions, market analysis, and policy-dialogue services between US corporations and Eurasian government ministries, multilateral development banks, and trade associations.

AEBC's core offerings are services rather than technology products. The portfolio spans Investor Relations Services (introductions to foreign market counterparts and Eurasian government ministries), Global Funding Guidance (linking businesses with the World Bank Group and USAID), Trade Introductions (to Eurasian officials and import/export partners), Program Development and Management (with technology contacts including SAP, Manugistics, and Oracle), World Bank Business Opportunity navigation within the institution's $20-25 billion annual lending market, National Infrastructure and Security Consulting (feasibility studies for airports, ports, highways, radar, and defense), Business Representation across offices in Washington and Eurasia, Market Segment Analysis, and Event Planning and Trade Conferences. The organization also produces research publications on topics including critical minerals, US-China tariffs, semiconductors, and US-Taiwan trade.

AEBC monetizes through three primary streams: tiered Corporate Membership Fees (Diamond $20,000/year for large companies, Platinum $10,000/year for small companies, Gold $5,000/year for individuals), Conference Sponsorship, and Event Registration Fees. Distribution is event-driven: annual conferences held at the US Capitol, the Ronald Reagan Building/International Trade Center, the World Trade Center, and through the 'Evenings with the Embassies' series at European and Asian embassies in Washington, DC. Marketing reach extends through a database of 300,000+ subscribers and information distribution via the New York Times, Washington Post, and international outlets, with conferences televised in the US and abroad. Customer segments include Fortune 1000 multinational corporations, small and mid-size firms, multilateral development banks (World Bank, IMF, ADB, EBRD, AIIB), and government ministries and officials from Eurasian countries.
