AIESEC Alumni Europe

What AIESEC Alumni Europe does

AIESEC Alumni Europe (AAE) is a private, volunteer-governed non-profit association founded on 12 April 2015 in Porto, Portugal, that serves as the pan-European umbrella for former AIESEC members. It connects roughly 20 National Alumni Associations (NAAs) across countries including Austria, Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland, and the UK, and reports a staff headcount of approximately 15. Its commercial product is essentially a portfolio of member experiences rather than a software platform: the annual European Regional Alumni Congress (ERAC), the StepUp leadership conference for NAA leaders, the award-winning international Alumni Mentoring Program (now in its 6th edition for 2025/2026), pre-conference Study Tours, and a small set of content products such as the AIESEC 75th Anniversary Storybook.

AAE's operating model is a federation: NAAs act as local channel partners that recruit members, collect dues, and host rotating annual events (Zagreb 2024, Hungary 2025, Wroclaw 2026), while AAE coordinates pan-European programs. The Mentoring Program is delivered in partnership with Kingmakers, an AIESEC alumni consultancy that supplies mentor/mentee training, meta-mentoring, and a formal electronic certification. Monetization is limited to event ticket sales (€49 to €590 depending on duration and accommodation tier) and NAA-level membership dues, with no disclosed financials, no venture or private equity funding, and no software product. The organization has a board seat for technology (VP Tech) but operates a WordPress-based website with no public API, app, or disclosed AI/ML capability.
