Our Journey: From 1948 to Now
Founded in the aftermath of World War II, AIESEC came to life through the vision of seven young individuals from seven different countries. They aspired to foster international understanding by transforming one life and facilitating one cultural exchange at a time.
Fast forward to today: we are present across 110+ nations, we empower 30,000+ young lives every years, and we unite with 5,000+ partner organizations to create a lasting impact.
