About Us

The Afghanistan International Business Council (AIBC) was established by a collective of Afghan business proprietors, advocates, and professionals to function as an umbrella organization for Afghan-owned enterprises on a global scale. Its objective is to unify these entities and enhance their collective voice to promote sustainable economic growth and collaboration, which may ultimately contribute to Afghanistan’s economic development and the advancement of Afghan businesses both domestically and internationally.
AIBC is a nonprofit, nonpolitical, and non-governmental entity based in Washington, D.C.

Given the dispersion of the Afghan population and investors globally, it has become increasingly essential to identify and emphasize Afghan-owned enterprises, their contributions to the societies and nations in which they operate, and to formulate strategies that align with their interests, subsequently communicating these to policymakers. Moreover, it is imperative to unite them and devise strategies for the economic advancement of Afghanistan.
We perceive our role as encompassing five distinct layers: firstly, to identify Afghan-owned enterprises and business support organizations across various nations; secondly, to comprehend their concerns, interests, and growth strategies; thirdly, to facilitate connections with the appropriate resources; fourthly, to advocate on their behalf and amplify their voices; and finally, to unite these entities for the advancement of Afghanistan’s economy.
