Why become a member

What membership gives you

AIM Global is a community. Its value lies in the people, perspectives and conversations it brings together, and in what you bring to them.

A seat in a global conversation

Take part in a UN-convened dialogue on how AI is reshaping industry and manufacturing — and how it should.

Peers on every continent

Connect with organisations from more than 70 countries that face the same questions as you — from very different starting points.

Perspectives beyond your sector

Hear directly from policymakers, industry, researchers and civil society — voices that rarely meet in the same room.

A commitment that speaks for you

Signing the AIM Global Pledge shows partners, customers and citizens that your organisation stands for responsible and human-centric AI.

Visibility for your work and ideas

Present your organisation, expertise and interests to a global, multi-sector audience through your member profile and the Marketplace.

A voice for an inclusive AI future

Help make sure the benefits of AI in industry reach emerging economies and smaller enterprises — not only the frontrunners.
