"The United Nations has long recognised that the imagination, ideals and energies of young men and women are vital for the continuing development of the societies in which they live. And since its inception in 1948, AIESEC has contributed to this development by serving as an agent of positive change through education and cultural exchange. In an era of globalisation, your programmes have helped young people around the world to develop a broader understanding of cultural, socio-economic and business management issues."

"[AIESEC] is an effective advocate for young people and their aspirations for the future of their communities. As a student NGO, it has an important voice in the debate on the mission of higher education in the 21st century. It helps form responsible citizens with a worldwide vision. Its members are interested in actively participating, as future leaders in the economic world, in building a better society, helping identify and address issues that affect the well-being of communities and global society."

"PricewaterhouseCoopers and AIESEC, with a common philosophy and view of the future, have worked together for many years. We advise today's global business leaders; you are developing those of the future. We both share our knowledge, and in so doing multiply it. We both pursue cultural and professional diversity, achieving the blend of perspectives that leads to innovation."

"For Lufthansa AIESEC represents access to information on the attitudes and preferences of the next generation of managers and customers. We identify AIESEC people as bright, multilingual, who have worked and/or studied abroad and are therefore likely to be internationally mobile throughout their professional careers."

"AIESEC produces global citizens who will hopefully understand and practice the values of open society in their companies and communities. This organisation of bright, enthusiastic young people from all corners of the globe is dedicated to providing international internships that serve both its student members and participating companies and promote understanding between cultures. The foundations I established and currently fund promote AIESEC's activities in many countries."

George Soros

President of Open Society Institut

"It is my view that AIESEC can be a key channel of communication for our efforts in increasing our profile to the student market. Through educating students on Ericsson, its products, corporate philosophy and career opportunities we will contribute to the long-term growth of the company. I believe that it could be beneficial to initiate relationships with AIESEC in your country as a means of targeting future leaders of society and business who are in University at present."

"I was very pleased to be asked to present at your 1997 International Conference in Atlanta, I found the energy level and professionalism of the AIESEC attendees an exhilarating experience. The whole event confirmed in my mind that we, as a company, had made the right decision to forge closer links with AIESEC."

"We have chosen to act as an international sponsor for AIESEC up until now for a period of nine years. AIESEC is an international organisation of students existing in almost all countries of the world. We believe this is a way of making Electrolux and its subsidiaries known to the students and it is a source for recruiting people."

"In the past few years, we have witnessed an incredible globalisation of the markets and mentalities. This trend has been breaking down boundaries and making international co-operation more important than ever. AIESEC encourages and facilitates this trend by bringing young people together, preventing prejudice and fostering an international mentality."

Professor Klaus Schwab

“Cooperation with AIESEC gives us the opportunity to come in contact with talented and motivated students at an early stage. AIESEC offers students the possibility to experience international teamwork, to develop open-mindedness towards different cultures and to gain practical experience. As a member of the supporting group of AIESEC Germany, we would like to recommend a cooperation with this student organisation.”

“It is gratifying that AIESEC gives students who have yet to embark on their business or public careers a forum to think innovatively about the future of industry and our society. In this way, rather than adopting the old ways, they will contribute to the resolution of present problems and raise their expectations for future business practice.”

“Deutsche Bank has cooperated very closely with AIESEC for more than 10 years now.

Walter Hunnewell

“I an convinced that AIESEC fills a definite need both for the student, who has the opportunity to apply his new knowledge firsthand, and for the business world itself, which eventually benefits from better trained individuals. Experience has shown me that AIESEC handles its affairs very pleasantly and efficiently.”

AIESEC has been of great help in the early contacts with highly qualified students.”
