AIM exists to enable its Members, primarily representing the private sector, to act directly and effectively on the major economic, social and humanitarian challenges of human mobility.

AIM’s vision is an open, efficient, fair and sustainable system of human mobility worldwide. It has three principal missions:

• To advance its vision of human mobility through meaningful advocacy worldwide.
• To serve as a meeting place for support groups engaged with foreign communities and through them to identify the unmet needs of mobile populations.
• To help create profitable, mobility-based enterprises, especially through use of information technologies.

Among its immediate objectives, AIM intends to:

• Publish the first International Labour Mobility Index to identify areas for progress by governments in enhancing mobility.
• Set up the first internet-based Overseas Workers Service Platform through a pilot project for foreign workers in Spain, the precursor of a broader Mediterranean effort.
• Develop a pilot financial services programme for foreign workers in Russia.
• Sponsor a conference on international mobility in the global economic crisis.

AIM operates as a non-profit association under by-laws approved by the Swiss government. Its members are corporations and associations with strategic interests in human mobility as well as distinguished international experts in the field. Every continent is represented in AIM’s current membership.
