About AEM Austin
The US–MX Business Association (AEM) was established in 1996 by a group of Mexican entrepreneurs who envisioned a binational network to support Mexican businesspeople and professionals seeking success in the United States, and to assist American business leaders interested in doing business in Mexico.
For nearly three decades, AEM has expanded into a robust international organization with chapters across Mexico and multiple cities in the United States.
This page represents the Austin Chapter, a new and dynamic extension of this long-standing network, created to strengthen business connections, foster innovation, and support cross-border entrepreneurs in Central Texas.
Our Mission
To create business opportunities that drive progress and innovation by strengthening relationships and developing programs that guide binational businesspeople and young entrepreneurs to become global leaders.
Our Vision
To be the leading organization supporting Mexican entrepreneurship in Austin, creating a thriving ecosystem of successful businesses.
