Founded in 2014, we assist companies and individuals developing a better understanding of the business cultures in Australia and Latin America. We aim to promote meaningful relationships that facilitate bilateral professional and economic growth.
With over 500 Latin American and Australian members, ALAYP facilitates effective connections between professionals and entrepreneurs from a wide range of industries including mining, academic research, oil and gas, legal, lean manufacturing, education, and government sectors, amongst others.
This, combined with strong relations with Latin American and Australian government representatives, positions ALAYP as a strong advocate and facilitator for the Latin American professional community in Australia.
