AIVP Governance

AIVP’s governance structure reflects the diversity of its global network: local governments, port authorities, and professionals working together to improve city-port relations on an international scale. Learn more about the association’s executive committee and board of directors.

AIVP, a 1901 NGO

AIVP is a nongovernmental association governed by the French law of July 1, 1901. Its purpose is to foster exchanges among cities, ports, and their institutional and economic partners, and to promote the sustainable development of port cities and ports.

AIVP serves as an international think tank, a platform for exchanging information and building connections, and a resource center for city-port expertise.
