About AME International

The Alliance for Muslim Entrepreneurs International — a global network connecting entrepreneurs, leaders and institutions to create shared economic impact.

Our story

Founded to connect entrepreneurs across borders

AME International was created to solve a simple problem: talented entrepreneurs everywhere lacked access to the networks, mentorship and opportunities enjoyed by a privileged few.

What began as a small circle of founders sharing connections has grown into a global alliance spanning dozens of countries — uniting startups, SMEs, investors, corporate leaders and business associations under one mission: to empower members to build sustainable businesses and create lasting economic impact.
