Citizen Diplomacy via Commercial Missions
Our Citizen Diplomacy via Commercial Missions represents a unique approach to strengthening international relations through business collaboration. As a certified partner with the United States Department of Commerce, we organize Certified Trade Missions that bring together U.S. business representatives, corporate leaders, and government officials to foster bilateral international business opportunities.
These missions serve as powerful instruments of citizen diplomacy, building bridges between nations through strategic commercial partnerships and cultural exchange. Our trade missions have successfully operated across multiple territories, including Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Gibraltar, Greece, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Portugal, Peru, Spain, and the United States.
By connecting governments and companies while promoting sustainable solutions to international challenges, these missions create lasting networks that transcend traditional diplomatic boundaries.
Responsible Leadership Global Summits
Our Global Summits have established ALF as a premier convening force for the world’s most influential leaders and visionaries. These internationally impactful events have consistently attracted heads of state, Nobel Prize laureates, and global thought leaders who shape our world’s future.
Most notably, President Barack Obama has been a featured participant in multiple ALF summits, including our Climate Change Leadership Summit in Porto, Portugal (2018), and our Circular Economy Summit in Madrid (2018).
Our summits have also welcomed distinguished Nobel Prize winners, including Economics laureates Eric Maskin (2007 Nobel Prize), Edmund Phelps (2006 Nobel Prize), and Finn Kydland (2004 Nobel Prize), alongside Physics Nobel laureate Barry Barish (2017 Nobel Prize).
These gatherings have featured prominent heads of state such as Iván Duque (President of Colombia), Pedro Sánchez (President of Spain), and Rosalía Arteaga (former President of Ecuador).
Through these high-level convocations, we create platforms for addressing humanity’s most pressing challenges—including climate change, technological innovation, circular economy, and sustainable development—fostering dialogue and collaboration among the world’s most influential decision-makers.
Contemporary leadership development requires sophisticated approaches to talent cultivation and continued education that address the exponential complexity of interconnected global challenges. Organizations demand leaders equipped with entirely new capabilities to navigate sustainability imperatives, technological disruption, and social transformation.
