History:

AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS IN EUROPE was founded in London in October 1975 to provide a forum for Australians working in Europe and for European business people associated with Australian industry and commerce. The founding members believed that there was a need for an organisation that would enable these people to meet regularly, to get to know each other and to discuss topics of mutual interest. Today, ABIE has an international membership of about 800 drawn from mostly Australian companies with business interests in Europe and from a wide range of European companies with reciprocal interest in Australia. Banking, insurance, finance, manufacturing and service industries are well represented, as are smaller enterprises.
