About Asia Internet Coalition
The Asia Internet Coalition (AIC) was established in 2010 as an industry association that promotes the understanding and resolution of Internet policy issues in the Asia Pacific region.
In 2019, our membership comprises leading internet and technology companies, namely Amazon, AirBnb, Apple, Booking.com, Expedia Group, Facebook, Grab, Google, LinkedIn, LINE, Rakuten, Twitter and Yahoo (Oath).
Our mission is to represent the internet industry and participate and promote stakeholder dialogue between the public and private sectors, sharing best practises and ideas on internet technology and the digital economy.
AIC also has a “Friends of AIC” scheme where other industry groups and independent Internet-based companies can partner with us as a growing industry voice in the digital economy of Asia Pacific.
