The INVA

The International Association Villes et Ports (AIVP) was established in 1988. Its seat is in Le Havre (Normandie). It brings together legal persons under public and private law, actors in the development of port cities, divided into three categories: port authorities; local authorities, private or public companies. It supports its members in the implementation of new strategies to enable them to better cope with the changes that affect the economic, social and environmental development of the port city.

The AIVP has 190 members in about 100 port cities in nearly 50 countries.

The Association’s activity is focused on three pillars:

• the organisation of the network and the services to members,
• the management of international projects and the exchange of experience,
• the organisation of events (presential and dining-up).

The AIVP team works on a daily basis in three official languages: French, English and Spanish.
