The MALAYSIAN ARCHITECTS EXPORTERS CLUB (MAEC) under the auspices of the PAM International Affairs Committee was inaugurated on 9th Feb 2006 with the aim of promoting the export of architectural services by members.

As we are all aware, trade in services is undergoing global metamorphosis that would eventually traverse national boundaries completely. Much as we like to remain protective, international pressures have been gaining momentum for total liberalization of trade for us to remain relevant and particularly as we are a signatory of GATS and member of the WTO.

The 10 basic tasks of the MAEC are:

1  Promoting the export of architectural services: design, project documentation and project management.
2  Listing of current exporters of architectural services.
3  Listing of aspiring exporters of architectural services.
4  Networking of exporters including with those in host countries.
5  Identifying target markets.
6  Compiling guidelines for exporters.
7  Listing of specialisations.
8  Listing of resources, governmental, technical and financial support.
9  Facilitating road shows and seminars ( including exhibitions, brain storming, exchanging experiences and other fact finding missions)
10  Travel log of architects.
