Serious International Connective Tissue
Liverpool International is an independent, commercially-focused organisation that connects people worldwide who have a genuine connection to the city of Liverpool.
Our Mission
Liverpool International exists to connect, support, and mobilise people around the world who have a genuine connection to the city of Liverpool, strengthening economic, cultural, professional, and civic ties for the long-term benefit of Liverpool and its global community.
We are not a social club, alumni group, or nostalgia network. We are serious international connective tissue that links people who carry Liverpool with them into positions of influence, leadership, trade, culture, education, and innovation worldwide.
Strategic Positioning
Liverpool International sits between civic diplomacy, professional network, and soft power platform. We complement existing city institutions without competing with them.
Our Core Principles
These principles guide everything we do at Liverpool International.
Authenticity Over Geography
Someone in Singapore with a deep Liverpool connection is more valuable than a casual local with none. Real connections matter.
Restraint as Strength
We are selective, not exclusive. Our restraint in membership standards builds credibility and value.
Credibility Through Completeness
Every element of Liverpool International is built to professional standards: governance, operations, communications.
Commercial Purpose
Not-for-profit does not mean non-commercial. We create tangible economic and professional value for members.
Clarity of Purpose
Understanding what Liverpool International is, and what it is not, is essential to our identity.
