Humasol is founded to solve this “missing link”

• Broad theoretical knowledge

• Few practical opportunities

• Few international internship opportunities

• Looking for a credible good image in society (corporate social responsibility)

• Searching for highly motivated, entrepreneurial, talented people

2. Students

1. Local partner

3. Professionals

• Often lack of reliable energy supply

• Lack of technological knowledge

• Lack of funding
