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
