"Social-Business Ventures, and Artemisia itself, was the perfect combination to cover everything in my life, put together in one place. I'm a Business Administrator and my Masters degree was in Environment and Sustainable Development. I'm putting everything together in my internship at Adharam Energy; I'm helping, I'm contributing, and it's rewarding! ”
Gabriel Alba, Colombia, Adharam Energy in Madurai
“This internship is a perfect combination for me because I develop myself professionally, I work in my sphere, which is Finance, which I really love to work in. But at the same time, I am fulfilling my aspirations to make a positive impact on society, which is also really important for me. This internship gave me the opportunity to understand what I really want to do in my life, and that Social-Business Ventures is the field for me!"

“I discovered through Artemisia and my internship at Aurolab a whole new world in the sense that it combines challenges, real management, and real social impact with financial sustainability. It inspires me because it's not only business and corporate models that have the lead position for tomorrow, but it can also be SOCIAL Businesses taking that driving role." Quentin de Pret, Belgium, Aurolab in Madurai "My name is Nazly Frias, I'm originally from Colombia, and I was part of AIESEC for four years. When I finished my international MC term last year, I decided that I wanted to do a Development internship but in a different way. And that's where the Artemisia program came into the picture. I have the opportunity to work in Sustaintech, developing the marketing and distribution strategy for a company that is trying to change the paradigm that clean technology dissemination cannot be done through market mechanisms. It's something that's very exciting and will definitely be a milestone in my career." Nazly Frias, Colombia, Sustaintech in Bangalore"The Social-Business Ventures Program is an opportunity for us to find our own way of contributing to Social Business. My favorite session in the Social-Business Summit was with the founder of Inclusive Planet, because that was when I found how I could contribute, how I could be a part of Social Business development in the world. It doesn't matter what your background is, if you have nothing to do with business, just join, experience the program, and I'm sure you'll find your way to make a difference!."
