Who we are
ProFound is an international consultancy company. From its beginnings as a pioneer in natural ingredients trade promotion in 1990, ProFound has grown into a team of experts in developing sustainable value chains for agro-biodiverse products and natural ingredients .
ProFound assists entrepreneurs in emerging markets. We help to capture economic opportunities from production to market entry. We aim for local development that lasts: adding value for producers and sustaining local biodiversity.

ProFound internship activities
To assist our work, ProFound is looking for an intern that is interested in learning more about and contribute towards international trade, development, and sustainability.
