Thinking of the future.
Hummano sponsors investments and knowledge that highlight new paths for humanity. We celebrate and encourage global initiatives that create new economic solutions and opportunities for people.
THE FOUNDERS
Hummano is a dynamic spin-off born from the collective expertise and vision of the founding members, which includes Meersohn Marstrand, a family office; Inova, an industrial innovation network firm; BrasilInvest, a leading merchant bank; Meer, a media and hospitality group, and Forum Das Americas, a think tank for international cooperation.
We are an outcome-driven group of experienced individuals and leading enterprises from around the world who have collaborated for decades. Our partnership is focused on creating global solutions to address the challenges facing humanity and showcase a new path through the adoption of green solutions, improved business practices, and new technologies. By involving leading firms across industries, we are creating a network that can produce significant change and create a better future.
In the 2000s, our efforts in the technology and smart city space began with our involvement in the COP-15 in Copenhagen, where on behalf of the Brazilian government we sold $400 million worth of carbon credit. During COP-15 we also launched the Bright Green Book 1, 100 ESG cases that could have been the blueprint to solve all global issues, a showcase of the most advanced technologies, practices, and enterprises.
The most remarkable project throughout the years was the PPP of Carmo do Cajuru, a small city of 24.000 residents in Brazil. The city is a remarkable public-private partnership (PPP) that started in 2018, evolving into one of the world's most celebrated models for smart city PPPs, even recognized by the United Nations. Its merit lies in being the only smart city to achieve five Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): clean and affordable energy, decent work and economic growth, industry, innovation and infrastructure, and sustainable cities and communities.
