Jacob Bossaer
Jacob holds two Master's degrees in industrial and chemical engineering from Ghent University (KAHO and UGent) and worked as a water expedition engineer at the Belgian government's Princess Elisabeth Antarctica station, where he developed a system to recycle water using only renewable energy. He co-founded BOSAQ in 2017 with Pieter Derboven with the goal of providing the world with clean, safe drinking water in a decentralised way.
