Internship Business Development & International Market Research

Help us build the future of circular concrete.

At everox, we are transforming waste concrete into high-value circular building materials. Our ambition is to reduce CO₂ emissions in one of the world's most polluting industries.

As we scale internationally, we are building joint ventures with the right local partners across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Picking the right partners, and reaching them with the right pitch, is what makes that scale-up possible.

This internship is most suitable for a 4th-year HBO or WO student looking for a graduation or end-of-study internship.

About the internship

Over the past year, we have profiled and prioritised 20 target markets for international expansion. The next step is to identify the right local partners in each market (companies in construction, demolition, recycling, and concrete production that fit our Joint Venture profile) and prepare the ground for outreach.

During this internship, you will build the 'everox International Partner Scoring Tracker': a single, consolidated, decision-ready view of who we should approach first, in which market, and why. These partners could potentially support us in scaling through future joint ventures or strategic collaborations. Most of the work will involve structured desk research, company analysis, data structuring, and preparing commercially useful insights for the BD team.

Key internship question: Across our priority markets, who are the strongest local Joint Venture candidates for everox, and how should we approach them?
