Internship Business Development & International Market Research

At everox, we are working on scaling technology that turns waste concrete into circular building materials, reducing CO₂ emissions in one of the world's most polluting industries.

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

About everox

everox is a Dutch climate-tech company focused on upcycling waste concrete into low-carbon substitutes for cement, sand, and aggregates. Cement production accounts for ~8% of global CO₂ emissions, while billions of tons of concrete waste are generated every year.

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.

The internship

Over the past year, everox has 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 everox 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.
