Are you up for a challenge? A challenge to create a lasting impact on the world we live in? If you want to put your marketing skills into practice and be a part of this solution, then this internship might be the perfect fit for you!👇

🔥 About DeWarmte

More than 40% of the Heat demand of an average Dutch household can be supplied in a circular manner. Circular heating results in an average CO2 reduction of 1 ton each year, per household. With the current Dutch housing stock, circular heating has a national CO2 reduction potential of 8 Mtons (4 coal fired power plants)!

DeWarmte aims to reduce CO2 emissions caused by the built environment. We do this by recuperating heat from the sewage in the underfloor service space of the house. We believe that every technique with a significant CO2 reduction potential should be investigated. Not only by theory and experiments in the lab but also by assessing a viable business model and realising practical implementation. This is why we develop the HeatCycle. The HeatCycle is placed within the boundaries of the home to recuperate heat from the sewage.

📚 The Challenge

As intern market research you will investigate new markets both in the Netherlands and/or markets abroad. Your focus will be to asses which markets we can enter next with the HeatCycle. You will learn how to do systematic market research and your report will be the basis for choosing whether to enter or not to enter a specific market space. The exact content of the assignment will be shortlisted in consultation and your own input is welcome!

• Discover new markets for the HeatCycle;
• Research the size of the market and its key unique selling points;
