Intern - Agrifood

Intern Sector Agrifood – start date mid-August or 1 September 2026

At Invest International, we invest in Dutch agrifood companies that contribute to a more sustainable and resilient global food system. Through our financing and sector expertise, we help accelerate the transition to more responsible, future‑proof ways of producing food. Areas such as Agrifood Technology, Controlled Environment Agriculture and Alternative Proteins are examples of fields in which Dutch companies are globally recognised and can play an important role in making sustainable food production accessible to a growing world population.

The agriculture and food sectors also create employment and economic opportunities in developing countries, contributing to stronger local economies and improved livelihoods. With the financing instruments of Invest International, Dutch innovation and technology can reach international markets and support sustainable development on a global scale.

We support companies whose investments strengthen both global food system resilience and the long‑term earning capacity of the Netherlands.

To help deliver our Agrifood strategy, we are looking for an ambitious intern who wants to gain hands‑on experience at the intersection of agrifood, strategy and international finance, while contributing to work that matters for current and future generations.
