Business Development Internship in Bali.
Build commercial experience in an international environment.

Business students who stay in the Netherlands do their internship semester inside Dutch companies with familiar structures. The ones who go to Bali end up in founder-led teams, international partnerships, and commercial environments that look genuinely different on a CV. You need to do this semester anyway — the question is where.

You apply to the track, not to a job ad. We match you to the role that fits your degree and how you work. Here are the five it could be.

Business Development Intern

Market and competitor analysis, partnership proposals, outreach campaigns, and the CRM behind the commercial pipeline. You prepare the presentations and pitches, and you sit in the meetings where they land.
