TenneT

You:

• Are currently enrolled in an WO program in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, Innovation Management, Energy/Industrial Policy, Public Administration, or a related field and are available for an internship starting from 1.7.2026
• You enjoy structuring complex information into clear frameworks and decision tools.
• You can work independently, write clearly, and communicate with stakeholders.
• Are curious, eager to learn, and proactively seek contact when needed

During your internship, you will contribute to a sustainable energy future. As an intern, you will support the team with:

Mapping the financial ecosystem for offshore innovation around TenneT on:

• National level (Netherlands)
• European level (EU funding and innovation programs)

Your work will result in a decision‑ready overview that helps TenneT quickly answer:

• Which subsidy programs exist that we can use for offshore innovations?
• Which innovation topics does each program fit (e.g., robotics, automation, digitalisation, remote operations, asset tech, safety, sustainability)?
• What are the key conditions (eligibility, TRL, co‑funding, budget ranges, reporting, etc.)?
• What does the annual calendar look like (typical call windows and lead time)?
• What type of consortium is needed per scheme (and what role can TenneT play)?

What you will do

You will combine desk research with stakeholder input and produce practical outputs:

• Identify and describe relevant subsidy programs (NL + EU) for offshore innovation use-cases.
• Translate programs into a “topic fit” map (robotics, automation, tech, data/AI, safety, sustainability, etc.).
• Capture application conditions in a comparable, structured way (criteria, documentation, timelines, success factors).
• Create a one‑page annual calendar overview of key schemes and expected call timing.
• Define consortium “archetypes” per scheme (who must be involved: SMEs/startups, OEMs, universities, TSOs, etc.; and TenneT’s typical role: partner, end‑user, demonstration site, work package lead, etc.).
