Company Description

SYSTEMIQ is an organisation driving system change in clean energy, circular material solutions and sustainable land use. By addressing failures in these areas, SYSTEMIQ aims to unlock economic opportunities that benefit business, society and the environment.

We connect the right people, ideas, technologies, and capital to transform economic systems. We do this through five activities:

  1. Convene and support coalitions of leaders to shape policies and business strategies that will rapidly transform economic activity.
  2. Work with companies that want to be pioneers in and drivers of change towards more sustainable systems.
  3. Co-create and incubate the market solutions most likely to build regenerative economic systems.
  4. Invest our own venture capital and expertise in opportunities with the biggest potential to drive rapid system change.
  5. Direct larger pools of capital into regenerative economic systems, so that these scale and multiply.

In order to deliver in these areas, we recruit and develop distinctive and varied individuals who strive to achieve our mission, challenge the status quo and act as change leaders.

These internships offer a chance to work on highly strategic projects with exposure to high calibre scientific research and strategy consultancy work, focusing on developing world-leading solutions to drive system change.

We work with both global blue chip clients, public-private partnerships and ground-breaking new ventures.
