Take this opportunity to work in the intersection of business and diplomacy to help Swedish companies reach their full international potential!
Business Sweden works with leading multinational companies and start-ups across all industries, and our clients’ business is often driven by digitalization, innovation, and sustainability. Our consultancy services include e.g., market entry & growth strategies including M&A, sales acceleration, tech scouting as well as Public Affairs support. We help Swedish companies enter new markets, understand market dynamics, identify local partners, appreciate the regulatory landscape, and build out their services or product offering.

Our Milan office is responsible for Italy, Greece, Cyprus and Malta.
The role includes both strategic, tactic and operational responsibilities such as:
- Collecting, analysing, and presenting information and insights, which you will get from interactions with external stakeholders on the market.
- Supporting senior colleagues in sales dialogues, by insight-driven development of new business opportunities as well as prospecting.
- Preparing and arranging trade delegations, round table discussions and B2B meetings for Swedish companies.
- Support in our collaboration with the Swedish Embassies in the countries we operate in, to provide support and business promotion platforms for Swedish companies.
- We expect that you enjoy driving own initiatives as well as team work as the role comes with a high degree of freedom and responsibility.
The role is based in Milan, but you will be expected to work with our teams and clients around the world, as required.
The role is a fixed-term internship with a duration of five to six months, depending on the candidate’s availability. The role is intended to be filled as soon as possible.
