As a young and small biodiversity-tech company, welcoming InTent interns last summer genuinely boosted our team’s pace and impact. The interns brought extra hands, and fresh thinking across engineering, biology and business. What really stood out was their independence and dedication. They were hard-working, thoughtful, and a real pleasure to work with, contributing ideas and momentum. For a small team, this really shifted the pace for DNAir.

I developed strong skills in event coordination, stakeholder engagement, and cross-sector collaboration through supporting a high-level business summit hosted by a leading global conservation organisation. I gained practical insight into how the private sector can partner with international institutions to advance sustainability and nature-positive goals.
