Stage Internship - Business Development & Export Strategy F-M

We have chosen to make our expertise in river systems a lever for protecting infrastructures, communities, and ecosystems.

How? By developing a real-time river monitoring and measurement solution.
We provide services that support flood prevention, water resource management, and the calibration and validation of satellite data.

We are convinced that a better understanding of how rivers evolve is one of the keys to adapting to climate change.
That’s why we turn hydrological data into actionable insights to strengthen the resilience of all stakeholders impacted.

We are now seeking to expand our presence in public markets and to develop a new product aimed at the private sector.
