Internship: SMIL 2026
📍 Aarhus — based at The Kitchen, Universitetsbyen 14
⏱️ Minimum 3 months · Starting early 2026
SMIL is a startup festival - playful, high-energy, and something a little unpredictable. The festival is happening on May 28, 2026. It’s a celebration of the people and teams who dare to dream, build and grow - those who make Aarhus’ startup scene come alive.
We’re looking for creative interns who want to help us shape and share the SMIL experience - both online and on-site.
What you will be doing
You’ll join the Startup Aarhus team to make SMIL Startup Festival 2026 unforgettable. Depending on your skills and interests, your role might include:
- Creating content for social media - graphics, videos, interviews, and posts that capture the energy of SMIL and the people behind it
- Designing and building festival spaces that feel like SMIL - vibrant, welcoming, and just a little unexpected
- Helping bring in local heroes and Aarhus-based entrepreneurs to showcase and sell their products at the festival
- Contributing your own ideas and projects that fit the SMIL spirit - if you have something special to add, tell us!
We’re not looking for website creators. We’re looking for curious, creative, hands-on people who love to make things happen.
Who you are
- You’re a doer - you take initiative and learn by trying
- You’re creative - you like experimenting with visuals, stories, and concepts
- You’re not afraid to get your hands dirty - whether that’s filming, building, or brainstorming
- You’re curious about the startup world and how ideas become reality
What you’ll get
- A chance to work on one of Aarhus’ most exciting startup events.
- Support and sparring from the team - we’ll guide you, but also give you room to try things on your own.
- A culture where it’s okay to fail (we’ll catch you and help you try again).
- An inspiring environment surrounded by founders, creators, and community builders.
Location: Startup Aarhus HQ in Aarhus, Denmark. We are not looking for remote workers.
If you want to be part of SMIL 2026 - whether through content, design, or something completely different. We’d love to hear from you.
