Agorize is the leading platform for online innovation challenges with its HQ in France. We have an amazing 80 people team (Hong Kong, Paris, Montreal, Stuttgart, Singapore) all sharing the same ambition: becoming THE missing link between large corporations and innovators around the world!
For 8 years, we have been helping 250+ companies such as AWS, Uber, Google, Microsoft, Paypal, Valeo, Bank of America to accelerate their innovation process and collaborate with our network of 5M+ innovators (ie. students, developers, startups and employees) across the globe. After successfully helping thousands of talents from over 145 countries, with the same mission of becoming the “missing link”, we started operations in Asia 2 years back. Asia turned out to be our fastest growing market and we have already gotten a remarkable pool of best-in-class clients who have put their trust in us to organize their first innovation challenges.
We are now building up our Hong-Kong team of talented, young & hungry individuals to help Agorize become a key player in Asia! We are looking to hire a Communication & Community Management intern who can join our APAC Communication & Community team. The vision is to build the largest community of innovators in Asia, by designing innovative marketing communications campaigns and by partnering with top universities & incubators throughout APAC.
