Non EU going to a EU target looking for advice on how to get my foot in the industry.

Ive been applying to S&T internships for the past 3 weeks and havent heard of anything. I come from an engineering background with a 6 months work exp at a startup. Previously I was thinking that I would seem like a pretty good candidate for S&T but i guess not having any previous experience is being quite a hurdle.

Just looking for advice on how to break into the industry, because I am also finding it hard to find small firms to apply to.
