As part of Cosmetic 360 Week, Canadian Cosmetic Cluster, in partnership with Cosmetic Valley, is organizing a symposium on the issues and challenges of sustainable development in the cosmetics industry in Bordeaux on October 20, 2023.

The cosmetics industry is under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices. Although it is not late, companies in the sector still face many obstacles.

Come:

• Share your challenges!

• Find solutions !

• Share your experience!

The symposium will explore the different solutions to overcome these obstacles. It will bring together Canadian and French companies and experts (in particular) to discuss the issues and share technological solutions adapted to all links in the value chain.

The symposium will be organized around round tables that will allow participants to interact with experts and discuss their own experiences and challenges.

On July 7, 2023, COSMETIC VALLEY and the City of Chartres received the main founders of Beautéville, China's beauty hub, on the occasion of the signing of a declaration which consolidates the draft partnership agreement already signed in 2018 .

This tripartite partnership agreement (City of Chartres, COSMETIC VALLEY and BEAUTÉVILLE) facilitates cooperation between local players in the sector. It also involves helping young innovative companies in their commercial deployment in China – the main export market – and promoting France, and more particularly Chartres, as an essential territory for cosmetics.

COSMETIC VALLEY signs here a new chapter of transnational cooperation and continues its commitment to take the cosmetics industry to new heights of innovation, excellence and export success, after a health crisis which has considerably impacted the economic model and which represented a major obstacle to the implementation of this partnership with Beautéville.

This new visit testifies to China's interest in COSMETIC VALLEY, which carries the voice of the cosmetics industry on a global scale. It is a real accelerator for French SMEs and start-ups, renowned for its formidable network dynamics promoting the innovation of Made in France cosmetic products.

COSMETIC VALLEY received the South Korean Minister for SMEs and Startups, this Monday, June 19 in Chartres.

After signing key partnerships with several major players in South Korea such as the City of Seoul and Jeju Technopark, COSMETIC VALLEY had the honor of receiving Minister Young Lee in order to promote exchanges between SMEs and build collaborations in connection with the South Korean government which describes our competitiveness cluster as "?é?é????? ???????? ?? ????è?? ?'é??????è?? ?'?????????? ?? ?'?????? ?????????????? ??? ???".

The Minister visited the BEAUTY HUB in Chartres, a place where French cosmetic start-ups are accelerating, where she was able to discover the innovations of young shoots supported by the cluster, particularly in their export development.

This official South Korean visit is not the last of the year, since new personalities are expected in October 2023 at the COSMETIC 360 trade show.

With Elian Lati from BIO-EC, Jean-Pierre Gorges & Didier Garnier from Chartres Métropole, Guillaume Kasbarian, Eure-et-Loir MP, Florent Yvergnaux, from Solabia Group, Martin Ferré from ISIPCA, Pierre Garçon from Ecomundo, Lorena Cabrera from Business France, Christophe Masson and Franckie Béchereau from COSMETIC VALLEY.
