Innovation comes through collaboration!
The COSMETIC 360 Innovation Challenges are at the heart of the collaborative dynamics that shape innovation in the perfume and cosmetics industry. The 2026 edition offers a new opportunity to connect emerging solutions with concrete industrial needs. 🚀
Open to startups, SMEs, research laboratories and technology providers , these challenges provide a privileged framework for confronting innovative projects with market expectations and demonstrating their value alongside major players in the sector.
The selected projects will benefit from qualified meetings with technical experts from leading companies, organised during COSMETIC 360. The show will bring together Estée Lauder, L'Oréal, LVMH Research, Proya and Technature.
🎯 Three main themes will structure this 2026 edition, covering a wide range of topics:
🤖 Digital transformation of the sector
At the heart of digital transformations: AI, data, digital twins, blockchain… but also any digital innovation applied to R&D, production or customer experience.
🌱 Ecological transition
For a more sustainable industry: eco-design, decarbonization, biosourcing, upcycling, life cycle analysis… as well as any approach reducing environmental impact.
🔬 Performance and cosmetic personalization
Towards more effective and adapted products: understanding product-support interactions, diagnostic tools, improving sensory experience… and all technology at the service of personalization.
