Project management support
Supervision
The implementation of new regulations, technological developments, the emergence of new markets and changes in consumer behaviour have lead industrials to require more and more pertinent information in order to hone their strategy.
Cosmetic Valley will support you through its dedicated supervision service.
Intellectual property rights
It is essential to consider the intellectual property management of each project. The cluster can advise you and direct you to experts who can solve your problems.

Public co-financing
Named projects may be liable for public co-funding.
Funding attributed to companies can amount to between 25 and 50% of the total project budget depending on the size of the company. Public partners (research laboratories) are usually able to fully finance their marginal costs.
Funds may be raised from :
-
local aid : a contribution from the local authority as part of their innovation support programme
national aid : Unique Inter ministerial Funds (FUI, Ministry of Industry), National Research Agency (ANR, Ministry of Research), OSEO Innovation, etc.
European aid : European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development (FPRDT), Eurostars etc.
international aid : reciprocal funding programmes where entities in different countries are working on the same collaborative project (ex. France-Brazil, France- Canada, France-Russia, etc.)
