Cosmetic Valley opens the “Territories & Industry” event in Orléans

Christophe Masson, Managing Director of COSMETIC VALLEY, opened the “Territories & Industry” event on Tuesday, organized by Usine Nouvelle and La Gazette des Communes in Orléans, alongside Serge Grouard, Mayor of Orléans and President of Orléans Métropole, on the theme:

“The role of clusters and competitiveness poles in territorial performance”

What are the key points?

• Cosmetic Valley, a global reference: Created more than 30 years ago by industrialists, the association has become the world's leading cosmetic cluster. Today, it brings together 6,300 establishments and 226,000 jobs, with a major impact on our country's economy.
• A sector and ecosystem approach: The success of Cosmetic Valley is based on a collaborative vision, which links industry, research, training and public authorities, to stimulate innovation and employment on a local, national and international scale.
• The challenges of reindustrialization: In a complex and uncertain context, Cosmetic Valley is implementing an ambitious roadmap promoting synergies between public and private actors, to create a positive and sustainable dynamic.
• A unique and inspiring model: The alliance between territorial anchoring and international openness makes Cosmetic Valley successful. From Chartres to Shanghai, from Orléans to Brussels, we start from the territories to strengthen the attractiveness and export of our sector throughout the world.

A message for the future: in a demanding context, let us not oppose the France of the territories to that of globalization. Let us unite public and private forces, in confidence. Let us free energies!
