On the occasion of Europe Month and the 2024 European Cluster Conference organized in Brussels, the partners of the European ACTT4Cosmetics project and the Go4Cosmetics interregional partnership met to set up their steering committees.
Go4Cosmetics: the platform which aims to generate new interactions between European players in the cosmetics industry .
Created in 2021, the European partnership Go4Cosmetics met in the offices of the Centre-Val de Loire region, where the Cosmetic Valley branch is present in Brussels, for its annual steering committee. The ecosystems of the Centre-Val de Loire region, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Lombardy and Sardinia (Italy), Centro (Portugal) and Lubelskie (Poland) took part in this meeting: the opportunity to discuss the various European collaborative projects for cosmetics-perfumery sector in Europe.
The partnership is delighted to count among its members a new French ecosystem: Brittany. Represented by the BioTech Santรฉ Bretagne competitiveness cluster, Brittany represents an important innovation ecosystem in marine cosmetics. The Go4Cosmetics partnership now has 11 regions under its belt.
ACTT4Cosmetics: the European program dedicated to innovation for the cosmetics industry
On May 6, the members of the consortium met to take stock of its first year. Stemming directly from GO4Cosmetics, the European ACTT4Cosmetics project aims to prove that the cosmetics industry is an innovation sector of international scope.
It sets up an action plan based on 3 general objectives responding to the major challenges of the industry:
- The deployment of innovation through digital transition in the cosmetics sector
- Strengthen the green transition in the cosmetics sector to mitigate climate change
- Raise awareness among consumers/citizens about the cosmetics industry.
