A common desire to structure and energize the regional cosmetics sector
Led since 2013 by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Development and Innovation Agency/ADI, with
support from the Region and in partnership with CCI International, the cosmetics sector of Nouvelle
Aquitaine joined the Cosmetic Valley dynamic in 2015 and forged a partnership that has
concretized by the organization of a first congress on circular eco-extraction in Limoges in January
2017.
A year later, the opening of a Cosmetic Valley office in New Aquitaine illustrates the desire
shared by all the actors to structure the regional sector, to make visible the excellence
cosmetics and the attractiveness of the territory and to support SMEs and VSEs in their efforts
of innovation and their export strategy at a time when the international environment is becoming increasingly

regional cosmetics sector through the co-financing of the office and individual actions and
associations of regional SMEs.
