This year, COSMETIC VALLEY & COSMETIC 360 are organizing the Innovation Challenges with the leading names in the international industry.

 

 

 

The concept is easy :

 

Whether you're an innovative project owner with no formal structure, a start-up, VSE, SME, ETI or research laboratory... this service enables you to present your technical and technological innovations, at different levels of maturity, in response to the various challenges on offer.

 

1- Login or create your account on the www.idcosm.com platform

2- Create your project, describing the solution you propose to meet the challenge you wish to target

3- Submit your project for the challenge you're targeting (several challenges are open, so you can submit different projects to meet them).

 

Several challenges are open, so you can propose different projects to meet them!

• From September 15, 2024, you will be informed on the submission platform (as well as by email) whether or not you have been nominated to take part in pitches to present your solution to the teams of the company that proposed the challenge.

• Coaching to help you prepare for the pitch will also be offered.

• On October 16 or 17, you'll be invited to pitch your solution in front of the company interested in your solution, in a closed session.
