Partner search

You have a project and want to develop it collaboratively. To do this, you need to identify partners with complementary expertise to overcome technical obstacles.

The Key Steps:

• Create your IDCosm.com account
  
  
• Create a project and check the box "I would like to be connected with experts to develop my project (academic or industrial)"
  
  
• COSMETIC VALLEY edit an anonymous project sheet, based on the answers given in the form
  
  
• Validation of the project form by the project holder
  
  
• The form is then sent to the COSMETIC VALLEY network in a targeted manner, according to the expertise sought, in order to identify potential partners who can help remove technical obstacles
  
  
• Contact with potential partners
  
  
• Support from COSMETIC VALLEY in setting up the project, seeking funding and promoting the project (cluster labeling)
