Cosmoprof launches its first podcast dedicated to innovation in the Beauty Industry

COSMOFACTORY, FROM IDEAS TO INNOVATION.

THE NEW PODCAST DEDICATED TO THE BEAUTY INNOVATION OF COSMOPROF WORLDWIDE BOLOGNA 

Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, the leading b2b event for the cosmetics industry, is launching its first podcast series, CosmoFactory – From Ideas to Innovation. The project, created in collaboration with Deanna Utroske, an expert in the beauty industry supply chain, aims to highlight the evolution of the sector by involving key players from around the world and sharing experiences and initiatives that are revolutionizing the sector.

The podcast «CosmoFactory – From Ideas to Innovation» traces its origins back to the inception of CosmoFactory in 2013, originally conceived as a project to represent specific steps of the supply chain processes with dedicated setups on the show floor. Over the years, the initiative has showcased to attendees at Cosmoprof Worldwide the production processes of iconic cosmetic products, such as lipstick, perfume, bb-cream and powder, spotlighting the high level of technology integrated throughout the supply chain. Thanks to the new project, CosmoFactory evolves from a «product factory» to an «ideas factory,» showcasing the most extraordinary innovations that are transforming the industry.

The cosmetics industry plays a pivotal role in the research and development of new solutions, technologies, and sustainable strategies. As organizers of Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, the leading b2b event for international stakeholders in the sector, it is our duty to give voice to the most disruptive novelties and experiences which are transforming the sector day by day,” says Enrico Zannini, General Manager of BolognaFiere Cosmoprof. “With the CosmoFactory Podcast we hope to create a common platform for our community where they can share motivating case-histories, discover what’s new in beauty, and get inspired.

Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna is the cornerstone event of our industry. And the launch of the CosmoFactory podcast brings inspiring innovations, business leadership insights, and supplier discovery opportunities off the show floor and into your work week,” says CosmoFactory host Deanna Utroske.Being invited to collaborate on the development of the CosmoFactory podcast and having the privilege of interviewing leading beauty industry experts for a new episode every week is a true honor.
