Enterprise Ireland was pleased to host the Cosmetics Innovation Forum, in collaboration with the Centre for Applied Bioscience Research (CABR), bringing together over 60 Irish cosmetics companies from across skincare, colour cosmetics and hair care.     The forum highlighted the strength and continued growth of Ireland’s cosmetics industry, bringing together industry leaders, researchers, buyers and investors to explore the key drivers of success across the full value chain, from ingredient innovation and formulation, through to R&D, regulatory compliance, intellectual property, branding, investment and international retail readiness.     The event also reinforced the importance of collaboration between enterprise and research, with Technology Gateways such as CABR playing a key role in enabling Irish companies to access world-class expertise and accelerate innovation.     Thank you to all of our expert speakers and panelists for sharing their insights and experience. Thank you also to CABR for their collaboration in coordinating this forum, and for their continued role in strengthening applied research, commercialisation and innovation across Ireland’s cosmetics and wider consumer sectors.
