The organizers of the leading global B2B beauty event brought together more than 170 industry professionals — including companies, buyers, media representatives, and Italian, Turkish, and international stakeholders — at a networking event held in Istanbul on Thursday, May 7, alongside the BeautyIstanbul trade fair.
Guests enjoyed an exclusive cruise along the Bosphorus, featuring opera performances and a culinary experience celebrating Italian cuisine. Conceived as a unique networking opportunity for the beauty community within the Cosmoprof network, as well as for newly participating companies, the initiative encouraged dialogue among professionals from different markets while fostering new connections, exchanges, and opportunities for international collaboration.
Promoted by BolognaFiere Cosmoprof in collaboration with ITA – Italian Trade Agency (Agenzia ICE) to support Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna and its global network, the initiative forms part of a broader calendar of activities, with additional events planned in the coming months to foster business development and further strengthen the global cosmetics industry.
“Our collaboration with ITA has been a cornerstone in the promotion and success of Cosmoprof-branded events for many years,” stated Enrico Zannini, General Manager of BolognaFiere Cosmoprof. “For 60 years, our exhibition has served as the ideal partner for companies, buyers, and operators in the cosmetics industry from all over the world. Thanks to the expertise of our team and our constant attention to the evolution of the beauty sector, Cosmoprof is a globally recognized brand for its ability to interpret the international landscape and adapt to the specific needs of different markets. The initiatives carried out in collaboration with ITA allow us to strengthen our community and foster the development of new business opportunities.”
