Greeting from Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna! This was my first time to attend this kind of press conference and it's very informative. The Italian Trade Agency (ITA) in collaboration with Bologna Fiere and Cosmetica Italia, with the support of Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) will be organising Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna Presentation held for the first time in Kuala Lumpur. I'm glad I was invited to attend this conference because it gave me a lot of insight about Cosmoprof and Malaysian beauty industry.
This presentation is held prelude to the world's biggest international trade show for the beauty industry - Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna 2018. It been an overwhelming and positive response as they have more than 80 participants from the beauty industry, such as skincare, haircare, perfumery, cosmetics, spa, nails, raw materials including packaging.
The presentation is valuable for the beauty industry, professionals and trade businesses to promote the export and import of cosmetics and beauty products. It provides an analysis of the characteristics and changes in both distribution channels and consumer needs, giving business wanting to expand to the European market and worldwide, as well as building a better understanding of the international market. If you're in this industry, I will strongly suggest you to attend this for your better company's future.
