Keeping up with the latest technologies and trends requires a dedicated search, find and review effort which can be time consuming and distracting from ongoing projects.  Identifying early innovation opportunities is difficult as access to startups, academics, incubators, and basic research labs requires building relationships beyond the traditional cosmetic industry venues.  Keeping your R&D pipeline full of innovative product concepts can be daunting. Often companies fall behind on their 5 year plan when some projects fail for a variety of reasons. One way to stay ahead in maintaining a healthy product pipeline is to have experts in the the field searching for new technologies and vendors which fit your brand.

CPD can provide companies with innovation scouting support to assist with identifying innovative technologies targeted to your portfolio requirements. The service involves a 6 or 12 month contract. Reports are filed and communicated monthly on the research findings.
