What could be more natural for the Guyanese branch than to ensure a presence at the Cosmetic 360 show, in the Overseas pavilion, to promote its cosmetopeia – Aquilaria, Rosewood, palm trees, wasai, etc. – and its supported companies by Business France.
« Our actions are focused on structuring the cosmetics sector with local farmers and of course promoting the forest cosmetopeia of the French Amazon » explain Alysson Marigard. « We have set up coaching and acceleration programs with local experts to allow Start-ups to pitch to national players “. With around thirty start-ups, the Guyana Cosmetic Valley is also an ecosystem of players, including a bio-inspired engineering center in Guyana, the University of Guyana, BPIFrance, “ to support our start-ups with financial culture » and local experts, who “ help to highlight local intelligence ».
« Thanks to the preservation of Amazonian biodiversity, our raw materials are concentrated and pure, our fruits are super foods. We can position ourselves both in the cosmetics sector but also in the food sector, the nutraceutical sector, perfumery, etc. There are really several sectors in which Guyana can position itself and stand out on the national and international scene. », assure Alysson Marigard.
