SPECIAL INITIATIVE 2026

COSMO YOUNG

Cosmo Young is a special initiative dedicated to start-ups, offering visibility, tools and services to support new entrepreneurs and emerging companies wishing to enter the world of pharmacy.

Being among the protagonists of Cosmo Young also means applying for the award established by LPV EMPOWERMENT SERVICES, a company specialising in human resources development. LPV will offer the most deserving company a scholarship, which will allow it to take advantage of a free growth and individual support programme, in order to design and implement its own action plan, defining a unique and personalised model for the company.

In 2026, all the companies selected will be nominated for an award, a “SCHOLARSHIP”, which will be awarded by a jury of experts during the Innovation & Research Awards ceremony.

“Participating in CosmofarmaYoung 2023 was an extraordinary experience for me and the entire team. We drew inspiration from innovative brands in the sector, created a valuable network of friends and new customers, and demonstrated with our victory that we are a serious player. Ekis’ Impresa Compiuta master’s program, in particular, helped us to become more robust in certain organizational aspects and provided us with original ideas to further distinguish ourselves in the world of skincare, an extremely fascinating but equally competitive market. This adventure has propelled us to become official exhibitors for the 2024 edition of Cosmofarma.”
