The Cosmoprof International network, through Cosmoprof Asia is set to redefine the industry landscape with the landmark launch of Cosmoprof Connect Dubai, a strategic business matchmaking event scheduled for April 14-15, 2026. This major expansion marks a new chapter for Cosmoprof Asia Ltd, a joint venture between BolognaFiere and Informa Markets, further cementing the Cosmoprof brand as the global catalyst for beauty industry innovation and partnership.
Why Dubai?
The new Cosmoprof Connect Dubai will be held at the heart of the beauty market in the Middle East. Designed to facilitate one-on-one business meetings between top-tier Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia buyers and global beauty brands, the business-first format of the event promises a curated, high-impact networking experience for companies eager to expand into the MENA markets – one of the industry’s fastest-growing segments and projected to hit US$60 billion by 2026.
Enrico Zannini, General Manager of BolognaFiere Cosmoprof reveals, “With Cosmoprof Connect Dubai, we are unlocking an entire region’s potential for the beauty industry community. It is a bold step forward that connects East and West in unprecedented ways.”
The new event is a strategic boost for Cosmoprof Asia. Hong Kong and Dubai are economic powerhouses offering unrivalled gateways to the most dynamic regions in the world. For Hong Kong businesses exhibiting at Cosmoprof Asia, the Dubai event opens up transformative cross-regional growth opportunities, in a city ranked among the top five global business hubs.Ingredients & Fragrance Take Centre Stage at Cosmoprof Asia
Two major new initiatives: Beauty Ingredients & Formulation Asia (BIFA), a conference-led event and Fragrance Exhibit Zone, Fragrance Avenue. BIFA, launching 11–12 November 2025 will be co-located with Cosmopack Asia, will be a first-of-its-kind scientific conference and expo co-hosted with the Hong Kong Society of Cosmetic Chemists (HKSCC) and the China Society of Cosmetic Chemists (China SCC) and supported by the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC).
Fragrance Avenue will be a dedicated zone spotlighting the booming fragrance market, offering immersive product experiences and exclusive networking opportunities. This area will also feature a section dedicated to niche fragrances, enhanced by the expertise of Esxence, the internationally renowned event for artistic perfumery.
