Special mention goes to the jury of international professionals who represented the industry and actively participated in the search for new products and innovative solutions: Founders, CEOs, Presidents, Brand Directors, Senior Buyers, Editors-in-Chief, Innovation Executives, Scientific Directors, and Prospective Leads representing all the sectors that voted for all the categories in the contest and selected the winners.

The LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD – an honor that Cosmoprof assigns to entrepreneurs and professionals whose talent and endurance have significantly contributed to the advancement of the industry – was also announced at the gala. The award for the 2023 edition went to Nazih Hamad, Founder & CEO of Nazih Group, a leader in the distribution of products for the professional channel, furnishings and services for parlors, beauty centers and spas.

An absolute novelty for the 2023 edition was the trophy for the Cosmoprof and Cosmopack Awards, designed in collaboration with Istituto Marangoni, thanks to a contest involving the most creative students from the International School of Design. The trophy assigned to the winners (Fluere) was 3D printed and customized for each of the exhibitions in the Cosmoprof network. Designed by Aliya Karagayeva from Kazakhstan, Fluere represents the beauty industry as it flows through the ages, highlighting the sector's resilience and ability to adapt to social and economic change: a designer piece with a strong identity that echoes the strong identity of the Cosmoprof network.

Thanks to the participation of distributors, brand owners, and buyers representing the leading global chains, not to mention journalists from the primary international papers and content creators, the evening brought together over 1,000 top players in the industry on a global scale. The invitation-only event was an extraordinary networking opportunity, a unique moment for finding new contacts, fostering synergy, and laying the foundations for future collaboration.
