Introductory offers for first-time exhibitors and start-ups

CosmeticBusiness, the international supplier event for the cosmetics industry and leading trade fair for German beauty – from ingredients to packaging – offers suppliers unique opportunities to establish contacts with cosmetics manufacturers and brands in German-speaking countries and thus in Europe's largest cosmetics market. This is an ideal opportunity for first-time exhibitors and start-ups to expand their network at CosmeticBusiness 2026 and increase their visibility. There are still a few spaces available in the special areas for newcomers.

Innovation Corner: the hotspot for start-ups

Start-ups from the cosmetics supply industry are drivers of innovation in the sector, breaking new ground and presenting new solutions, which is why CosmeticBusiness supports young companies with a particularly attractive exhibitor offer. The all-inclusive offer in the start-up area includes a ready-to-use complete stand with back wall and presentation counter, the basic marketing package, exclusive start-up labelling for filtering in the online exhibitor directory and, if desired, a 20-minute speaking slot in the programme.

Embedded in the Innovation Corner in Hall 4, the area enjoys special attention. In the immediate vicinity is the large stage and the SPOTLIGHT novelty show, where visitors can find out about exhibitors' new products and innovations. The offer is valid for companies that have been on the market for no longer than five years.

First-timer joint stand offers visibility for first-time exhibitors

Not a start-up? No problem: companies that are not yet well established in the cosmetics supply industry can secure space on the First-Timer joint stand for a reasonable budget. This allows them to test the waters in the industry and make initial contacts with the cosmetics industry. The special area is centrally located in the heart of the exhibition in Hall 3.

The offer includes a space at the First-Timer joint stand (including back wall, bar table and bar stools) as well as the basic marketing package (entry in the exhibitor directory, product presentation in the product directory, Scan2Lead for easy recording of trade fair contacts, free advertising material and customer invitations).

Increase visibility and save money by registering by 31 January 2026

All interested companies are advised to register as exhibitors by the end of January 2026 to benefit from the following advantages:

- save on registration fees,

- don't miss out on organisational information and offers

- early communication about the exhibitor directory, which plays a central role in supplier searches and visit preparation.
