Daniel Zanetti, exhibition director at in-cosmetics North America, said, "We’re thrilled to be launching the JPitch initiative at in-cosmetics North America. It is based on a concept that worked extremely well at in-cosmetics Global this year, so we are confident it will be equally successful. Innovation truly is the backbone of the cosmetics and personal care industry. Without continued investment in new products, technologies and services the sector simply wouldn’t survive. Our aim with JPitch is to identify truly unique and inspirational innovation from all corners of the globe that will inspire a new generation of consumer products.”
