Startups of any size and stage are welcome to apply if they meet the needs and criteria identified by L’Oréal SAPMENA. The program is also open to startups with mature technologies that can contribute to the development of Beauty Tech, while companies still exploring industry applications may collaborate with the platform and support provided by L’Oréal.
