Sephora is the flagship retail brand of the LVMH group. To remain a leader in the cosmetics market, Sephora must always be on the lookout for new nuggets to add to the hundreds of brands offered in-store and online. The beauty sector is rapidly innovating with digital and personalization experiences. What's more, customers are concerned about the products they buy and are looking for healthier, more natural ingredients. To meet these challenges, Sephora has chosen to support innovative cosmetics entrepreneurs through the " Sephora Stands ".

In addition to finding nuggets, Sephora seeks to bring its social and environmental commitments to life through the "Sephora Stands" program, which focuses onwomen's entrepreneurship with "Sephora Accelerate" and support for local communities with "Classes for Confidence". These initiatives support a community of women who have created their own innovative start-ups in the beauty sector.
The "Sephora Accelerate" program lasts over 6 months and starts with a bootcamp to define the business model, then entrepreneurs benefit from personalized support from Sephora experts and funding to develop their project. The Demo Day closes the acceleration phase with a presentation of the final product in front of industry experts.
