Strategic Partnerships
What is Matchmaking at CBS
The CBS Matchmaking Program is a structured system designed to connect beauty brands with buyers, retailers, and distribution partners.
It ensures that participation goes beyond visibility, creating meaningful, outcome-driven business opportunities.
How It Works
Prior to the summit, participating brands and buyers will submit profiles outlining:
Product categories
Market focus
Distribution goals
Business needs
Based on this information, CBS facilitates curated introductions aligned with strategic fit.
Matchmaking Experience
During the summit, matchmaking takes place through:
Scheduled one-on-one meetings
Guided introductions within the Caribbean Pavilion
Dedicated networking sessions
Each interaction is designed to support discovery, alignment, and potential partnership.
Who Participates
The Matchmaking Program is designed for:
Brands
Emerging brands preparing for market entry
Market-ready brands seeking distribution
Established brands expanding into new regions
Buyers & Partners
Retail buyers
Travel retail and duty-free operators
Distributors and wholesalers

What Makes It Different
CBS matchmaking is not random networking.
It is a structured, curated process focused on:
Quality over quantity
Strategic alignment
Real business outcomes
Why It Matters
Caribbean brands often lack direct access to international buyers and distribution channels.
The Matchmaking Program bridges this gap by creating intentional, high-value connections that support long-term growth.
Participation
Access to the Matchmaking Program is limited and available to:
Confirmed brands
Registered buyers
Approved partners
Participation is curated to ensure relevance and impact.
