The Nestlé Skin Health Investigation, Education and Longevity Development (SHIELD) network will comprise unique innovation hubs for engaging with healthcare professionals from the fields of dermatology, general medicine, aging, nursing and technology. These hubs will provide an environment where these professionals can interact with innovative new products and technologies, working toward better solutions for skin health (skin cancers, intense dryness of the skin, bacterial and fungal infections of the skin . The first location is planned to open in New York in 2015, followed by Hong Kong and Sao Paulo and then elsewhere in North America, Asia and Europe. The SHIELD initiative is aligned with the needs identified in the recently released consensus statement of the 2014 Manchester Summit on Active Ageing and Healthy Skin which calls for action and innovation in skin health as a path to wellness, social value and economic growth.
