It is one of government’s strategies to make Malaysia as a global halal hub.

Conference Theme

This year WHC 2019 will feature the theme on Fostering a Robust Halal Economy: Global Integration and Ethical Practise to reflect upon the uncertainties raised in building the future of Islamic Economy and aimed at accelerating competitive and inclusive economies around the world by enhancing the understanding of potentials of an Islamic Economy; facilitating public-private collaboration to improve competitiveness and inclusive growth performance of particular economies and regions; building a foundation to network; and collaborating with stakeholders across the world even in countries where Muslims are the minority.

The Halal industry has always been of paramount importance to Malaysia as a Muslim-majority country.

With the current technology revolution, global integration becomes sudden and borderless. This is where by fostering a true Halal Economy, these challenges can be diminished.
