INTERNATIONAL HALAL MARKET CONFERENCE 2008

IHMC2008 Secretariat welcomes you to the 3rd International Halal conference in Brunei!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“The Emergence of the Halal Market Economy”

This year conference promises a new in-depth perspective on the evolving global Halal market. The Halal market is not static. It is an evolving market phenomenon that is emerging as a new force within global commerce.With a foundational consumer base of 1.5 billion Muslims around the world, the Halal sector is rapidly finding common ground with other market forces. The global trends towards natural, healthy, fair-trade and environmental protection, plus the strong focus on ethic practices in finance and investment are all helping to bring the Halal movement into stronger and more relevant perspective.

Industry stakeholders are increasingly realizing that the opportunities within the Halal sectors extend far beyond the scope of food production.
As the market develops, we are seeing the emergence of a full spectrum of products and services that are all related to the Halal sector.
As these new entities mature and begin to interact with each other, we are starting to see the unfolding of the next phase of growth of the Halal movement.

One clear example of this new phase is the increasing scope of activity between the Halal sector and Islamic investment.
As the market matures, the opportunities for investment, mergers and acquisitions are increasing. Islamic Investment funds with a specific focus on the Halal industry are increasingly appearing, and the ground of common interest between these two shariah-compliant sectors continues to strengthen.

The rise of Halal tourism, the need for sector specific ICT initiatives, Halal pharmaceuticals, industrial park developments and the appearance of Halal science are all signs that this new Halal Market Economy is taking shape, and is showing every sign of being a powerful new market paradigm for the 21st century.

There are now Halal conferences and expos all over the world, so it is becoming increasingly important for event organisers to really deliver quality.

South East Asia is still remains the cutting edge for pushing the Halal market forwards, but latest moves in the GCC region, plus activities in North America are now opening up the market to new influences.
IHMC 2008 will bring together selected industry experts with real specialist knowledge of various industry sectors such as pharmaceuticals, venture capital, high quality production, software development and tourism.
Plus an opportunity to participate in an open session with Shariah scholars, scientists and industry experts to hear views on some of the controversial issues in the Halal market.

OIC moves on Halal Standards

Latest news from the OIC Summit in Senegal has indicated that the initiative to develop Halal standards has moved to a new level. The Jeddah-based Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) has been given a mandate to develop Halal standards for the OIC-member nations.

Headed by Saudi tycoon Sheikh Saleh Kamel, the ICCI is emerging as a dynamic organisation that is bringing together diverse interests with a focus on the Halal sector.
In addition to developing standards, the ICCI seems to be encouraging the zone of common interest between Islamic Finance and the Halal industry.
These two shariah-compliant industries have the potential to have a major impact on each other; and as a combined force, they can have a significant impact on global markets.

The Halal market is really poised on the brink of a new phase of growth and development that will not be limited to the Muslim market.
Consumers around the world are all becoming aware of Halal - even if they do not fully understand what is means.
The opportunity exists for a strong push to bring about a new level of awareness on Halal.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Halal Market Economy

The convergence of various interests within the Halal market is bringing about a new awareness of a new emerging market paradigm, the Halal Market Economy.

There are so many diverse elements that have Halal as a common factor. As these elements combine and interact, we are seeing whole new industry sectors, such as Halal tourism and hospitality, open up for
investment and growth.

These moves are not limited to the Muslim world. Business interests around the world, from North America to the Philippines, are eyeing the Halal sector as a potential avenue for growth and economic
revival.
This market is moving fast. To stay ahead of the curve, industry stakeholders will need to keep abreast of the latest developments.
