Background

The Halal industry is one of the fastest growing industries, with growth rates exceeding traditional industry sectors. At present, supply of Halal products and services are dominated by non-European countries, but huge gaps remain between the existing trade level of Halal products and size of the market potential. Hence, there is a relatively large un-tapped potential for European countries and companies to be involved in the Halal industry.

In order to facilitate this, World Halal Forum Europe aims to deliver a comprehensive understanding on the potential of the global and regional Halal industry, trade and market access as well as major characteristics and issues faced by the industry to the delegates/ participants. It is also a perfect platform to conduct business networking between speakers, panellists and participants of the event to harness the trade opportunities in this industry.

From a gathering of high-level participants, industry experts, academicians and scholars, deliberations and resolutions at WHF Europe 2009 will shape the future of the Halal industry.
