BruHAS 2019 features four main activities: the BruHAS Halal Expo showcasing Halal and Islamic themed local and international businesses, an international seminar on Halal Thayyiban products and services (SAPPHAT IV), a Halal clinic providing business advisory and business matching sessions facilitated by Darussalam Enterprise (DARe) for local businesses to gain market access with local and regional industry representatives.
“The collective BruHAS objectives (are) as a platform for trade and networking among regional halal food manufacturing players, to provide awareness on the ecosystem involved for the halal and Islamic related industry, (including) the existing landscape of supply chain, logistics, technology, equipment, systems, policy and processes as well as integrated resource utilisation,” said the organizing secretariat.
“(It also is) a means to generate academic, intellectual and industry-based discussions for a holistic approach towards growing the halal industry in the regional economies.”
