Kenya is gearing up to host the Sharia Compliance and Halal Business Expo 2025, a landmark event that aims to cement the country’s position as a key player in the burgeoning global Halal economy. The expo will take place from April 28 to April 29 at the Sarit Centre in Nairobi, and will culminate in a grand gala dinner and the Excellence & Appreciation Awards Ceremony on April 30, 2025.
The event will serve as a comprehensive platform to educate and empower stakeholders, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), by providing in-depth knowledge of the latest trends, opportunities, and requirements in the Halal market. With the Halal economy currently valued at over $2 trillion and projected to exceed $3 trillion by 2030, the expo comes at a crucial time when businesses are seeking ethical and Sharia-compliant avenues for growth.
Keynote addresses will be delivered by prominent figures including Somalia’s ambassador to Kenya, Jabril Ibrahim Abdulle, and Juma Mukhwana, CBS, the Principal Secretary for the State Department of Industry under the Ministry of Investments, Trade, and Industry (MITI). Their presence underscores the regional importance of the event and the growing commitment to Halal-focused development across East Africa.
The expo is designed to attract importers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers keen on Halal-certified goods. It will facilitate meaningful engagement between businesses and essential institutions such as government agencies, Halal certification bodies, and Islamic financial institutions. This will open doors to new investments and partnerships, reinforcing economic development through ethical, Sharia-compliant practices.
Furthermore, the event will shine a spotlight on innovation within the Halal sector, showcasing groundbreaking products and services that meet the needs of over 2 billion Muslim consumers worldwide.
By hosting this high-profile event, Kenya is not only positioning itself as a hub for Halal commerce and Islamic finance but also affirming its dedication to fostering sustainable economic growth through value-based business models. The Sharia Compliance and Halal Business Expo 2025 is poised to be a game-changer for the region’s integration into the global Halal economy.
