Dear Member,

In the letter dated 28.10.2025 and numbered 13901, sent to our Chamber from the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye,

It is stated that the World Halal Summit and Halal Expo, which are held every year under the patronage of the Presidency, are organized by Discover Events with the coordination of the Standards and Metrology Institute for Islamic Countries (SMIIC), a relevant organization of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

Last year's World Halal Summit, which featured approximately 50 high-level speakers from 18 different countries, addressed key issues related to the global halal sector. Original projects were presented under 10 different session headings. The Halal Fair attracted nearly 500 domestic and international companies from 50 countries. The event was reportedly a successful international event, attracting over 50,000 visitors from over 100 countries.

The article continues by stating that the global halal market, which is approximately US$7 trillion, is expected to reach US$10 trillion in the near future, and that our country is expected to become a central country and that it aims to attract this sector, which has a consumer base of nearly 2 billion worldwide, especially in the areas of food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, tourism and finance.

In this context, it is shared that the 11th World Halal Summit and Halal Expo 2025 ( https://helalexpo.com.tr/ ) , which is expected to host more than 1000 purchasing professionals, will be held at the Istanbul Fair Center (Yeşilköy) between 26–29 November 2025.

In this context, the organization is expected to bring together a wider audience of participants with its Private Label Products Special Area, Natural Organic Vegan (NOV) Products Area, Modest Fashion Area, SEFPEX Seafood and Equipment Area, Country Business Forums and ETHEXPO Eurasia Tourism and Health Fair. It is emphasized that a total of 50,000 visitors, 20,000 of whom are foreign, are expected to attend the event, which will allow our companies to gain a greater share of the halal sector through B2B meetings.

Best regards.
