London Halal Forum 1st Edition – Halal For Business Excellency

The inaugural London Halal Forum, held from November 20-22, 2025, at Excel London, was a remarkable gathering under the theme "Halal Tayyib for Humanity." It brought together over 1,500 participants—from both in-person and virtual—highlighting London's emerging role as a key player in the growing Halal economy. The forum featured more than 35 international speakers who led engaging discussions, interactive workshops, and an international exhibition showcasing Halal products from over ten countries.
