This theme was taken on the basis of the development of the halal ecosystem which is a system in the complex network of Islamic businesses, Islamic Financial Institutions, Government Agencies that focus on the halal industry, and non-governmental organizations. There are at least five sectors in the halal ecosystem, namely goods, services, infrastructure, human resources, and government support. On the other hand, the halal ecosystem in the world continues to experience escalation and promising trends. A number of factors are suspected to contribute positively to the development of the halal ecosystem.

In his speech, the Dean of the Faculty of Islamic Economics and Business, Dr. Afdawaiza, S.Ag., M.Ag, stated, "As one of the largest religions in the world, Muslims have the potential and challenges of the halal market, based on statistics, the Muslim population is around 1.91 billion, the demand for halal products and services is certainly large. This means that this demographic advantage can be a real opportunity for the industry as a whole.”
