Instituto Halal focuses its efforts on providing the best certification service to its clients and tries to act as a bridge to Muslim markets, both locally and internationally.
The demand for halal products is growing and business opportunities are constantly emerging that may be of interest. In order to identify, promote and make these business opportunities visible, Instituto Halal often attends and participates in fairs, seminars, conferences and other events related to the sector, while undertaking numerous actions and campaigns to promote the halal guarantee mark and the products covered by it.
These actions allow us to keep up to date with new market trends, business lines, halal standards, regulations, etc. and help us to establish links with the different actors that form part of the business fabric.
At the end of the day, the main objective is the interconnection between the different agents operating in the market both nationally and internationally, increasing the impact and prospects for growth.
