Halal Angels Network, HalalNexus to boost local halal startup ecosystem

The Halal & Ethical Investment Summit will also be held in Singapore post-pandemic.

The Halal Angels Network has joined forces with HalalNexus Singapore to support the local government and firms in halal consumer market as well as Islamic finance.

In boosting the promotion for the halal startup ecosystem, the partnership will focus on key areas: halal fintech, halal foodtech, halal tourism, ethical finance, and future technologies.

According to Halal Angels Network founder Tausif Malik, the partnership would back the Singaporean government’s startup initiatives and market opportunities in venturing into the halal consumer market, both B2C and B2B.

Further, Halal Angels Network and HalalNexus would be hosting the Halal & Ethical Investment Summit in Singapore post-COVID-19 pandemic, which would be part of a series of conferences to be held at different locations worldwide.

“Due to Singapore’s government pro-business policies and initiatives, it has emerged as one of the best places in the world to do business, with access to investors not only from Singapore but from other parts of the world,” said Halal Angels Network in a media release.

“Halal Angels Network’s focus on halal startups and entrepreneurship will make it easy for us to connect and leverage with other like-minded startups, entrepreneurs and investors. Furthermore, as Singapore is poised to capitalise on the over $2.69t (US$2t) halal market size in [the] Asia-Pacific region, it represents a huge opportunity for halal startups here,” HalalNexufs founder Sulaiman Harun said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
