Throughout the exhibition, local entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to meet with companies from other participating countries at our pavilion and establish new partnerships in the areas of export and distribution.

The exhibition will run until 29 November.

During the event, Orkhan Mammadov, Chairman of the Board of KOBİA, highlighted the growing interest of Azerbaijani companies in the halal industry and the initiatives pursued in this area. It was emphasized that the global halal economy is rapidly expanding, and Azerbaijan is leveraging these opportunities both by participating in relevant international exhibitions and by strengthening international cooperation through organizing the AZHAB Forum, which was held for the second time this year.
