For the second consecutive year, the Muslim Trade Forum led a high-level UK trade delegation to the 3rd edition of the Makkah Halal Forum 2026, strengthening commercial ties, fostering international partnerships, and creating new opportunities for British Muslim businesses to engage with key stakeholders across the global halal ecosystem.

Held from 14 to 16 February 2026 at the Makkah Chamber Exhibitions and Events Centre in Saudi Arabia, the forum successfully concluded with a strong focus on advancing the global halal sector beyond regulatory compliance towards a more integrated, innovative and professionalised international industry.
