In 2013, Dubai announced its vision to become the capital of the Islamic economy. Islamic principles play a fundamental role today in the global business environment, with the size of the Islamic economy reaching about $2.3 trillion and the Muslim population growing to 1.6 billion people.
In support of this vision, the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, through one of its strategies, seeks to promote and support the growth of the Islamic economy globally. In line with this strategy and under the generous patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai – may God protect him – the Chamber launched the Global Islamic Economy Summit in 2013 in cooperation with Thomson Reuters.
This summit presented the coherent concept of Islamic economy to all people of the world, as this annual summit has become a platform for more than 2,000 decision-makers and business leaders to connect and discuss important issues affecting the seven pillars of the Islamic economy, which are: Islamic Finance, Halal Industries, Halal Tourism, Islamic Digital Economy, Islamic Arts, Islamic Standards and Certifications, Islamic Teachings.
