Good morning, distinguished guests, partners, and friends from Singapore and Indonesia.
On behalf of SMCCI, I warmly welcome you to the Halal Creative Forum 2025.
This forum is a celebration of the halal economy’s diversity, spanning food, fashion, lifestyle, and wellness. It is also a platform to deepen the strong Singapore–Indonesia business ties that are vital to our region’s growth.
Singapore offers innovation, governance, and connectivity. Indonesia brings scale, creativity, and cultural richness. Together, we can build not just successful businesses, but enduring partnerships.
Through SELOKAL Marketplace @ Halal Creative Forum, SMCCI is proud to provide opportunities for local brands to showcase, sell, and shine, alongside partners like Scarf Media Indonesia. This collaboration reflects our shared vision: to empower entrepreneurs, uplift halal-driven enterprises, and open new doors across borders.
The halal economy is built on trust and values, and these are what make our businesses sustainable and future-ready. SMCCI remains committed to being your bridge, partner, and champion in this journey.
Before I close, let me express my deepest appreciation to our partner, Scarf Media, speakers, and vendors who have made this forum possible. And to all of you here today—thank you for being part of this journey.
I encourage you to learn, connect, and collaborate. May today spark new opportunities, and may the Singapore–Indonesia partnership continue to flourish in the halal economy and beyond. Terima kasih, thank you, and enjoy the rest of the forum.
