Source metadata: PKM: Entrepreneurship and Islamic Philanthropy / Empowering Muslim Communities through the Development of Global Halal Export Opportunities | Tim: Teguh Yudo Wicaksono, Muhammad Khafidh, Santi Ganiswari
The global halal economy offers opportunities for Muslim communities, but access to those opportunities requires knowledge, networks, product readiness, and entrepreneurial confidence. UIII’s community engagement project on entrepreneurship and Islamic philanthropy explored how communities can be empowered to develop halal export potential while grounding economic activity in social purpose.
The Faculty of Economics and Business team brought together two important ideas. Entrepreneurship helps communities create value, compete, and innovate. Islamic philanthropy reminds them that economic activity should also support welfare, equity, and collective benefit. When these ideas meet, business development can become more than market expansion; it can become a pathway to community empowerment.
The project likely addressed practical issues such as product positioning, halal standards, export readiness, market access, and the role of philanthropic institutions in supporting capacity building. These issues matter because many small producers have strong products but limited knowledge of how to enter larger markets.
For UIII, the activity fits a distinctive institutional niche. As an international Islamic university with expertise in economics and finance, UIII can help connect local Muslim communities to global conversations on halal trade, inclusive growth, and ethical enterprise.
A feature article can focus on aspiration and readiness: how communities imagine their products reaching broader markets and what support they need to do so. Final publication should include examples of products or sectors discussed, partner institutions, and participant quotations. The core message is that halal export development can be socially meaningful when entrepreneurship is guided by ethics, capacity building, and community benefit.
