13th WIEF description

Join us at the 13th World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) to discuss the impact and challenges of life-altering disruptive ideas as well as technologies with some of the finest minds in the world today. At WIEF, you’ll get a chance to not only explore solutions and possibilities on how to best benefit from this dynamic development but also to grab the chance for face-to-face meetings between Forum participants, sponsors and exhibitors which in turn develops your network through various programmes, and the main ones are:
Business Exchange - It’s an avenue for businesses to expand their outreach by hosting a networking table with interested participants in attendance. The session is crafted around a business presentation which is a 7-minute elevator pitch, followed by a networking session with interested participants at designated tables. It’s been proven to be an effective platform for businesses to have their pitch heard to participants.
IdeaPad - It’s a niche event that gives a sneak peek into the world of startup business. It provides an important platform for aspiring entrepreneurs with innovative groundbreaking and disruptive ideas to capture the interest of potential clients and investors from across the globe.
