ABOUT THE EVENT

    The Muslim World Business and Investment Zone is a leading trade event that consists of a Multi-sector
    International Exhibition and a number of specialised conferences in addition to prestigious award cer-
    emonies. The main goal of the event is to uplift the status of the Islamic economy by enhancing each
    of its components through cooperation between all stakeholders. To do so, the event brings together
    policy makers, organisational leaders, business professionals, economists and academicians to delib-
    erate over compelling issues and formulate effective strategies.

    The Muslim World Biz contributes to the implementation of the OIC-2025 Programme of Action, which
    was announced by the OIC in 2016, to increase intra-OIC trade to be 25% by the year 2025. How-
    ever, the event is not confined to serving only the 57 OIC member countries as the nearly 2 billion
    Muslim population is also established on all six continents. The Muslim World Biz leverages on the
    fact that the Islamic countries possess most of the world’s natural resources, and more than a quarter
    of its human resources.

    The 9th edition of the Muslim World Biz has been restructured to organise the sub events as stand-
    alone events in different dates and venues. The purpose of this is to provide more focus on each of its
    activities of the Muslim World Biz to maximise the benefits. However, the biggest of the activities for
    2019 will be held from 4-6 September 2019 comprising of the Opening Ceremony, Presentation of
    the Jewels of the Muslim World Award, the Round Table Talk and the International Trade Exhibition.

                                    OIC INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS CENTRE

 The prime theory of Allahyarham Dato’ Dr. Raja Mohamad Abdullah, the late CEO of the OIC
 International Business Centre Sdn Bhd, was that the Muslim world should focus on business, trade and
 enhancement of peaceful ways to resolve the massive economic problems it currently faces.

 He would say the Muslim world has seen its ugly share of wars, conflicts and crises and that Muslim
 populations are falling behind the rest of the world, pointing out his tenure as the CEO of the company,
 chairman of the Muslim World Business & Investment Zone (Exhibition & Conference), he would press
 on that it was time for a change, and to him it meant putting the economy ahead of the political debate.
 Allahyarham Dato’ Dr. Raja Mohamad Abdullah is the man that relentlessly stood for fellow Muslims, for
 economic progress, for global integration of the OIC member countries and for Malaysia to be known
 as the catalyst centre for global Islamic development.

 “But the economic well-being of the people is not catered for, leaving behind a trail of suffering, poverty
 and wars,” he would say. And this will be one of the last no-holds-barred message that Dato’ would
 have for the global Muslim community, a message that should remain engraved on the walls of history.

     “But the economic well-being of the
     people is not catered for, leaving behind a
     trail of suffering, poverty and wars.”

    Warm greetings from OIC International Business Centre

    We are pleased to announce that the 9th Muslim World Biz, Trade Exhibition and Conference will be
    organised at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), Malaysia. With the theme “Spearheading
    Sustainable Economic Growth” the 9th edition of the event is expected to draw over 500 Malaysian and
    international exhibitors occupying close to 700 exhibition booths for three days. It is the ideal platform to
    network, create and promote brand awareness, conclude deals and expand your business.

    The event is comprised of the Round Table Talk, the Muslim World Women’s Summit, the OIC Arab-Asia
    Trade & Economic Forum, the OIC Higher Education Conference & Expo and the World Islamic Tourism
    Conference & Expo. With its international panel of experts, the event is expected to be well-attended by
    2,000 delegates to exchange ideas and learn new concepts that are bound to lead to enriching the lives,
    knowledge and economies of the participating individuals, organisations and countries.

    I invite you to witness the presentation of the Jewels of the Muslim World Award, which is one of the
    world’s leading prestigious awards, to honour the movers & shakers who have contributed towards the
    growth of the global Islamic economy.

    With the support of the Government of Malaysia, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and
    other prominent organisations, the 9th Muslim World Biz is geared to play a leading role in increasing
    trade activities among the Muslim and non-Muslim countries. The main focus of the Muslim World Biz on
    providing the platform for business and investment opportunities has been remarkably successful for the
    last eight years with active participation from more than 50 countries worldwide.

    Be a part of the 9th Muslim World Biz 2019, which will provide you with the golden opportunity to expand
    into the Muslim market both here in Malaysia as well as in other Muslim and non-Muslim countries world-
    wide. It is the perfect opportunity to tap into the 2 billion Muslim population worldwide.

    Thank you.

    Yours sincerely,

    MUHAMMAD RAJA TALIB DATO’ DR RAJA MOHAMAD ABDULLAH

                                     DEPUTY CHAIRMAN, MUSLIM WORLD BIZ

Since 2010, the Muslim World Business and Investment Zone has been promoting cooperation between
companies from different OIC member countries. It has established a network of entrepreneurs and busi-
ness leaders from many countries. We are truly proud that this event is now entering its ninth year, and
this gives us more energy to work even harder to accomplish our mission represented in developing the
Islamic economy, which in turn enhances the welfare of not only Muslims, but also humanity at large.

What makes us even stronger is the continuous support we receive from the sponsors and partners in
addition to the assistance from the Government of Malaysia and its various ministries and agencies, the
Islamic Centre for Development of Trade and the Association of Arab Universities. For the upcoming 9th
Muslim World Biz, we are preparing like we have not done before. This is simply because we can see
the great potential this event has, not only to grow national economies but also to foster international ties
so that people from different regions could live in peace and harmony.

As usual the event will include three main components: the conference zone, the exhibition zone and
the award ceremonies. However, the content and scale of these activities are going to be different in the
sense that new and compelling topics will be discussed, more exhibitors and participants are expected
to join and new strategies will be built to boost the progress of economic and social activities within the
Muslim world and beyond. Be part of this annual event and get the benefits which reach individuals and
organisations from local and international communities.

With the theme ‘Spearheading Sustainable Economic Growth’ the 9th Muslim World Biz aims to build
upon past achievements to attain future prosperity. For this we believe in the policy of inclusion so that
everyone has a chance to participate. In particular, as the Chairman of the Muslim World Rania Award,
I emphasise the roles of women in growing this event and increasing its positive impact globally. There-
fore, I invite you to explore through this brochure to see which of the components match with your busi-
ness operations, and our specialised teams will be there to assist you.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge and sincerely appreciate the support we receive from the Govern-
ment of Malaysia as part of its constant contribution and renowned leading role to develop the Islamic
economy. I also thank all the sponsors and partners who believe in our mission and I am confident that
they will be rewarded with greater success.

THE ROUND TABLE TALK
                               THE JEWELS OF THE MUSLIM WORLD

     THEME: FORTIFYING YOUNG MUSLIM LEADERS IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY

     Envisioned as a global leadership programme, the Round Table Talk (RTT) was incorporated in the
     annual Muslim World Biz in 2014. It brings together captains of industry from around the Muslim
     world to share their experiences with entrepreneurs and young leaders in order to enhance their
     leadership skills and contributions to the advancement of the global Islamic economy through inno-
     vation using the most ethical and effective business practices.

     The main objective of the RTT is to explore the global challenges facing the leaders of the Muslim
     community, and to highlight the opportunities which can be utilised to elevate the Islamic economy
     as well as the threats confronting the progress of modern Muslim businesses. To do so, the RTT as-
     pires to build bridges of communication between the Muslim business leaders and those in other
     parts of the world.

     One unique characteristic of the RTT is the fact that most of the speakers are the winners of the Jewels
     of the Muslim World Award, which honours the success and achievements of great Muslim leaders
     in different industries from around the Muslim world. Sound leadership is a crucial factor leading the
     trajectories of development of nations in different directions. As the number of active participants in-
     crease annually, the RTT builds upon this opportunity to provide a platform for fostering cooperation
     among Muslim countries, and with the rest of the world.

     SOME OF THE TOPICS DISCUSSED BEFORE:

     •       Forging Entrepreneurial Leadership
     •       Leadership in Action Vs. Leadership in Crisis
     •       Emerging Leadership Styles
     •       Cross Cultural Leadership
     •       Integrity and Courage in Leadership
     •       Islamophobia: The Impact on Global Islamic Economy

     With the theme “Fortifying Young Muslim Leaders in the Face of Adversity”, the focus will be on
     the Muslim youth leadership and its important role at this fundamental juncture in the process of
     development in the Muslim world. This requires future Muslim leaders to be aware of the need to
     collaborate with others while having their own approach and innovative strategies. This applies to
     working with non-Muslim businesses as long as it complies with the Islamic teachings.

     In particular, the aim of this year’s RTT is to facilitate a platform for Muslim youth leaders to articulate
     their thoughts and ideas on the future of the Muslim world in the context of sustainable economic
     and social development. In addition, the 2-day programme tries to tackle some of the issues that
     current and future leaders might come across, and it provides systematic guidelines to handle them.

     THE TOPICS THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED:

     •       Leading Across Generations
     •       Transitions Vs. Transformations, Who, What and When?
     •       Stay Positive, Adversity is the Best learning Experience
     •       Muslim Youth Leadership
     •       The Influence of Islam in Leadership

     ABOUT THE AWARD

     The meaning of “Rania” is derived from the
     word “Queen”. There is no doubt that women
     carry big responsibilities in their role of con-
     tributing to all aspects of human life. There has
     not been any known divine or man-made law
     that is not giving women their due rights in the                 HONOURED BY
     society. Failing to clearly understand their role
     leads to disparage women’s value and hence
     deny those rights. All stages of history are full
     of examples for women who excelled event
     better than their men counterparts.

     Islam, for instance, elevates the status of wom-
     en to be completely equal to men, and it re-
     jects any act of downgrading their physical
     and/or intellectual capabilities. However,
     many people accuse the Islamic teachings of
     being unfair towards women. This accusation
     comes in the first place as a result of misinter-
     preting the verses of the Holy Quran, without
     looking at the authentic narrations and expla-
     nations. What support the critic of those peo-
     ple are perhaps some cultural practices which
     have no roots in any of the Quranic verses.

     In recognition of the women’s efforts and to
     appreciate their feat in all sections of our life,
     the OIC International Business Centre has the
     pleasure to announce the presentation of “The
     Muslim World Rania Award” to selected dis-
     tinguished women from around the Muslim
     world. The award presentation for the second
     time, will take place at a special ceremony
     during the 9th undertaking of the annual event
     “The Muslim World Business and Investment
     Zone – Trade Exhibition and Conference.”

                         selected groups of young ambitious entrepreneurs who are expected to
                         shape the future of the Islamic economy. The panellists and speakers are
                         current and former recipients of the prestigious award “Jewels of the Mus-

                         ble examples of how success could be achieved. The conference is
                         fully dedicated to discuss issue pertaining to the progress of women’s
                         participation in all aspects of life including the business environment.
                         Since women’s empowerment is the main highlight of the conference,

                         the Muslim World Infrastructure & Investment Conference comes timely to
                         reflect on the progressive development of Malaysia’s economy which is
                         based on the strong infrastructure the country has. The various sessions
                         will shed the light on how to develop modern infrastructure in the OIC
                         member countries as the first step to promoting them as destinations for
                         foreign direct investment. Many of those countries are rich in resources
                         but are not really able to maximise the use of them in improving people’s
                         quality of life through social as well as economic development.

ABOUT OIC
                  MEMBER COUNTRIES
     The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) (formerly the Organisation of the Islamic

     Conference) is the second largest inter-governmental organisation in the world. The OIC
       is spread across four continents with 57 states as current members. The Organisation

        stands as a collective voice of the Muslim world. It aims to identify and protect the
     interests of the Muslim world while promoting international harmony among and between

      the varying people of the world. The OIC was formed after a criminal arson attack on
      Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem. As a result the decision to establish the OIC to
