Aguascalientes Companies Target Halal Market

Aguascalientes companies interested in expanding their export opportunities will learn about the potential of the halal market and the scope of this certification as a tool for entering new international destinations. The Ministry of Economic Development, Science and Technology (SEDECYT) will host the webinar “Halal: The Gateway to a Multi-Billion Dollar Global Market,” scheduled for Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at 9:00 AM, held virtually. The session will be led by Hülya Contreras Sánchez of The Halal Approval, a specialist involved in the development and promotion of the halal ecosystem in Mexico.

Why Focus on the Halal Market?

The training aims to provide local businesses with information on the commercial possibilities related to the halal market and explain how such certification can be part of an internationalization strategy. During the webinar, the commercial potential of markets demanding products certified under halal criteria will be discussed, as well as the opportunities these represent for Mexican companies seeking to diversify their exports and expand their international presence. Another key point will be analyzing halal certification from a business competitiveness perspective, particularly for organizations looking to adapt their products and processes to the requirements of new consumers and markets. According to the announcement, participants will be able to learn about three main aspects: the potential of the halal market, export opportunities to new international destinations, and the role of certification as a strategy to strengthen competitiveness.
