Tribune’s Report: The Thailand Halal Assembly 2024, an international Conference on halal science and innovation, taking place on December 19-20, 2024, at the Al Meroz Hotel in Bangkok. Hosted by the Halal Science Center of Chulalongkorn University, this year’s event is themed “Toward Halal Trust through Digital Technology 2Als.”
The assembly brings together leading thinkers, researchers, and industry experts to discuss and explore advancements in halal science and technology. It features the International Halal Science
and Technology Conference 2024 (IHSATEC), the 17th Halal Science, Industry, and Business Conference, and the International Halal Route Workshop. In addition, a special exhibition on halal innovation showcases Thailand’s digital transformation of the halal industry through two key applications of AI.
The first “AI” – Actual Implementation
– highlights the integration of human expertise in systems like HAL-Q, halal
forensic laboratories, innovations, and religious rulings (fatwas). The second “AI”
– Artificial Intelligence – uses AI to manage big data, supported by the THAIs platform, enhancing trust across industry, consumer, and business sectors in Thailand’s halal products. These innovations aim to reduce operational costs, improve competitiveness, and underscore Thailand’s leadership in the digital age of halal industry.
IHSATEC 2024: International Halal Science and Technology Conference 2024 is pleased to invite academicians and scientists to participate and submit your abstracts ans full papers covering all aspects of Halal Science and Technology fields.

The exhibition at Thailand Halal Assembly 2024 focuses on the concept of “Halal Trust Through Digital Technology 2AIs”, which integrates Actual Implementation with Artificial Intelligence
(AI) to build confidence in halal products and industries in Thailand.
AI 1: Actual Implementation: Actual Implementation involves the real-world application of technologies to inspect and control halal standards.
AI 2: Artificial Intelligence: utilizes technology that enhances the accuracy and efficiency of data management and halal systems.
The exhibition covers four key areas:
- HAL-Q:
A halal quality management system using digital technology and AI to improve inspection efficiency, along with the application of Big Data and Halal Blockchain for transparency
in the production process.
- Laboratory Testing:
The use of AI and Machine Learning in testing samples for contaminants and analyzing data quickly.
- H Numbers: A system for identifying raw materials and chemicals that meet halal standards using AI.
- Halal Blockchain: The use of blockchain technology to create a traceability system for halal products, increasing transparency and preventing data tampering.
This exhibition highlights the use of digital technology and AI to support Thailand’s halal industry, enhancing its credibility and strengthening its position on the global stage.
