The Global Entrepreneur One Stop Centre (GLOPEC), made the initiative to promote the awareness of Sabah’s local Halal and healthful food and beverages as a business value proposition among French and European businesses at SIAL Paris 2022 from October 15th to 19th 2022.
The Halal and healthful food and beverages products are a business value proposition that will appeal to the consumers during this period of transitions, reinventions, and transformations underway in the food industry which has accelerated during the pandemic period.
Sabah products are produced with the highest level of care in product manufacturing – not only in refraining from using forbidden ingredients, but in caring for the environment, social well-being, and good governance.
GLOPEC participates as one of the exhibitors at the Malaysian Pavilion under the organization of MATRADE. SIAL Paris is the leading exhibition of food service products with more than 7,020 French and international exhibitors from 109 countries displaying their food and beverages products.
GLOPEC was established through a strategic partnership between Yayasan Sabah Group and Bumiputera Agenda Steering Committee (TERAJU) in 2021 as a platform to assist Sabah SMEs in growing their business operations and connecting them to a large network of global suppliers and importers.
GLOPEC functions as the contact point that engages will all business-related agencies and governing bodies in the targeted markets as well as suppliers and buyers to disseminate verified information and business opportunities related to the participating Sabah SMEs.
The company also provides training courses to SMEs to provide insights into the global business climate, marketing, promotion and publicity campaigns, trade relations programme and participation in trade fairs.
The participation at SIAL Paris 2022 will see the sharing of knowledge between GLOPEC and the trade to explore business opportunities, acquaint with new consumer trends, food innovations and marketing tie-ups.
“This is indeed another significant milestone for GLOPEC in expanding its international footprints.
