13th Islamic Economics and Finance Summit
The 13th Islamic Economics and Finance Summit, organized by the Islamic Economics Research Center (IKAM) of İLKE Foundation, will be held on October 28, 2025, in Istanbul, under the main sponsorship of Vakıf Katılım, with the valuable support and collaboration of the Turkish Association of Business Ethics (İGİAD), Anadolu Agency (AA), Türkiye Katılım Sigorta, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, İktisat Vakfı, and Boğaziçi University. Previously held as the Islamic Economics Workshop, which was limited to academic presentations, the event has been continuing since 2024 as the Islamic Economics and Finance Summit. This year, the 13th Summit will once again bring together researchers, academics, and professionals from both the public and private sectors, with the aim of presenting and discussing recent studies in Islamic economics and participation finance. The program will begin in a single session in the morning and continue in the afternoon with two parallel sessions: a general session and an academic session. In the general session, leading institutions from the sector will deliver presentations that highlight the current state of the financial industry. The academic paper presentation sessions, which were previously a hallmark of the workshop, will continue this year in the academic session. By combining academic and sector-focused sessions, the Summit will provide an extended platform where both scholars and leading industry figures can engage in in-depth discussions on Islamic economics and finance. In doing so, it seeks to foster new opportunities for collaboration and stronger alignment between academia and the industry. In addition, Islamic Economics Awards 2025 will also be presented to their recipients during the 13th Islamic Economics and Finance Summit. For Registration:
