한국 기업의 말레이시아 할랄 수출, 이제 공식 채널이 생겼다— 한·말레이시아 할랄 엑셀런스 컨소시엄 2026 공식 출범
한국 기업의 말레이시아 할랄 수출, 이제 공식 채널이 생겼다— 한·말레이시아 할랄 엑셀런스 컨소시엄 2026 공식 출범
말레이시아 할랄 시장 진출을 원하는 한국 기업들이 그동안 겪어온 문제는 한 가지로 수렴된다. 공식적이고 신뢰할 수 있는 진입 창구가 없었다는 것. 인증 요건에 대한 오해, 비공식 브로커 의존, 부정확한 정보, 인증 탈락, 통관 리스크 — 이 모든 문제의 근원이다.
팀에잇파트너스는 이 구조적 공백을 해소하기 위해 한·말레이시아 할랄 엑셀런스 컨소시엄 2026(Korea–Malaysia Halal Excellence Consortium 2026) 을 공식 출범시켰다.
■ 한국 기업의 JAKIM 할랄인증과 말레이시아 수출을 위한 공식 협력 체계
말레이시아 측에는 말레이시아 국제할랄아카데미(MIHA) 공식 전략 파트너 기관인 Global Haltech과 Iktisad Global이 참여한다. 한국 측은 팀에잇파트너스(대표 김희선)가 공식 주관·운영을 맡는다.
이는 말레이시아 할랄 생태계의 핵심 기관들이 한국 기업의 수출 구조를 전제로 공식 파트너십을 체결한 최초의 사례다.
■ 할랄 엑셀런스 컨소시엄의 핵심 기능
단순한 정보 교류나 교류 행사가 아니다. 한국 기업의 제품·성분·제조 공정·서류를 JAKIM 기준에 사전 진단하고, 가장 빠르고 정확한 인증 및 시장 진입 경로를 설계하는 것이 핵심 목적이다.
■ 2026년 서울 말레이시아-한국 할랄 콘퍼런스 개최 예정
컨소시엄의 첫 번째 공식 프로그램으로, 말레이시아-한국 할랄 엑셀런스 콘퍼런스 2026이 2026년 상반기 서울에서 개최될 예정이다. 말레이시아 주요 할랄 기관 고위급 대표단이 직접 참석하여 아래 주제의 실무 중심 세션을 진행한다.
JAKIM 인증 구조와 국제 인정 시스템의 실제 운영
할랄 사이언스 기반 성분 검증 프로세스
한국 기업 대상 사전심사 및 감사 가이드라인
인증 후 ASEAN·중동 수출·유통 구조
말레이시아 정부·공공 지원 프로그램 소개
콘퍼런스 이후에는 교육 → 사전진단 → 인증 → OEM 연계 → 유통 → MIHAS 참가로 이어지는 중장기 할랄 수출 파이프라인을 단계적으로 구축할 계획이다.

Korea–Malaysia Halal Excellence Consortium 2026 Officially Launch
Establishing a JAKIM-Based Halal Certification and Export Framework for Korean Companies
An official bilateral halal cooperation platform jointly involving Korea and Malaysia, the Korea–Malaysia Halal Excellence Consortium 2026 (the “Consortium”), has been formally launched.
The Consortium brings together leading Malaysian halal institutions, including Global Haltech and Iktisad Global, both official strategic partners of the Malaysia International Halal Academy (MIHA). On the Korean side, the Consortium is officially hosted and organised by Team8 Partners, led by CEO Sunny Kim.
In recent years, a growing number of Korean companies—particularly in K-Food and K-Beauty—have sought entry into Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets. However, in practice, many have faced repeated challenges, including misunderstandings of certification requirements, reliance on unofficial brokers, inaccurate information, certification failures, and customs clearance risks.
Despite the fact that JAKIM halal certification is widely recognised as one of the most trusted standards in the global halal market, Korea has lacked an official, practical, and execution-focused gateway through which companies could properly understand and strategically apply JAKIM standards.
The Consortium was established to address this structural gap. Moving beyond simple information sharing or exchanges, its core objective is to pre-diagnose Korean companies’ products, ingredients, manufacturing processes, and documentation against JAKIM standards, and to design the fastest and most accurate certification and market-entry pathways.
For this initiative, Team8 Partners conducted prior consultations with MIHA’s official strategic partner institutions in Malaysia and has completed formal participation confirmations and agreement procedures with all participating organisations. This marks the first case in which key institutions within Malaysia’s halal ecosystem have entered into an official partnership premised on the export structures of Korean companies.
Sunny Kim, CEO of Team8 Partners, stated:
“JAKIM halal is not merely a religious symbol; it is an internationally recognised compliance standard that has already been validated in global markets. This Consortium is designed to help Korean companies accurately assess where their products stand, without costly trial and error, and to identify the most realistic and effective routes forward.”
She added:
“From the perspective of Korean companies, we will focus on creating practical pathways that minimise time and cost, while ensuring that certification leads directly to real export and distribution opportunities.”
First Official Conference to Be Held in Seoul in 2026
The Consortium’s first official programme will be the Malaysia–Korea Halal Excellence Conference 2026 (working title), scheduled to take place in Seoul in the second quarter of 2026.
Senior delegations from Malaysia’s key halal institutions will attend in person to deliver practice-oriented sessions, including:
The practical operation of JAKIM certification structures and international recognition systems
Technology and ingredient verification processes based on Halal Science
Pre-screening and audit guidelines for Korean companies
Post-certification export and distribution structures for ASEAN and Middle Eastern markets
Introductions to Malaysian government and public-sector support programmes
Following the conference, the Consortium plans to progressively establish a mid- to long-term halal export pipeline, encompassing education, pre-diagnosis, certification, OEM linkage, distribution, and participation in MIHAS.
Comments from Malaysian Partner Institutions

“Based on our expertise in halal science and ISO 17025-level laboratory capabilities, Global Haltech provides integrated solutions that systematically strengthen corporate compliance structures.

“Through this Consortium, Iktisad is honoured to contribute to the establishment of stable, standards-based halal certification and trade structures within the Korean market.”
In line with the Consortium’s launch, Team8 Partners will begin a series of pre-briefings and phased registration processes for Korean food, beauty, OEM companies, as well as relevant government and affiliated institutions.
