Bandung, August 27 — The 11th International Islamic Economic System Conference (I-iECONS 2025) continued its success with a two-day physical conference held on 27–28 August 2025 at Universitas Islam Bandung (UNISBA), Indonesia.
Following the earlier online session hosted by Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) on 20 August, the physical event brought together academicians, researchers, and industry professionals from various countries to exchange ideas and present findings on the theme “Digitalization, Innovation, and Sustainable Development Through Islamic Economics.”
Organised jointly by the Faculty of Economics and Muamalat (FEM), USIM, and UNISBA, the conference received more than 150 paper submissions across its online and physical components. The event was mainly sponsored by Maybank Islamic Berhad, reflecting strong industry support for advancing research and collaboration in Islamic economic studies.
Throughout the two-day programme, participants engaged in parallel sessions and plenary discussions covering a wide range of topics, including Islamic banking and finance, accounting and corporate governance, business and management, halal industry, and Islamic social finance. The discussions centred on how digitalisation and innovation can drive sustainable development while remaining grounded in the ethical and moral principles of Islamic economics.
The conference also showcased collaborative research efforts between Malaysian and Indonesian scholars, highlighting the strengthening of regional networks and academic partnerships within Southeast Asia. The hybrid implementation of I-iECONS 2025, combining online and physical participation, allowed for broader engagement and inclusivity among global participants.
As the conference concluded, it reaffirmed I-iECONS’s role as a significant international platform for the advancement of Islamic economic systems. By promoting dialogue on digital transformation, innovation, and sustainability, the conference continues to contribute to shaping a more resilient and equitable global economy guided by Islamic values.
