We partnered with STEM Cambodia to host the 17th Annual Cambodia STEM Festival in Phnom Penh to promote STEM education. Over 10,000 students took part in the festival, with 13,000 physical visitors and over 200,000 engaging digitally.
The festival showcased gender equality and environmental sustainability, with 63% female volunteers and eco- friendly practices.
We held the flagship SmartEdu University Student Development Program (SmartEdu USDP), an intensive bootcamp in Phnom Penh that grooms Cambodia’s next generation of corporate leaders.
The program nurtures values and critical skills necessary for resilient corporate digital leadership while equipping participants with the ability to overcome challenges and seize opportunities in rapidly evolving digital environments.
Together with the Institute of Technology of Cambodia, we organized the Techno Preincubation Program to equip students with essential skills for innovation and entrepreneurship. By fostering a competitive yet collaborative environment, we ignited a passion for technology among Cambodia’s youth. In 2023 alone, we reached 135 students, contributing to the nation’s growing tech ecosystem.
Over 70% of the participants were under 25 years old. Half of the teams were either founded or led by women, and 56% of the participants were female. Eight teams were operating in Phnom Penh, while one team was based in Battambang province and another was operating from Siem Reap province.
Of the 10 startups, eight are active, with their team members working full-time on the business, while two are partially active, as their members are still in school.
