Cambodia is enhancing its regional connectivity through significant infrastructure investments under its Intermodal Transport Masterplan 2021-2030. The development of Techo International Airport in Phnom Penh and the 190-kilometre expressway connecting the capital to Sihanoukville port city represent key projects strengthening the country's logistics capabilities. These developments, alongside expanding road networks and logistics hubs, aim to reduce transportation costs and improve supply chain efficiency, strengthening Cambodia’s connectivity within Southeast Asia.

Cambodia is advancing its digital transformation with internet penetration surpassing half its the population, the country has developed a growing digital ecosystem spanning digital payments (Bakong, Pi Pay), delivery services (Nham24, GrabFood), and ride-hailing platforms (Grab, PassApp). This digital momentum, backed by government support, creates opportunities for Singapore technology companies to provide digital solutions and infrastructure expertise.

Cambodia's young demographic profile, with 50% of its population under 25, combined with rising household incomes, is driving strong demand for education services.
The growing emphasis on employability has spurred rapid expansion in higher education and vocational training, supported by private sector and international investments.
Learn about Cambodia's business hubs

As the capital, Phnom Penh is known as the commercial, economic, and political hub of Cambodia. Phnom Penh has been experiencing rapid urbanisation and industrial development over the past decade with the growth of new shopping malls, mixed-use developments, and hotels, which serve as potential landing points for Singapore businesses.

Since 2017, Sihanoukville has seen rapid development, largely due to skyrocketing tourism and foreign investment from China. The city is “a landmark project” in China’s One Belt, One Road initiative due to its strategic location.

Siem Reap is known as the unofficial tourist capital of the country and is home to a UNESCO heritage site, the Angkor Wat Archaeological Park. The Tonle Sap in Siem Reap is an integral ecological hub in Cambodia and the largest freshwater lake in SEA, vital to agriculture, eco-tourism, and fishing.
