Green and Digital Sectors
Many countries in the world are accelerating the shift toward sustainability as well as transforming how economies grow, how businesses operate, and how services are delivered. At the heart of this transition, the green and digital sectors are becoming key drivers of long-term growth, resilience, and competitiveness. This evolving trend positions Cambodia as an attractive destination for forward-looking investment. Strategic location, young and tech-savvy workforce, rising demand for sustainable solutions, strong government support, untapped market potential and a favorable regulatory environment further enhance Cambodia’s appeal. Cambodia’s strategic advantages have attracted leading companies in solar, data center development, and EV manufacturing and assembly to invest in Cambodia’s green and digital sectors. Therefore, for investors seeking positive impact, innovation, and long-term growth, Cambodia’s green and digital sectors offer a strategic opportunity.
Cambodia is emerging as a promising destination for green investment, offering numerous opportunities. Cambodia possesses abundant solar and hydropower potential, making it an attractive location for investment in clean and renewable energy projects. Rapid urbanization and increasing consumption have also created significant demand for modern waste management solutions, presenting various investment opportunities including solid waste recycling, waste-to-energy initiatives, plastic reduction technologies, and circular economy. With a growing industrial base and a supportive ecosystem, the manufacturing and assembly of electric vehicles (EVs) present another high-potential sector for investors. Additionally, Cambodia’s supportive policy and strong commitment to carbon neutrality—reflected in Cambodia’s Long-Term Strategy for Carbon Neutrality—further enhance the sector’s potential and unlock attractive investment opportunities in energy efficiency, carbon capture technologies, and climate change mitigation and adaptation solutions.
Cambodia is also emerging as an attractive destination for digital investment, driven by a young, tech-savvy population and expanding internet access. Rapid urbanization and a growing middle class are driving the need for smarter logistics, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure. Moreover, the demand for reliable and secure data centers is rising as businesses and government agencies migrate to cloud-based services and digital operations. Cambodia’s supportive policy and the government’s commitment to digital transformation—reflected in the Cambodia Digital Economy and Society Policy Framework 2021 – 2035 —further strengthen the sector’s potential. Opportunities also exist in areas such as cybersecurity, software development, and ICT-enabled services. For investors seeking long-term growth and innovation, Cambodia’s digital sector offers compelling prospects in a fast-developing market.
