After decades of steady economic development, Cambodia has successfully drawn attentions from foreign entrepreneurs.

Its capital city Phnom Penh, for instance, has been selected to host the 2017 World Economic Forum (WEF) on East Asia.

Ms. Sophari, spokesman from WEF’s head office in Switzerland said that Cambodia can be chosen as a role model among the less developed countries. Nevertheless, Cambodia still has some challenges to tackle, such as low productivity, rising labor cost and small manufacturing coverage now mostly confined to garment and food processing.

To address these problems, the government is moving to expand and upgrade its manufacturing structure by soliciting more sophisticated manufacturers to invest in the country. In this regard, upgrading machinery equipment is also among the most effective solutions to boosting the overall production capacity.

By visiting CIMIF & CTG, one can source a wide spectrum of quality industrial machines, keep informed of the latest industrial developments, and partner with key industry players. It’s certainly the best opportunity to help access the global value chain and jump on the bandwagon of joining the development of a technology-driven and knowledge-based industry.

The twin shows will be held from 26 to 29 August at Di0amond Island Convention & Exhibition Center (Koh Pich).
