Connecting Cambodia to Global Expertise
The Centre for the Development of the Cambodian Economy (CDE) is a key initiative that aims to promote economic development in Cambodia. One of the most significant aspects of the CDE is its focus on connecting Cambodia to global expertise. By collaborating with the EU and international organisations, the centre will provide Cambodian businesses and policymakers with access to cutting-edge knowledge and best practices.
Building Partnerships with the EU and International Organisations
The CDE will establish partnerships with the EU and other international organisations to leverage their expertise and resources. These partnerships will enable Cambodian businesses to tap into the EU’s vast network of experts, researchers, and policymakers. For instance, the CDE can collaborate with the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme, which provides funding for research and innovation projects. By partnering with the EU, Cambodian businesses can access funding, expertise, and market access to drive their growth and competitiveness. Key benefits of partnering with the EU and international organisations: + Access to cutting-edge knowledge and best practices + Funding and resources for research and innovation projects + Market access and trade opportunities + Expertise and guidance from experienced policymakers and researchers
Fostering Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing
The CDE will also foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among Cambodian businesses, policymakers, and international experts. This will enable the sharing of best practices, experiences, and expertise, leading to more effective economic development strategies. For example, the CDE can establish a network of business incubators and accelerators, which will provide a platform for entrepreneurs to access funding, mentorship, and expertise.
