Promoting the Attraction of Japanese companies to Cambodia

 
As Japan and Cambodia elevate their relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, a new wave of opportunities is emerging for Japanese businesses in one of ASEAN’s fastest-growing economies. With Cambodia actively seeking to diversify its economy and Japanese companies showing rising interest, from major manufacturers to dynamic startups, the moment is the high time for deeper collaboration. This study which was launched in July 2024 uncovers key growth sectors like automobiles, electronics, agriculture, and food processing, and offers a roadmap to unlock Cambodia’s full investment potential. Backed by real-world insights from over 50 interviews and policy dialogue at the highest-level including Cambodia-Japan Public-Private Sector Meeting, the study reveals not only the challenges but also the “game changers” ready to transform the country’s business landscape. Together with strategic actions in talent development, logistics, clean energy, and regulatory reform, Cambodia has positioned itself as a compelling, long-term destination for Japanese investors ready to lead the next frontier of growth.
