Startup Cambodia
Startup News Asia’s quarterly round-up of Cambodia’s startup news, spanning April, May and June 2020.
Each item listed here is a technology-focused or startup news headline from Q2 2020 connected with Cambodia’s startup ecosystem in some way, whether an announcement by a startup around a product, pivot or funding, or an article detailing a likely impact on Cambodia’s startup space.
The focus, obviously, is on Cambodia, but wider-world tech and startup news headlines are included where useful as points-of-reference, food for thought for Cambodian startups, or to provide additional industry knowledge.
