Digitalization Assessment in Cambodia

Consulting project for Digitalization of the Regional Economic Development Programme

Pegotec proudly begins by celebrating a successful consulting project. Firstly, this project focused on digitalizing Cambodia’s Regional Economic Development Programme. Serving as partners of GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit), we subsequently took the lead in analyzing Cambodia’s digital industry. Utilizing our expertise and commitment, we began an extensive research process, applying proven methodologies. Consequently, this enabled us to identify innovative technologies that could support the program’s objectives. Ultimately, through rigorous and thorough technology research, we provided pivotal insights and recommendations that sparked growth in Cambodia’s digital sector.

Background: Boosting Cambodia’s Competitiveness Through Digitalization

GIZ’s Regional Economic Development Programme aims to enhance the competitiveness and productivity of Cambodia’s SMEs. This program addresses challenges such as limited economic diversification, low value-added production, and a narrow manufacturing base. By focusing on sectors such as food processing, light industry manufacturing, and tourism, the program aims to promote growth. Additionally, it promotes skill development through TVET, encouraging collaboration between SMEs and TVET institutions.

Objectives: Unleashing the Potential of Digitalization in Cambodia

Our objective was to comprehensively analyze Cambodia’s digital sector, uncovering the possibilities and necessities of adopting a digital-by-default approach for the program. We aimed to identify digital applications and trends to drive productivity and enhance competitiveness within Cambodia’s unique context. By exploring the digital landscape, we aimed to identify transformative technologies and innovative strategies that could drive Cambodia’s economic growth and empower businesses in the digital era.

Approach and Scope of Work: Unveiling the Digital Transformation Landscape

Pegotec conducted extensive research to achieve our goals, thoroughly exploring Cambodia’s digital technology landscape. Our analysis identified various sustainable, reliable, and feasible technologies suitable for implementation. We meticulously evaluated multiple fields in modern IT, including blockchain, augmented reality/virtual reality, extensive data analysis, artificial intelligence, and more. Each technology underwent careful assessment, considering factors such as growth potential, ease of implementation, short lead time, low upfront investment, and alignment with GIZ’s areas of intervention. As a result, we have curated a selection of technologies primed to drive digital transformation and support the objectives of the Regional Economic Development Programme.

Results and Impact: Paving the Way for a Digital Renaissance

Our comprehensive analysis culminated in a detailed report, empowering GIZ with a roadmap of recommended digital technologies and applications for the Regional Economic Development Programme. This report highlighted technologies with significant growth potential over a minimum of 15 years, ensuring long-term sustainability. Moreover, our recommendations prioritized practicality, feasibility, and alignment with GIZ’s areas of intervention.

By initially embracing our insights, GIZ can spearhead the adoption of cutting-edge technologies among Cambodian SMEs, fostering productivity and bridging gaps between firms. Consequently, this digital transformation is expected to drive the growth of Cambodia’s digital industry. Ultimately, this will propel economic development, reducing employment imbalances and income inequalities.
