Cambodia Investment Review
Khmer Enterprise hosted the E-Friend & SMEs Meet-Up for Market and Funding with Enterprise Vision Academy, a key program under Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Campaign 2025, bringing together entrepreneurs, SMEs, banks, investors, and market operators to strengthen market access and promote sustainable business growth.
The meeting served as a dynamic platform for entrepreneurs and SMEs to exchange knowledge, engage in discussions, and build business networks with financial institutions, investors, and market operators.
Through knowledge-sharing sessions, panel discussions, and networking activities, participating entrepreneurs gained practical insights on export readiness, financing opportunities, and strategies for developing professional and business branding to enhance their ability and effectively present their potential to business partners, banks, and investors.
H.E. Dr. Chhieng Vanmunin, Delegate of the Royal Government in charge as CEO of Khmer Enterprise states that,
“The Royal Government of Cambodia, through Khmer Enterprise, continues to promote market entry for potential provincial SMEs by providing a platform that connects them with major market operators, financial institutions, and investment groups. This initiative aims to further strengthen the capacity and standards of products and services, enabling SMEs to compete in both national and international markets.”
Mrs. Veal Helene, Co-Founder of Enterprise Vision Academy, emphasized that: “Entrepreneurs often struggle with loneliness and limited support networks.

Beyond business growth, it fosters trust, emotional support, and continuous learning, helping entrepreneurs build resilience and compete confidently in the marketplace.”
