The forum will feature eight industry specialists offering perspectives on sectors central to Cambodia’s growth trajectory: energy; finance and banking; fast-moving consumer goods; logistics; real estate; garments; recycling; and tourism. Together, these industries span production, consumption, infrastructure, sustainability, and services—areas that collectively reflect the country’s broader economic direction.

By assembling diverse sectors in a single forum, the IBC aims to provide participants with a more holistic understanding of how pressures and opportunities in one industry may influence others, from supply chains and financing to workforce availability and consumer demand.

From macro pressures to operational realities

Discussions are expected to focus on practical implications for 2026, including how businesses are responding to evolving cost structures, access to finance, regulatory expectations, and sustainability requirements. Speakers are also expected to outline where they see growth opportunities emerging, particularly as Cambodia continues to integrate into regional value chains and attract new forms of investment.

Rather than long-term forecasting, the format emphasizes near-term outlooks and actionable insight, giving attendees a clearer sense of how industry leaders are positioning their organizations for the year ahead.

Networking, access, and event details

The Industry View and Outlook for 2026 will run from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, with registration opening at 11:30 AM. Attendance includes a three-course lunch, reinforcing the event’s role as both a knowledge-sharing and relationship-building platform.

Ticket prices are set at $35 for IBC members and $55 for non-members, with a walk-in rate of $65. Registration is available through the IBC’s official online form.

As Cambodia enters 2026 with both uncertainty and opportunity on the horizon, the IBC’s annual outlook forum offers businesses a chance to benchmark expectations, exchange perspectives across sectors, and strengthen connections within the country’s evolving business community.
