For the first time since opening, we’re inviting everyone up to the Raintree rooftop for some Cambodian Christmas cheer. We’ll be transforming the Canopy and the Crown into a festival filled with food, pop-up stalls, music and laughter. Find out more about our awesome pop-up vendors, brands and entrepreneurs in this first of two blog features.
Cambodia riding the Valley wave?
Cambodia has seen a sharp rise in entrepreneurial and tech competitions over the past decade. They come in various forms, from one-day pitches, two-day hackathons, to several rounds over several months. They also target different demographics from as early as secondary school students, through more mature business professionals. While venture capital is still in its infancy in Cambodia (at least by the Silicon Valley definition), competitions are a positive sign of things to come. Here's an overview of some of the startup competitions in Cambodia that Raintree has been excited to engage with this year.

Recently, we've noticed that education has been the centre of many activities and events in Phnom Penh. From various schools to public and private organisations, there has been a lot of energy in trying to improve educational outcomes through various initiatives. Such initiatives are critical to building momentum to innovate new solutions within the sector. For educators and non-educators, here's a few of the programmes in the city by a multitude of organisations.
