Introducing **Christmas @ Raintree v2.0**
Christmas @ Raintree is back for an even bigger second edition after the blast we had last year! We often get asked why we have this event, and why we even celebrate Christmas at all? Although Team Raintree likes any excuse to party, there is a real reason. Raintree aspires to build a creative, collaborative professional community - that means we work and play together. It’s the one time of the year where we bring together absolutely everyone from our wider community - partners, tenants, friends and family (including the kids!).

This year is a wrap! Raintree reviews 2017
After a hectic start to 2017, we’ve had a chance to reflect on what has been one crazzzy year. The team hit some big milestones with our design and construction completed in just 12 months, launching the development in autumn and finally our grand opening last December. It has been a rollercoaster ride filled with both challenges, learnings and accomplishments. Take a look at our review of 2017 here.
It’s almost here… Countdown to **Christmas @ Raintree**
With just 8 days to go, Team Raintree have turned into veritable Santa’s elves in preparation for our biggest party this year. From artists to musicians to mixologists, our Canopy is a hive of Christmas activity ahead of our event on the 1st and 2nd of December. To maximise the merriment, we have some of the best eats in town who will be cooking and stirring up a storm for you all weekend. Have a look at the run down of treats below, along with some of the fun activities we have in store for our family fun day (Saturday 2nd December).
** Christmas @ Raintree ** is here!
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.
Why education matters to everybody, especially Raintree
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.
Never a Dull Moment at Raintree’s Launch
