🇫🇷🇰🇭 Strengthening the bridge between France and Cambodia through innovation and entrepreneurship.

Last week, members of La French Tech Cambodge Phnom Penh had the privilege of attending a reception at the Residence of France in Phnom Penh, hosted by H.E. Olivier Richard, Ambassador of France to Cambodia, on the occasion of the visit of Nicolas Forissier, French Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade and French Nationals Abroad.

This gathering provided an opportunity to discuss economic cooperation between France and Cambodia, from trade and investment to the growing role of innovation and entrepreneurship, as Cambodia prepares to host the 20th Francophonie Summit this November.

We were delighted to see members of our community represented at this event, including Cedric KANG, Jannine Sem, Suntheary DM, Maximilien Avia Grolier, Laurine CHATEAU, Eva Berlinson.

A sincere thank you to the Ambassade de France au Cambodge for the invitation.

🇫🇷 𝙊𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙚 𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙩 2026 🇰🇭

La French Tech Cambodge Phnom Penh brought the people shaping Cambodian tech together for a Tech Talk.

A room of founders, investors, students and ecosystem leaders, filled to capacity at Aquation Phnom Penh Theater, The Last Stage, in Koh Pich - កោះពេជ្រ

We were deeply honored to welcome Her Excellency Ratha CHEA, MBA, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Commerce, and His Excellency KIM KHORN LONG, Chairman of Federation of Cambodian Startups (CamStartup).

Opened by our Co-Presidents Cedric KANG and Thierry Tea, the evening turned on one question: "Apps for Emerging Markets. In the age of AI, how do we build from Cambodia?" To explore it, founders shared what they're building here, then a panel got into the realities behind it. The discussion moved from talent and funding to cybersecurity and regional growth.

A sincere thank you to those who brought the evening to life:

🎙️ Speakers :
Hélène Quintin & Sebastien Lacan — Co-founders, THE MAP (TravelTech for Southeast Asia)
Seng Rothsethamony — Co-founder & CEO, Bamnang Holdings Pte. Ltd. (EdTech × PropTech superapp)

🎉 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.

Our first 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗼𝗳 2026 - 𝑨𝒑𝒑𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑬𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒕𝒔 - exceeded every expectation — over 150 people filled the room at The Last Stage, Koh Pich, to kick off our new Executive Board. New faces, familiar ones, and the kind of energy that reminds you why this community exists.

The evening unfolded in two acts:

🎤 Four founders shared their journeys building apps in Cambodia. Thanks Hélène Quintin & Sebastien Lacan (The Map), Rothsethamony SENG (Bamnang) & Laurine CHATEAU (Umami)
— real stories, the kind that resonate deeply when you've walked a similar path.

💬 A panel of local tech actors dove into what it really takes to build and grow a company here — from talent to market dynamics to what it means to think beyond borders.
Thanks to our moderator Sivhuang Lay (Dichi Academy) and our panelists:
Phanith Sokha (Techo Startup Center), Vantharith Oum 🚀🇰🇭 (Plug N Play), Chan AmrithVatey Kim (NewWave), Thierry Ngon (RedBridge) & Kevin SABBE (Skai Technology)
Three takeaways stayed with us:
→ Small market, big potential — size shouldn't be a barrier to building great startups,
→ Tech talent is growing, but education and training must keep pace,
→ Taking Cambodian businesses global is a key lever to attract investors.

We wrapped the evening with a lively cocktail — where, honestly, some of the best conversations happened.

Massive thanks to our Sponsors OCIC - Aquation Phnom Penh - SBI - Data | AI | EPM for their continued support.

Thanks to all the participants ! The community is growing. The momentum is real. And we're already looking forward to the next one. 🚀
