SUPPORTING YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS

There are a growing number of initiatives made available by the government, development partners and the private sector to promote entrepreneurship development. Some of these programmes (incubators and accelerators) have previously been designed to accelerate success of tech startups and businesses. Recent evidence suggests that initiatives and innovation projects to tackle social and environmental issues have increasingly benefited from such models, leading some development organizations to adopt and combine such approaches with traditional ones to support different demographics of entrepreneurs and startups at various stages. With the growing number of entrepreneurship activities, UNDP Cambodia has set out to develop an incubator and accelerator guidebook to create transparency on activities happening within the startup ecosystem, customized for Cambodia.
