The second panel discussion theme is “The Entrepreneurs, creating a Business Mode and Launching a Business”, and will be moderated by David Sok Dara Marshall, Group CFO of ISI Group and includes the market’s leading entrepreneurs; Parth Borkotoky (CEO Azaylla), Borima Chann (Co-Founder and CEO of Nham 24), Vichet In (CE0 of GroupIn), Ms Ratana Phurik-Callebaut, and Richard Yim (President of Quantum Engineering and Manufacturing Company).

The AmCham President added: “I expect over the next five years, Cambodians will seek diversification in investments beyond cash, real estate, commodities, and currencies. Stocks, bonds, and funds will be attractive as additions to their portfolios.

This is an opportune event to understand the mechanism of the exchange, how it’s regulated, how companies can list in Cambodia, and the practicalities of investing in publically traded investments.”

Finally, some of the Kingdom’s greatest entrepreneurial success stories will take you through their journey from idea, to business modelling, seeking capital, and establishing and growing a business from scratch. It will be one of the most exciting investment forums of the year and I am delighted AmCham has arranged this event.”
