UniSC paves the way for Cambodian-Australian agri-business connections

A University of the Sunshine Coast-led initiative is helping enable trade, investment and networking between Australia and Cambodia, one of East Asia’s fastest growing economies.

UniSC’s Centre for International Development, Social Entrepreneurship and Leadership (CIDSEL) was engaged to assist Royal Government of Cambodia officials and agri-business leaders to connect with key Australian investors, buyers, wholesalers, government agencies and business associations.

CIDSEL general manager Tami Harriott said a recent two-week study mission involved a series of official visits by delegates to national trade sites, investor networking roundtables, panel discussions and meetings with chambers of commerce and industry and other key stakeholders in Canberra, Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.

“These different initiatives served as a fundamental engagement and collaboration opportunity, connecting individuals and nations to positively impact in the economy heavily hit by COVID-19,” Ms Harriott said.

This program is part of Australia’s flagship economic development program, Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED).

The five-year Australian Government initiative aims to support the Royal Government of Cambodia and other relevant counterparts to develop policies that drive inclusive, resilient, and sustainable economic growth.

“This program focuses on improving all aspects of policies and financial incentives for investment, especially for women-led enterprises and marginalised groups, making UniSC an important agent in this bilateral initiative,” Ms Harriot said.
