French investment in Cambodia has surged to a combined value of €560 million (approximately US$600 million), significantly impacting the construction, agro-industry, and services sectors, according to a report from the French Embassy to Cambodia on Friday. This announcement was made in conjunction with the signing of the second France Cambodia Business Forum, scheduled from 8 to 10 July 2024 in Cambodia.

The investments and the robust French presence in Cambodia are supported by over 400 French enterprises, subsidiaries of large groups, and a dynamic network of French companies abroad.

The upcoming business forum aims to bring together members of the French business community in Cambodia along with representatives from French companies established in the region. Participants will explore opportunities and deepen their understanding of the Cambodian market.

The forum will cover diverse sectors including construction and infrastructure, digital technology, health, energy, town planning, tourism, logistics and transport, agriculture and agri-food, as well as sustainable development and the environment.
