The Siem Reap provincial administration and Nippon Koei have discussed the progress of the Siem Reap Smart City development project.

The discussion was held on Thursday 17 February between Siem Reap Deputy Governor Ly Samrith and Mr Yoshikazu UBUKATA, Team Leader of Nippon Koei for MaaS Digital Platform.

The meeting focused on the plan to include the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) digital platform as part of the Siem Reap smart city development. MaaS is an emerging type of service that, through a joint digital channel enables users to plan, book, and pay for multiple types of mobility services.

Meanwhile, the meeting also updated the feasibility study result of the project and future strategy.

The study is being conducted by Toyota Tusho and Nippon Koei under the fund of the JETRO ASEAN Digital transformation initiative.
