Phnom penh: The Cambodia Data eXchange (CamDX)’s operator held a workshop on ‘Cambodia Data eXchange (CamDX) Ecosystem’ aiming to raise awareness and encourage greater use of digital products within the CamDX ecosystem. The event took place at Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel and was presided over by H.E. Dr. Kong Marry, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Economy and Finance and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Techo Startup Centre, with around 150 participants from relevant ministries, the private sector, and development partners.
According to Agence Kampuchea Presse, the workshop began with a welcoming speech by H.E. Dr. Taing Nguonly, Executive Director of Techo Startup Centre, followed by an official opening speech by H.E. Dr. Kong Marry. The workshop’s objectives were to enhance understanding of the Royal Government of Cambodia’s achievements and mechanisms in using CamDX effectively and efficiently, and to promote and expand the use of existing digital products within the CamDX ecosystem.
The event also aimed to disseminate information widely and clearly to allow public and private stakeholders to obtain maximum advantage from CamDX and to encourage ministries and public institutions to share and exchange data (Open Data) via CamDX to improve business-related public services delivery. H.E. Dr. Taing Nguonly highlighted that CamDX has strengthened and expanded its functions to provide public services for businesses related to licensing, certificates, permits, and administrative services such as e-KYC, e-KYB, and other digital services.
As of the end of September 2025, total transactions on the CamDX platform amounted to over 95 million transactions, with a total of 80 ministries and institutions (33 members from the public sector and 47 members from the private sector) having joined the CamDX platform. Nearly 50,000 companies have received business registration approvals with a total investment capital of over US$19 billion, and more than 57,000 licenses, permits, and certificates have been issued.
In line with the strategy for the development of E-Services for Businesses (ESB) 2025-2028, the Royal Government of Cambodia has urged relevant ministries and institutions to digitalize 80 percent of high priority public services for businesses or approximately 700 services in the ESB Ecosystem via the CamDX platform. The workshop also encouraged ministries and public institutions that manage base registries to participate in data sharing through the CamDX ecosystem.
The workshop highlighted the importance of engaging key actors from both public and private sectors in exchanging and sharing data within the CamDX ecosystem, contributing to economic growth, especially the API economy and digital society in Cambodia.
