The GIH will position Cambodia as a key player in global research and development (R&D), attracting international talent and investment. The hub will provide world-class facilities for research in areas like renewable energy, green technologies, digital transformation, and biotechnology, among others. Cambodia will not only become a regional leader but also an essential contributor to the global knowledge economy.
Key features include:
•Advanced R&D Infrastructure: The GIH will be equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories, innovation centers, and collaborative spaces that enable both local and international researchers to work on breakthrough technologies.
•Partnerships with Global Institutions: The GIH will foster partnerships with leading global universities, tech companies, and research institutions, ensuring a continuous exchange of knowledge, expertise, and resources. These collaborations will help develop solutions to pressing global issues like climate change, public health, and energy security.
•Innovation-Driven Talent Pool: By 2030, Cambodia will have cultivated a highly skilled, innovation-driven workforce. Through educational initiatives, skill development programs, and internships, the GIH will empower local talent to participate in and contribute to the global innovation economy.

Supporting Sustainable Development
The GIH will be a model for sustainable development, integrating green technologies and eco-friendly practices across all sectors. By promoting clean energy, zero-waste manufacturing, and resource-efficient industrial processes, the hub will contribute to Cambodia’s ambitious environmental goals while supporting global sustainability efforts. Specific initiatives include:
• Green Energy Solutions: The GIH will promote the adoption of renewable energy technologies such as solar, wind, and biomass energy, powering the hub’s facilities and contributing to Cambodia’s energy transition. By 2030, the GIH aims to operate entirely on clean energy, demonstrating the feasibility of zero-carbon industrial zones.
• Circular Economy Practices: The GIH will implement circular economy principles, where waste materials from one industry become inputs for another. This closed-loop system will minimize waste, reduce environmental impact, and lower production costs for businesses.
• Smart City Technologies: As a hub of innovation, the GIH will pioneer smart city solutions such as intelligent transport systems, energy-efficient buildings, and data-driven urban management, which can be applied across Cambodia’s growing urban areas.
