Hi-Tech Manufacturing Industries
The MPSEZ can utilized to boost Cambodia’s manufacturing sector. The textile and garment industries should focus on adding more value by improving export processing and Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM). Additionally, new OEM operations should be set up in areas like machinery, equipment, electronics, and building materials within the province.
Electronic Information Industry
To develop consumer products, such as household appliances and electronic equipment at the starting point, to gradually move forward to complete machine assembly, and finally accumulate enough capacity to produce value-added electronic products, to further extend automotive electronics manufacturing to a complete chain of automotive industry.
The automotive industry in Cambodia has already established a foundation by embedding into regional auto parts industrial chain. Preah Sihanouk Province has the potential to further develop and improve its automotive industry to meet the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EV).
R&D for the Hi-Tech Manufacturing
To support the development of high-tech manufacturing, it is recommended to establish a Fabrication Laboratory (Fab Lab). The laboratory will provide the capability to create prototypes of products, test new ideas and innovations, and develop new technologies, as well as electronics devices and robots. As the electric automotive is an important development trend in the hi-tech manufacturing, it is suggested to establish an Automotive Research Center. The Center can focus on the electrification research and automotive parts improvement. It is also recommended to establish an Electronic Information Research Center focusing on the electronic parts improvement and new devices R&D. Besides, the Lab-Enterprise Cooperation Center could be established to further provide the place for specialists and professors to transfer the prototypes into the new mass-produced products and devices which can update the production lines of the manufacturing enterprises.
