About

Building the ecosystem

AVPN is building the ecosystem for social investors with an active presence in Cambodia - from foundations and impact funds to corporations, intermediaries and beyond.
 
One of the fastest growing emerging economies in the world, Cambodia has been ranked as one of the least developed countries, so has a strong investment landscape potential. With a strong social sector and government support Cambodia has become a world leader in reducing poverty. Political stability gains have meant investment in Cambodia is ready to be unleashed. However, the strength of labour is weak, and so much potential for Cambodia is still dormant, worker rights have much room for improvement and domestic demand has significant under-utilized capacity.

Development of Eco Friendly Ozone Sterilization by the Microplasma-Based Technology

By CAST., CO, Ltd.

Ozone sterilization with the microplasma technology can be used for all industries that require eco-friendly disinfecting method especially food storage, drinking water disinfection and space disinfection. The technology has great impact because this method does not require any chemical products such as chlorine or strong acids. It only uses ozone and radicals for disinfecting material and it is generated from oxygen in the air and by plasma technology. After the ozone and radicals kill bacterias and viruses, it goes back to oxygen again. This advanced sterilizing technology can directly apply to any countries but it is more beneficial to the developing countries.

Building strategic social investment

Cultural sites in Cambodia are in need of protection and local businesses are in need of domestic demand. The social enterprise sector has enormous growth, hence investment return, potential. Expanding human rights is a major impact area that can help Cambodia realize it’s full productive capacity, coupled also with more investment in high-tech for farming and sustainable agriculture. Textiles and garments lead Cambodia exports, while tourism also brings in foreign reserves.
