A new Ecothon Cambodia 2020 is being organised by ASEIC (ASEM SMEs Eco-Innovation Center) and Underdogs, which will host the virtual event in October for Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) in Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Myanmar.
What is Ecothon Cambodia?
The Ecothon is a hacking eco (environmental) competition aimed at supporting entrepreneurs who contribute to UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) by coming up with a sustainable and innovative business idea. In Cambodia, the event will run from October 13-16 online, due to the COVID-19 restrictions. The participants "will network with the mentors/other participants as well as develop their own business model sustainably" according to the organisers. The competition is open to anyone who lives in Cambodia or if you are planning on running a business in the Kingdom in the near future.
