Why should you work for Impact Hub Phnom Penh?
Our mission and vision
By building resilient, collaborative, and socially conscious enterprises over the next 5-10 years, we can create a more sustainable, just, and innovative Cambodia by 2030.
At Impact Hub Phnom Penh, we introduce ourselves as a community that nurtures impact makers and strengthens the ecosystem with the vision of a more sustainable, just, and innovative Cambodia. We inspire, connect, and enable a generation of collaborative impact makers, including youths, entrepreneurs, and innovators, through our program, consultancy, community building, and online learning to support them in making a positive social and environmental impact. We want to build a thriving ecosystem of impact-driven businesses and young leaders across Cambodia and are piloting Impact Hub chapters in Battambang (Phum Impact).
We live in a crucial and pivotal time in Cambodia. With 68% of the population under 30, the next 5-10 years will significantly define Cambodia’s future. We see this as a window of opportunity to inspire and empower the next generation to create a real and lasting positive impact. With climate change, gender equality, poverty alleviation, and many more big issues, we must nurture leaders and entrepreneurs bold enough to do things differently. We’re here to help them make that happen.
