Our Previous Activity of Youth Co:Lab Cambodia
Actually, Youth Co:Lab Cambodia has been working since January with 10 teams of young social entrepreneurs in a 3 month incubation period. The incubation helped them to improve their business prototype into a feasible early operational product, which can be sold to the public and also tackling social problems that are related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the same time.
This was a 3-month program for youth who are building innovative startups that contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals, and who can ultimately address youth employment through their success and growth.
Two teams were selected to go to the Youth Co:Lab Regional Dialogue in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, along with 48 other teams from 25 different countries in the Asia Pacific. They’ll have the chance to showcase your startup in front of a wide range of ecosystem enablers, government and youth, attend additional training, increase your network, and learn about regional trends in social entrepreneurship. They are Smart Farm Assistance and Haystome.
