  • map the entrepreneurial ecosystem with a focus on knowledge and resources in Cambodia and in the programme's targeted areas (Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Oddar Meanchey and Preah Vihear) that startups/companies can access to start and scale up operations
  • inform the design of an inclusive demand-driven incubation and acceleration programme for startups/companies, operating in the field of climate resilient agriculture, with the ultimate objective of building/strengthening the ability of startups/companies to reach vulnerable groups with their products and services
  • assess potential use/collaboration with iBAN tools for inclusive business coaching and support
