Program
Our Background
Cambodian entrepreneurs encounter various obstacles such as limited access to finance, business support, human capital, and markets. In response to these challenges, the Cambodia-Japan Cooperation Center (CJCC), an entrepreneurship-support organization, established the CJCC Accelerator Program (CJAP) in 2018. The program aims to address these challenges by partnering with Cambodian business associations, skilled business owners, Cambodian and Japanese mentors and lecturers, and a Japanese crowdfunding platform.
The Purpose and Content of the program
The CJAP program is to grow the investment ready entrepreneurs through providing the business capacity development as well as creating the fundraising opportunities with Cambodian Business Association, impact investors and Japanese Companies. To achieve the program’s objectives, we design the program into two main phases:
First Phase is to develop business capacities
Participants learn to develop their business capacities from intensive workshops, peer to peer mentoring from experts (optional), and support from the CJAP coordinators.Second Phase is to provide business matching and fundraising opportunity
Participants will participate in an online demo day, pitching opportunities with Cambodian business association and Japanese companies, business matching and fundraising support for business expansion, and boot camp opportunity with CJAP colleagues, alumni, trainers and coordinators to improve their pitching and presentation skills.
