The Cambodia Chamber of Commerce (CCC) has highlighted the success of its participation in the international exhibition “The Battery Show Asia 2025 – Mobility Tech Asia” in Hong Kong, China. During their mission, the delegation held meetings with several international investors.
According to a July 19 CCC social media post, the Cambodian delegation was led by Chang Chivinh, CCC vice-president and president of the Koh Kong Provincial Chamber of Commerce. He led 17 delegates to the July 14–18 exhibition.
According to the CCC, the event was designed to showcase Asia’s strategic importance in the battery, energy storage and mobile electronics industries, which are developing rapidly. It featured more than 350 booths, with over 15,000 industry professionals and technology experts in attendance, along with more than 150 specialist guest speakers. The event was co-hosted with Mobility Tech Asia and Data Center Asia, further enhancing its relevance and reach into interconnected sectors.
The chamber explained that comprehensive displays showcased the latest advancements in battery technology, energy storage solutions and EV/HV innovations. It also included international conferences addressing key topics such as policies and regulations, advanced technologies, hydrogen energy, emerging programmes and investment trends.

During these meetings, Chivinn outlined the Kingdom’s potential and the benefits that investors could gain from investing directly in Cambodia. These include political stability, favourable investment laws, labour force availability, competitive energy costs, transportation infrastructure and access to export markets.
“Through these meetings, both parties exchanged and shared information on investment potential and opportunities. All parties showed positive perceptions toward Cambodia’s business environment, expressing interest and consideration in forming partnerships and expanding investments into the country,” noted the CCC.
Chivinh stated that the chamber stands ready to welcome and assist all companies wishing to invest in Cambodia by facilitating and coordinating their efforts.
