UK-ASEAN Trade Mission: Empowering Women Entrepreneurs in Cambodia and Beyond

Initiative connects Cambodian women-led businesses with UK buyers to foster trade and economic growth.
The UK-ASEAN Trade Mission is spotlighting women entrepreneurs across ASEAN, with a two-day event in Phnom Penh on November 18 and 19, followed by business engagements in Jakarta. Organized by the UK Government in partnership with ITC SheTrades and CamWEN, this mission aims to empower women in business and strengthen trade ties.

Seventy-five Cambodian women-led businesses will connect with eight UK companies during meet-the-buyer sessions. Minister of Commerce H.E. Chom Nimol and British Ambassador H.E. Dominic Williams will address the event, underscoring the UK’s commitment to gender equality and economic collaboration. Delegates will also visit local business sites, fostering further discussions in textiles, apparel, and handicrafts.

The mission highlights initiatives like ITC’s new export procedure handbook, supporting women-led businesses in accessing UK markets through the Developing Countries Trading Scheme. After Phnom Penh, the mission continues in Jakarta, advancing inclusive economic opportunities across ASEAN.
