1.Why SME? Globally, SMEs account for 90% of businesses, 60 to 70% of employment and 50% of GDP. In Cambodia, SME represents more than 95% in the composition of Cambodia’s private sector. SMEs have the potential to drive much-needed job creation and economic growth—but they are facing increasingly challenges, particularly during the evolution of industry 4.0.
